The Proposal Play
by Lauren Blakely
Tropes:
-hockey romance
-found family
-"my wife"
-best friends to lovers
-forced proximity
-marriage pact
-marriage of convenience
-Vegas wedding
-dual POV
-duet narration
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.
Lauren’s book perfectly combines humor, love, heat, and mental health. She isn’t afraid to cover heavier topics but does it in a realistic and relatable way. I adore her writing and can’t wait to read more from this series. All of these are more than “just a hockey romance.”
The Proposal Play and the rest of the Love and Hockey series are free on KU. They are a must-read!
Quotes:
Asher: “Shut up and cuddle.”
Maeve: “There you go again—giving me orders.”
Asher: “And you love them.”
Maeve: “I’m an independent woman. I don’t want a man to tell me what to do. Unless we’re in bed and he wants to hold my throat.”
I was slowly, over time, day by day, falling in love with my best friend.
Maeve: “Do I look good in your clothes?”
Asher: “You look like…” Mine.
