The Pucker-Up Pact by J.P. Sterling is the romance story of pop-singer Sopie and hockey player Axl, who get in a fake dating relationship to boost Sophie’s ticket sales and make Axl more likable. But we all know fake dating does not work out the way it is supposed to be. And as I discovered the hockey romances not so long ago, I was very eager to read this book, also because I know J.P. Sterling has a great humorous writing style as well.
From the very first I loved this story! The writing style is very flowing and I could not stop reading. We have dual POV and that writing style is one of my favorites. You get to know both of the characters better this way and I loved how J.P. Sterling made Sophie and Axl characters you come to love. There are some really funny moments in The Pucker-Up Pact and of course swoony ones too. But as fake dating hardly exist, there is also some drama (something like a betrayal), which made the story even more interesting and romantic.
Sophie is a great character, likable and a normal person and she wants to be the best employer for her crew (sounds like a great pop-singer we all know: Taylor Swift). When she runs home after a bad experience, she agrees af first to take some photos with ice hockey player Axl. I just loved how the owner of the hockey team made this and the fake relationship up, that was just hilarious. He is, next to Sophie and Axl, my favorite personage of this story. Axl is a bit grumpy, he lives for his sport and does not want to date anymore. But both agree to some rules and the relationship takes off and they become friends, but it does not take long when both start to feel more. I rooted for them all along. They just belong together. And the ending of this story was just so swoony, I could see it all in my mind.
The Pucker-Up Pact is a sweet cute and adorable book which I enjoyed immensely. It has two great main characters, a swoony story-line, a great flowing writing style, a book I can totally recommend!
And I can’t wait to read more books by J.P. Sterling!
“Did that bush just sneeze?”
Axl just wants to make it to the major leagues but the universe laughed. The owner of a minor league hockey team is using him to put bottoms in the seats by almost, sort of, blackmailing a down on her luck pop singer with her own revenge fantasies that sees him as the perfect vehicle of retribution. What follows is a quirky celebrity shomance equal to Taylor and Travis and much more entertaining!
