The Fake Out by Stephanie Archer
5.0

Stephanie Archer has a way of making you feel like these characters are yours alone.

I went in expecting this book to have all the torment of a usual enemies to lovers, but this was like jumping onto a squishy mattress and fluffy pillows in slow motion. It was perfect.

Really enjoyed the arc Rory experiences around his faltering love for hockey, most ice hockey books class it as the best thing ever but Rory wanted more than the goals, he wanted it to matter.

It also helps that there’s an ex boyfriend in the mix to put back in his place, we all love a protective golden retriever fake-soon-to-be-not-fake boyfriend.
