Brooks Langfield is the Saint of professional hockey and is in love with his best friend. Sara Case loves her job, can't get enough of her best friend, and is finished with her boyfriend, the coach of the team she is the PR Manager for. She knows she deserves better and this is only further confirmed when she is blindsided to learn that the man she'd been dating is married. Brooks is furious with his uncle for hurting the woman he loves and comes up with a little revenge plan, he and Sara will start fake dating and drive Coach out. Now the Saint is lying, stealing, and fighting to keep his chance at dating Sara for real alive. She's the only person he wants calling him a good boy and needs to show her this is so much more than pucking revenge. 

GOAL!!! This book might have been the ultimate hockey romance for me. It was a perfect combination of revenge, fake dating, and best friends discovering a deeper love. And thanks to this one I'll never look at a Lisa Frank notebook the same again. I fell for Brooks initially, and my love only grew as I read. How can you resist a man who can cook and would lasso the moon for the people he loves? Sara was feisty and awkward and the absolute best! Her dedication to her work and her family and friends made her a character you want to root for! The mix between blood family and found family ties was strong in this book.  The connections they both had to their families and the families they made along the way were heartwarming, especially when we saw that the Bolts teammates would do anything for each other. I appreciate how well Brooks and Sara communicate with one another, as miscommunication is my least favorite trope and their open communication avoids this issue. I cannot wait to follow the series with the next Langfield brother!!
