About THE PROPOSAL PLAY

My plan when I win a date in Vegas with my brother’s hockey star best friend? Poker and go to sleep early. Instead, I wake up with a ring on my finger and the sexy athlete naked in my bed.

But Asher’s my best friend too so we’ll get this annulled and laugh about this secret for years to come. Trouble is our wedding pics went viral overnight.

Now everyone thinks we’re a real couple. We race back home, where I’ve just landed the big art commission of my dreams and he’s launching a sports charity so we need to look like we meant to tie the knot.

Easy enough. We’ll claim we’ve been secretly in love, while staying in separate rooms for the rest of the hockey season.

The last thing either one of us wants is to ruin a decade-long friendship by falling into bed again.

But I experience a new side of my husband at home. He cooks for me, encourages me…and buys me so many toys.

And, it’s more fun to share your toys with a friend.

We’re just enjoying temporary marital benefits.

Except, the more times he calls me his wife, the more I start to wonder if Asher was ever pretending?

And if my heart is ready to take the biggest risk of all.

READ THE EXCERPT
It’s a soulful, lingering kiss that thrums deep in my bones. She’s soft in my arms, her breath gusting across her lips. A whimper crosses them too, and it sounds like a plea for more.

I want to swallow all her sounds, let them lead me on into the night.

Because they are not platonic.

They are not friendly.

They are unbearably sexy and needy.

Maeve Hartley tastes incredible, and this kiss rattles through my entire body, touching every damn corner of me. I don’t let go. As I kiss her more deeply, I’m struck with a cold, new clarity. It wasn’t merely affection I felt all along. It wasn’t simply lust either. It’s a whole lot more than basic attraction.

I’m wildly, annoyingly obsessed with my best friend.

Otherwise known as…my wife.

MY REVIEW


Maeve is not about to allow her best friend to be tricked into a relationship with a vampire like the woman who's planning on bidding on him in this auction for charity. So she and her brother (Asher's other best friend) come up with a plan for her to bid on him instead. And then that leads somehow to a Vegas wedding. They could get it annulled but perhaps not. A marriage of convenience it is, considering what they're both getting out of it. Now how will this pair of best friends navigate a marriage pact that's feeling very real?


Asher's feelings for his best friend are changing. Or perhaps they've always been more than friendly. Either way, he's showing them, but not exactly detailing them, and now he's wondering how he can tell Maeve how he feels. He runs the risk of ruining their friendship if he tells her, but he's not sure how much longer he can pretend he's not madly in love with his best friend turned wife.


This, this is how you do friends to lovers! All the delicious heat, all the witty dialogue, all the love, and the easy familiarity that only longtime best friends have in their chemistry. But what sets Maeve and Asher apart from the rest is their heart. I absolutely adored the way these two loved each other, first as friends, then as lovers, all while taking care of each other in the sweetest of ways. I've been loving this hockey series, and with each couple, it gets better. Now I can't wait for Miles and Leighton's story up next, The Girlfriend Zone.

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!
