Publisher's summary

Everyone in Heston Lake is obsessed with Heston U's hockey team—except me.

I'd rather do a live reading from the spiciest romance on my bookshelf nude than talk hockey.

I could ignore my college town transforming into a sports bar during hockey season, but there's no escaping the players fueling their obsession. My twin brother… and his best friend on the team.

#22. Alex Keller. Talented winger. The handsome hotshot player every girl on campus dreams of. And my fake boyfriend for the next two weeks.

His idea, not mine.

I doubt he knew I existed—until he stops the football team from teasing me. All it takes is a pet name and his strong arm around me. Playing along is my only option.

I'm ready to go back to my side of the divide between nerds like me and athletes like Alex, but he refuses. He's determined to protect me for real, even if our relationship is fake.

The only problem is he's too good at pretending. Our act fools everyone—including me.

Cute and quick read

I loved this novella! I especially loved Alex Kydd and Stephanie Rose as Alex and Lainey. This was super cute, spicy, and sweet. A great prequel for a great series!

So cute!

This is a quick read but it is so cute. It gives you that feeling of love can always find you even when you doubt it all, and I love that. It’s worth a read and a reread! Alex is the kind of book boyfriend that is to swoon over, he is kind, patient, strong, and dirty. I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait for more in this series!

hockey, fake dating, brothers best friend delight!

This was a spicy + cute prequel novella following Lainey, a shy, introverted book lover and her brother’s best friend & college hockey heartthrob, Alex.

After Alex notices Lainey getting harassed by some guys on the football team, he steps in and pretends to be her boyfriend to get them off her back. Lainey agrees to a fake dating relationship after Alex proposes to keep the jig going until her school dance event so she can plan and prepare in peace without other boys around campus bothering her. His reason being once they know she’s “his”, she will be left unbothered.

I really enjoyed the narration of this one and thought the voice actors shined while bringing this story to life.

The story for me lacked a bit for me at the conflict toward the end, with Lainey being upset about what footballers said to Alex when he stepped in to defend her yet again but she didn’t witness it because she ran away immediately.

All in all, I still look forward to continuing the series and meeting the other players on the team!
