Holy hockey hotness!! This book is fabulous. Stephanie can honestly do no wrong. This book has everything and is the perfect mix of banter, comedy, sweetness, pining, and spice. I just adored Rory and Hazel. Rory has it bad for Hazel and it is so endearing. I loved seeing their relationship evolve and grow. As Hazel dropped her guard their relationship was able to become much deeper and meaningful. Rory is a man in love and pulls out all the stops during the fake dating scheme to make sure he keeps his girl. Also we must acknowledge his nickname for her because how cute?? Honorable mention to rest of the guys on the team, I love the tight-knit friendships. I absolutely recommend this book to the hockey girlies and the fake dating fans. You will not be able to put this one down!

i loved this one, even more than pippa a jamie’s book. the story is simple and only focuses on the romance but it’s an easy read, i fell in love with the characters.

i’m glad there was no typical 3rd act breakup as it wouldn’t have worked for this story but there was still enough conflict in the story to stay interesting

the spice was great as per usual and i loved seeing both of them work through their issues and learn to be vulnerable and communicate.
