Asher Callahan, you absolute hunk đ. I love following along the Love & Hockey series and seeing these ladies get their soulmates.
Maeve felt so relate-able and i was rooting for her right alongside her husband.
If you like: dual POV, friends to lovers, he falls first, and fake marriage. buckle up buster, cuz this man is HOTTOGO.

Way too much over explaining that takes you out of the story. Explaining flashbacks rather than showing the reader. Just way too wordy.

j'ai adorĂ© Maeve et Asher, leur histoire de mariage, l'amitiĂ© qui les lie et qui va petit Ă petit glisser vers l'amour, le fait qu'il n'y ait pas de gros drame et les sourires qu'ils engendrent. J'ai aimĂ© cette histoire positive, la façon dont Asher fait tout pour celle dont il reconnait ĂȘtre amoureux et tout ce que ça implique pour l'un comme pour l'autre. Ils sont touchants, attachants, nous font vibrer et j'ai adorĂ© voir leur intimitĂ© grandir au fur et Ă mesure qu'ils se rapprochent. Le final est vraiment trĂšs chouette et j'ai apprĂ©ciĂ© de les voir se battre pour ce qui compte pour eux. Les personnages secondaires leur apporte aussi de l'aide et j'ai adorĂ© cette ambiance si spĂ©ciale et la maniĂšre dont ils sont entourĂ©s. Une trĂšs jolie romance intense et qui donne le sourire.

<strong>super cute friends to lovers, hockey romance. & uhm, hello, Asher? HOLY HOT. I was NOT expecting that. </strong>
I absolutely love these book and these characters. The plot usually always falls a bit short for me and the ending felt a bit rushed, but a good read overall. This is decently spicy too.
**SPOILERS**
Uhm?? Daddy Asher??? Hello???? I was NOT expecting that side of him & I am very okay with it.
Very interested in Miles and Leightonâs story next đ€đ€

This is book 3 in the Love & Hockey series, itâs a fun, swoony, sports romance which will leave you delightfully sedated in happyland. The story is told in dual pov and follows the MCs Maeve and Asher. These two had sweet and steamy chemistry! Their friendship and gradual relationship development was cuter and Asherâs secret pinning for Maeve made him even more loveable.
I listened to the audiobook which was duet narrated by Vanessa Edwin and Robert Hatchet. These two added an additional layer of joy and entertainment. This book was a good time. It was fun, tender, and an overall feel good kinda read. This book was filled with great laughs and heart smile moments. I was invested from the first line and chapter. I mean when you start a book with âDoes this clutch look like a d**kâ? How can one not be interested??đLuckily, the rest of that book was just as entertaining.
Themes & Tropes:
đBrothers Best Friend
â€ïžFriends to Lovers
đ€Marriage of Convenience
đMarriage Pact
â€ïžUnrequited Love
đ€Forced Proximity,
đMy Wife
â€ïžProfessional Hockey
Overall, liked this read! Highly recommend reading the other books in the series if you havenât tried them. This is an easy, must read for my hockey romance lovers. Canât wait for book 4!

I have loved this whole series so far. I was fortunate enough to get the ARC and ALC for this book. The narrators, Vanessa Edwin and Robert Hatchet, do a fantastic job bringing these characters to life. The narration is in duet, which is my favorite!!
This was an utterly swoon-worthy friends-to-lovers romance. Maeve and Asher have been friends for years. After Maeve wins the auction for a date in Vegas to save Asher from an influencer wanting to use him for followers, they wake up from a drunken night married. They are wrong in thinking they can keep this to themselves and it will be a fun story they can laugh about later, but when it goes viral on social media, they decide to roll with it.
Asher starts to fall for Maeve first. I love how their friendship naturally develops into love. It reminded me so much of my husband and me. Their years-long friendship lays down a solid path for their love to be strong and unbreakable.
Laurenâs book perfectly combines humor, love, heat, and mental health. She isnât afraid to cover heavier topics but does it in a realistic and relatable way. I adore her writing and canât wait to read more from this series. All of these are more than âjust a hockey romance.â
The Proposal Play and the rest of the Love and Hockey series are free on KU. They are a must-read!
Quotes:
Asher: âShut up and cuddle.â
Maeve: âThere you go againâgiving me orders.â
Asher: âAnd you love them.â
Maeve: âIâm an independent woman. I donât want a man to tell me what to do. Unless weâre in bed and he wants to hold my throat.â
I was slowly, over time, day by day, falling in love with my best friend.
Maeve: âDo I look good in your clothes?â
Asher: âYou look likeâŠâ Mine.

Love a friends to lovers romance. Wish she hadnât fought it for so long. He did try to show her how he felt, but I wanted him to use words earlier. He tried, but she talked herself out of every gesture and comment. Really could hace done without the grand public jesture.
