Trick Play by Veronica Eden

TRICK PLAY was a great college sports romance featuring a hotshot hockey player and a nerdy heroine who made a deal to fake date. I loved both Lainey and Alex and they made a great couple. They sort of know each other because Lainey's twin brother is also a hockey player at Heston U but they've never really spent any time together. Watching the charming and easy going Alex fall for Lainey was great and this was also a fun introduction to the series and the Heston U hockey team. My only complaint is that I don't understand why Lainey ran away from the party; yes she overhears her bully being a jerk but then Alex defends her so I don't know why she's convinced her relationship with Alex is over. It seemed contrived to create some drama and give Alex a reason to make a grand gesture.
