About this ebook

#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey is back with an all-new enemies-to-lovers, fake-dating sports romance about a playboy hockey rookie and the disciplined softball pitcher completely immune to his charms.

Boston Bearcats rookie Robbie Corrigan is living the dream. He’s made it to the NHL, his best friend/teammate and fellow “orgasm donor” is his roomie—and the women of Boston love them both. Life is sweet. That is, until he meets Skylar Paige, division 1 softball pitcher, girl least likely to take anyone’s bull…and the one member of the opposite sex immune to his charms. Robbie might be dazzled by the badass pitcher, but Skylar pegs him as a filthy player and wants nothing to do with him.

When he discovers she’s carrying a serious torch for her brother’s best friend, Robbie knows he should just go back to clubbing and whipped cream bikini parties, but he can’t seem to leave Skylar to flounder on her romantic quest to land another man. Nor can he miss out on the opportunity to spend time with her and hopefully redeem himself. Before Robbie knows it, he’s agreed to be Skylar’s fake boyfriend/love coach at an upcoming family wilderness competition where her crush will be in attendance. What could go wrong?

Through a series of contests that require them to trust each other, Robbie and Skylar grow closer and closer until their fake relationship starts to feel like the realest thing they’ve ever known and the sizzling lessons in sensuality burn out of control.

But it’s all just pretend…right?

What a dangerous game they're playing! Skylar has two goals: win her family's annual competition, and score her brother's best friend for herself. To do that, she needs a replacement partner for the upcoming Page Stakes, someone who will also make her crush just a teeny bit jealous - enough to rouse his attention to the fact that she's so much more than his friend's little sister. The brash, womanizing, overly confident hockey player who's as competitive as she is seems to be the perfect choice - he'll not only help her win the games, he'll also pretend to be her boyfriend and help her catch her catcher. Ah, the best laid plans... One of my favorite tropes, and this book is a perfect example of why. The sparks flying between these two are full of animosity, at first, but then they see enough of each other's true colors to start changing their original opinions, and that's when things really get interesting. This story is equal parts steam and hilarity, with a double dose of emotional intensity. Lots of fun to read from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys contemporary rom-coms.

Robbie has been struck by insta-lurve and although he is supposed to be helping Skylar snag the man of her dreams he is secretly hoping that he can make her forget the other guy. I enjoyed this, but the high steam factor kind of clashed with the sweetness of Robbie really 'seeing' Skylar and supporting her. I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.

another easy read with a fun, albeit, incredibly steamy storyline that I enjoyed. Cant wait for the next one
