About this listen
You’d think nearly dying trying to get out of a too-tight gown in a dressing room and being saved by a strong, competent man was a good thing.
Not so much, though, when that strong, competent man is your ex. Your secret ex.
And the reason you need a gown is because you’re part of a charity auction.
The charity auction where he gets into a bidding war to win you.
And now, because you’re one of few female coaches in professional baseball, and he’s the captain of the local professional hockey team, and he paid a ridiculous sum of money for you…
The entire city is shipping you. You can’t leave your apartment without getting a knowing wink from strangers. Your bosses want to use the publicity to have you jointly launch a new community outreach program.
That’s bad enough. It truly is.
But even worse?
Duncan Lavoie, the green-eyed, curly-haired, dimple-cheeked, hot-as-lava hockey player wants a second chance. And he’ll play dirty to get it.
The Secret Hook-Up is a laugh-out-loud romcom featuring the hot-as-sin hockey captain of the Copper Valley Thrusters, the Copper Valley Fireballs’ lady baseball coach he never got over, and a misbehaving formal gown. It stands alone and comes complete with a happily-ever-after.

There are a million reasons why I shouldn’t date Fletcher Huxley. He’s a growly-faced, stubborn-streaked, international rugby legend trying to revive his flailing career in the US after being canned by his team overseas. While he might have the good kind of thunder thighs, intriguing tattoos, and a booty of steel, he also holds the top position on my very short nemesis list thanks to what happened the first time we met.

He's a billionaire heir. A grump supreme. Hater of people. Bigger hater of peopling with people. And my new fake boyfriend. "Emotionally unavailable" doesn’t even begin to describe Hayes Rutherford. He has more defenses than a nuclear missile silo. And he’s the ultimate catch of the century. At least, according to his bank statement. My job’s simple: Keep all interested ladies away from the walled-off heir, by pretending to be his one true love. But you know what they say about fake-dating a billionaire: It’s all fun and games, until the scandals start.

A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country… Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing. Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me. But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start. In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also–wait for it–my brand new roommate.

If the Upper East Side had an evil twin, it would be Tickled Pink, Wisconsin. This run-down, backwoods town isn’t worthy of the footprint of my Louboutins, never mind all of me. But when my grandmother has a near-death experience and realizes we Lightlys can’t buy our way into heaven, she relocates the family to Tickled Pink to work on improving our souls. And that’s how I trade my heiress existence for gigantic bugs, dishwater coffee, and a cranky single dad named Teague Miller.

It's been 10 years since he took my virginity - I'd make a bratwurst joke, but the unfortunate truth is that it would have to be a brat-best joke, and yes, it kills me to admit that - and now he's not only a billionaire, he's also my new boss.

Now I’m stuck working for the jerk because only he can give me the job I really want—manager of his hotel. When he needs a fake fiancé for business reasons, there’s an easy solution—blackmail.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

He has the muscles of Adonis, an ego bigger than the sun, and a very clear desire to get back in my pants. Which would be fantastic if he weren't a SEAL and I wasn't a criminal. Although, I prefer the term avenger. I'm a hacktivist, cleaning up the cesspool of cyberspace one scam artist and troll at a time, and I sometimes bend a few rules to get justice done. He's a military man with abs of glory, sworn to uphold the letter of the law no matter its shortcomings. And if he'd known who - or what - I was, I doubt he would've banged me at my best friend's wedding reception.

2nd chance, meddling friends, strong female &spice
To the point: Female BB coach/Hockey captain, 2nd chances, meddling teammates, female empowerment, and of course the famous Pippa Grant rom com and spice.
Fangirl: OMG this was just so good. It was the perfect mix of both teams, of old characters making appearances but of a new love story, of heart and spice. I think Addie is my spirit animal. I have been in the dressing room dealing with dresses just like her! Too bad I didn't have a Duncan! This book just filled my heart and I didnt want to stop reading til I was done, and now I want a reread of both series! I am so happy that Addie found such a supportive partner. I love how Duncan is with his niece, just adorable!
Need to know: This book can be read as a complete stand alone. Everything you need to know will be given to you. However I feel that you will get more out of it if you have read the Fireballs and Thrusters series as the two main characters are from each team. And we also get a lot cameos from previous main characters from both series.
Sad to say but this almost feels like a closing out of the series for both of them. But what a way to end on a high note. And it was amazing to visit with some of my favorite past characters to see them past their HEA, past their retirement, and them living their best lives.
Also note: I listened to the audio of this book. I love Pippa's narrators. She always does a good job of picking them. I think audio really helps to connect to the characters quicker than just reading. They did a great job.

just fun - and great cast!
The book I didn't realize I needed as a long time Pippa Grant fan! Duncan finally gets his HEA and it was fantastic. Duncan and Addie (Daddie!) had a hook up a long time ago but Addie got cold feet, wanting to focus on her career, and years passed by where they were in the same sports world sphere (She's a batting coach, he's a NFL player). A funny (re)meet cute, a wonderful romantic gesture and then a love reignited kept this story moving quickly. Add in so many beloved characters with cross overs from multiple series, and this story made me swoon, laugh (naturally) and reminisce about the good old days while loving this expanded world!
I was so excited to yet again experience another book with Virginia Rose, who has an amazing comedic ability and is great at varying her voices. As always she excelled and with Tim Paige, the narration absolutely kept me enthralled! Another fantastic listen by Pippa Grant and her well chosen narrators.

Another Hilarious One By Pippa!
Pippa is back with a new interconnected standalone and per usual, it’s a laugh out loud and entertaining experience.
The Secret Hook Up is the crossover book I never knew I needed. Getting to hang out with so many of my beloved people from both the Thrusters and Fireballs world was everything. My heart just absolutely overflowed.
Duncan knew exactly what he wanted and that was Addie’s heart. He was willing to do whatever it took to prove he was deserving. Gaaah, I loved it. He had all the right words: both dirty and sweet that made him impossible to resist.
Addie had her impenetrable guard up, for understandable reasons. She made Duncan out in overtime but what she didn’t realize was he wasn’t afraid of a challenge. The chemistry, the banter…it was just so good. Of course, a Pippa book isn’t a Pippa book with some over the top hilarity to keep me on my toes and tears in my eyes from laughter. I loved being back in her world.
Virginia Rose and Tim Paige were just the cherry on top. The laughs came even harder with these two narrating. The perfect Duncan and Addie. They definitely brought this story to life in a fabulously hilarious way.

Fun, Moving and Steamy Romance!
I was completely captivated by Addie and Duncan's fun, moving, and steamy second chance romance! Addie is a female in a mostly male field. She works hard to be taken seriously as a batting coach for the Copper Valley Fireballs! She had a clandestine affair with Hockey Hottie, Duncan Lavoie, not wanting people to think she was using him to get ahead. When Duncan wanted more, Addie refused, fearing it would end her dreams, so Duncan left her, breaking both their hearts. Now years later, they meet again, and their attraction resurfaces even stronger. Addie still has her fears, but Duncan is determined to show her that they are meant for each other. When their teams want them to join forces for a new community outreach program, They are helpless to fight against what they both really want. But is Addie stronger and more confident to give a relationship with Duncan a real chance, or will she send him away crushing both their hearts for good? This is a hilarious, and hopeful romance about letting go of the past, forgiveness, believing in second chances, and finding that forever love.
Virginia Rose and Tim Paige were perfect as Addie and Duncan. I loved how Rose portrayed Addie's growth to a more confident woman. Paige easily portrayed the sweet, thoughtful, and deliciously dirty, Duncan, who made my heart skip a beat. I adored Addie and Duncan's fun, tender, and sizzling story, and was completely lost in this performance.

This is the BEST!
What a great story! It is so enjoyable to read! The hockey/baseball theme is just so exciting that I could hardly wait to be able to open the book and continue reading. The wording is smooth and transitions are well done making this one hard to put down. The characters are delightful! They make me laugh right along with them. The meet cute is amazingly funny! Every woman knows EXACTLY how Addie feels being stuck in that Dress…. twisting, turning, tugging while panic flares and fear creeps in of being stuck like this. “Just get my arms free!!”
Secondary characters are plentiful. I want to give a nod to Addie’s brothers..while they don’t say much they say a lot at the same time. Plus you never know who will pop up from Pippa’s other sports stories which add some hilarity and chaos to this one!
Overall I loved this one. I am not sure how this author keeps coming up with these captivating storylines but I yearn for more! Looking forward to the audio!

Enjoyed
I enjoyed sitting. back and listening to Tim and Virginia perform as Duncan and Addie. I always look forward to listening to a story in the Cooper Valley Thruster series. Current on all of her books. Addie as the batting coach was perfect. Cameos by some of my favorite characters was a wonderful surprise.

Another fun read/listen
I’ve been on a Pippa Grant binge for weeks now and am never disappointed. So many laughs, so much heart, and characters you can’t help but love. I’ll admit that Addie annoyed me at the start, but it was great to see her grow in this second-chance romance with Duncan. Open door, 🌶️🌶️, and the tea scene is hysterical!

Duncan and Addie
A second chance at love story. These two are amazing and relatable. I enjoyed their chemistry. This book has me laughing out loud and I shed a few tears. I love their support group from family, friends, and teammates. I enjoyed seeing past characters but this can be read as a stand alone. I need more from these two teams. I just love the way Pippa writes. The narrators did a fabulous job with the characters. It brings another side to the characters.
