Blurb
After fifteen years of tending goal for the Boston Rebels, I’m known for two things: the highest save percentage in the league, and never spending more than one night with the same woman.

I’m definitely not the guy you should trust with your best friend’s little sister. Especially not when that sister, Jules, is eight years younger and my new roommate.

When I witness her on the verge of a panic attack while being intimidated by another man, I don’t think twice about calling her my fiancรฉe and kissing her. Which brings me to the third thing I’m known for: reckless and impulsive decision-making.

After a video of that steamy kiss goes viral, the whole world is convinced we’re engaged. If we don’t play along, I risk losing my place as the starting goalie for the Rebels, and Jules’s reputation and career could tank.

Our engagement may be fake, but the memories of the way she tastes, and the feel of her body wrapped around mine, are all too real. And the more time we spend together, the less it feels like pretending.

None of the secrets from my past seem to matter as much when I’m with her. It turns out, Jules may have some secrets of her own – and uncovering them just might be what heals me…or what finally breaks me.


MY REVIEW


Jules decided she was over her annoying crush on her brother's best friend, Colt, long ago. So she should be able to have him as a roommate for a short time, without it bothering her too much, right? Wrong. Because forced proximity always brings out feelings that lie below the surface. So that tension? Yeah not going anywhere especially now that they're in a fake engagement situation thanks to a viral video and article. They'll both just have to remember it's fake, though...


Colt doesn't want to be noticing Jules in this light. Not now that they're temporary roommates. Not now that they're in a fake engagement. And definitely because his best friend is her brother, her very protective brother. He can't help himself though from falling for his beautiful fake fiancรฉe, even if he isn't sure she'll ever let down her walls enough for him to have her heart. She has secrets he wants to know, a past he can tell hurts her even now.


These two had my heart from the first page. I knew Jules' story was going to be good, and boy is it. She's such a contradiction - strong and tough, a badass woman successful in a typically male dominated field, but with scars on her soul from men who don't deserve to even be in the same room as she. That's why Colt is so perfect for her. He has his own scars, and knows he shouldn't feel the way he does for his best friend's sister. But he should have known Jameson would only cheer them on, because Colt's become the man Jules deserves. I think this my favorite story by Julia yet, and Jules and Colt are definitely my favorite couple of hers. And now I'm anxiously waiting for the next hockey couple to fall in love - I know they're gonna set my Kindle on fire!

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
