BLURB
Connor Spears is hockey royalty who most definitely never planned to accidentally marry his childhood irritation Hadley Crews.

Connor is smug, grew up destined for his hockey career, and he’s irritatingly good-looking. He was also my next-door neighbor growing up. He wouldn’t give me the time of day and made it clear he would never be friends with me, the ballerina and daughter of a baseball legend. Except for that one time. Years later, one hazy night, and now he’s apparently my husband according to the paper next to his bed in a Vegas hotel room. You would think we would have it annulled, but he needs to clean up his image, and I’m a sucker for his occasional glances.

So, we agree to stay married.

Rumor spreads fast in Lake Spark, and the responses of our parents, who are best friends, well, uh… they’re mixed. But the problem with marrying for convenience is that you discover secrets about each other. You learn things too, like how he is by far more protective of you than you thought, or how sharing a bed brings out his dominant side. The thing is, it turns out that I may mean more to Connor than he’ll ever admit. When life throws me another twist, I need a real husband to support me. And it turns out that Connor may have always been offside, waiting to win…

Connor and Hadley bring heartwarming steam to this marriage-of-convenience romance with a hint of enemies-to-lovers and a dash of unrequited love. Waiting to Win can be read as a complete standalone and is the second book in the interconnected Lake Spark Off-Season series which is a spin-off of the Lake Spark series that includes their parents’ stories. For lovers of small-town romance with a touch of hockey.

MY REVIEW

Waking up in Vegas...yeah that ol' clichรฉ. Now Hadley has to deal with a marriage to her least favorite person, Connor Spears. She may have had a crush on him in her distant past, but no longer, so being married to the jerk is going to test her in ways she's really not looking forward to. Her body might still be attracted to the man, but his obnoxious personality gets more smug every day, and she really dislikes having to be married to the man who rejected her so horribly. She'll just have to stick it out until they can make it look like they gave it a good try. No problem, right?


Connor's hiding a secret from Hadley. Now that they're married, he'll definitely never tell her, because one it's not his to tell, and two, she'll leave him in a heartbeat. And he wants to stay married to the woman he's never gotten out of his mind, regardless of the way he treats her. He's going to keep her if it's the last thing he does, and make her realize how lucky they are that though they may not remember their wedding, but they're meant to be.


Enemies to lovers vibes, accidental wedding - tropes I love. Hadley and Connor have snarky, fun dialogue, and electric chemistry. So why not 4 stars? Well, the drama toward the end seemed thrown in and manufactured. And Hadley's reaction was ridiculous. But I like the story itself, and both characters, even if I don't like the last part very much.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...

Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay.
