***A Fake Relationship, Brother's Best Friend, Steamy Hockey Romance***

What’s worse than being in a fake relationship with my childhood crush? When he's a notorious NHL party-boy and my brother’s best friend!

Being hired as the PR representative for the hockey team I’ve always been a fan of, should be a dream come true, especially because my old crush plays for them.

My suggestion to save Briggs's career is solid… have him fake date someone wholesome who can change his image. That’s when my big mouth gets in the way and I admit to being the-girl-next-door.

Now… my boss is offering me the promotion of a lifetime, but it comes with strings…

Fake date Briggs Conley!

Now I have to fix Briggs’ reputation, lie to our families, keep my MMA fighter brother from pummeling his best friend, and stop myself from falling further for my childhood crush, all while we're forced to live together and pretend to be madly in love in front of the cameras.

What could possibly go wrong?

How about when my brother ends up in our guest bedroom and I end up with a pro hockey player in my bed.

amazing

I really enjoyed this the storyline was great the characters were great it was very enjoyable to read also it had funny parts and sad parts and it was just all around a good book

Cute book- hated the female narrator

This book was so cute it was super fast paced but the characters didn’t need to waste much time since they were childhood friends. The male narrator was great but the female narrator made it so hard to finish this book. The monotone, and lack of emotional narration was painful. Sorry Erin :(

Great story!

I loved this story. Not a huge fan of the male narrator but I loved how this story played out! Briggs is such a cocky sweetheart. You can’t help but love him. Autumn is also super sweet and kind. It was just the right balance of sexy and sweet I think.

Duet Narration Not Used

Why would the author or producer not choose duet narration. A decision like that cheapens the story. Using the male and female characters try and sound like the opposite gender is so narrow minded. Do better by your customer. The female narrator Erin Mallon doesn’t sound like an actor at all. She’s literally reading. She should listen to CJ Bloom who’s the best female narrator of all times. Same is true of Teddy Hamilton. Best male narrator ever.

Fell in love with the characters

I started this book not thinking is was going to be anything special but it was perfect for what I wanted! Something not too deep but still entertaining. The characters had great banter and I found myself laughing a lot! The storyline was a bit predictable but I didn’t have a problem with that I just wanted a light hearted read and this was perfect for that! 

AMAZING

I LOVE all the trope’s and the scenes, and how there painted out in the book and how the narrators tell it

Cute hockey romance

This was a lighthearted and cute hockey romance. The story line was cute and characters were likable.

Cute hero and heroine

This was a fun hockey romance with a little bit of drama and a lot of heart. This was a forced proximity/best friend's little sister romance, so if those are tropes you like, this is the book for you. The characters were likeable and I was rooting for them in the end. Christian Fox and Erin Mallon were fantastic as the narrators.

Excellent best friend’s sister + fake dating hockey romance

Great narrators bring the characters to life which is why I love audiobooks!

This is a story about a Seattle hockey player who has a questionable reputation. When he’s blackmailed by someone he turns to a PR firm to protect himself…and realizes that his best friend’s sister Autumn works for the firm. She ends up trying to improve his image by fake dating him due to her long relationship with him and his family. What starts as a ruse becomes a real relationship once she discovers that his bad behavior was being driven by his father’s health issue.

How it was the boss who was blackmailing Briggs, and not the performer

I liked how they were childhood friends and how Issac was being protective about Briggs dating Autumn
