Description de l’éditeur
#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey is back with an all-new enemies-to-lovers, fake-dating sports romance about a playboy hockey rookie and the disciplined softball pitcher completely immune to his charms.
Boston Bearcats rookie Robbie Corrigan is living the dream. He’s made it to the NHL, his best friend/teammate and fellow “orgasm donor” is his roomie—and the women of Boston love them both. Life is sweet. That is, until he meets Skylar Paige, division 1 softball pitcher, girl least likely to take anyone’s bull…and the one member of the opposite sex immune to his charms. Robbie might be dazzled by the badass pitcher, but Skylar pegs him as a filthy player and wants nothing to do with him.
When he discovers she’s carrying a serious torch for her brother’s best friend, Robbie knows he should just go back to clubbing and whipped cream bikini parties, but he can’t seem to leave Skylar to flounder on her romantic quest to land another man. Nor can he miss out on the opportunity to spend time with her and hopefully redeem himself. Before Robbie knows it, he’s agreed to be Skylar’s fake boyfriend/love coach at an upcoming family wilderness competition where her crush will be in attendance. What could go wrong?
Through a series of contests that require them to trust each other, Robbie and Skylar grow closer and closer until their fake relationship starts to feel like the realest thing they’ve ever known and the sizzling lessons in sensuality burn out of control.
But it’s all just pretend…right?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Bailey's sparkling fourth Big Shots romance (after Dream Girl Drama) pairs a playboy hockey player with a prickly softball pitcher. Boston Bearcats rookie Robbie Corrigan is smitten from the moment he meets college senior and Division 1 softball star Skylar Page. Unfortunately for him, she just overheard Robbie boasting about his sexual exploits and writes him off as a pig. She also has a major crush on her brother's best friend, catcher Madden Donahue, who won't give her the time of day. In a scheme to spend time with Skylar, Robbie offers to be her fake boyfriend to make Madden jealous. The stakes rise on this deception when Skylar brings Robbie as her partner to her parents' annual weeklong backyard sports tournament, which Madden will also attend. Attraction on both sides soon leads the fake relationship to heat up, while plentiful competition and interpersonal drama keep the pages flying. Bailey brings characteristic wit and spice to the fake dating trope and crafts a central couple readers will root for. It's especially satisfying when Robbie reveals the big heart beneath his horniness as he steps up to become a supportive partner to Skylar both on and off the field. This is another home run for Bailey.
