The perfect fake-dating college sports romance for fans of Bal Khabra and Hannah Grace
May Velasco has always wanted to be a lacrosse player, and she’s finally achieved her dream: joining her college team on a scholarship. Now she's got to give her all to keep her hard-fought place on the team.
But then CJ "Colt" Bradley shows up at her college to help with training. He's a professional player, but he was also her grade school nemesis, and the last thing May wants to do is take pointers from him.
So when they're photographed having what looks like – but definitely isn't – an intimate moment at a bar, May's outraged. But the college is thrilled that women's lacrosse is getting press.
May and Colt will have to pretend they're dating until the lacrosse team is happy. But it doesn't take long before this fake relationship starts to feel all too real, and May begins to question if she really wants this relationship to be fake after all…

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Patel (Offtrack) turns from Formula 1 to college lacrosse in this cute if light sports romance. When CJ "Colt" Bradley left Oklahoma to play professional lacrosse, he broke the heart of May Velasco, a friend of many years who always hoped they might become something more. Now, after a horrendous knee injury, Colt takes a medical break from his team, the New Haven Woodchucks, and returns to Oklahoma to work as an assistant coach at the University of Oklahoma City, where May is currently in her senior year and captain of the women's lacrosse team. May's furious to see him at first, but when the pair are photographed together and mistaken for a couple online, the school urges them to keep up a PR relationship to draw attention to their lacrosse program. The conceit somewhat strains credulity and the leads' flirty banter feels a bit stiff, but Patel does a good job capturing her characters' athletic ambitions and Colt's complicated feelings in the wake of his injury. Readers looking for easy, tropey fare will be pleased.
