Publisher Description

Girlfriend…without benefits?

Hometown hockey hero, Blake has life completely figured out. He’s footloose and fancy free with the world’s coolest job and an endless parade of puck bunnies ready to help him celebrate his victories. The status quo is working for him, so why does he agree to co-parent a stray puppy with his too-serious, workaholic neighbor, Erika? And why is he so annoyed when she suddenly starts dating some tool named Doug? And why can’t he stop finding excuses to see her and touch her and kiss her and… She’s not his girlfriend, right?

Erika has enough on her plate as an ER doctor without adding any more stress to her life. So adopting a dog with Blake, the fun-loving, never-take-anything-serious, commitment-phobe across the hall is a stupid idea, right? Of course, she also probably shouldn’t be his plus-one for charity galas either. Or seeking comfort from him during a thunderstorm. Or kissing his five-for-fighting boo-boos better. Or letting him teach her how to “reduce stress” with her personal toy collection. After all, he’s not her boyfriend. Is he?

So what happens when two people reluctant to commit find love where they least expect it… Right across the hall.

Opposite that works!

What a great start to a new sport series! Book 1 of Stingrays Hockey series brings a playboy hockey player and a workaholic ER doctor together with all the cuteness added with a dog they end up sharing that makes their life more complete. Erika and Blake’s characters couldn’t be any more cuter as their relationship becomes more in tangled as the dog they rescues brings an unexpected heat level that they have been denying to life. I love watching them fall for their dog and then find themselves in all the sweet, delightful heat level that makes their characters so lovable. This was an enjoyable and heartwarming first book and I can’t wait for more of the series!
