About THE FLIRTING GAME
Revenge was the plan. Falling for the hockey star next door wasn’t.


My new neighbor is a hot, grumpy hockey player who works out shirtless on his porch every morning. But it’s not technically spying if I just happen to be on my patio at the same time … right?

Imagine my surprise when the sexy grouch turns out to be the client who just hired me to redecorate the house he’s giving his mom.

What’s a ray of sunshine like me to do? Pretend I’ve never noticed his abs while we pick out furniture—since I’d never date a client. And Ford’s made it clear this is his final season, and he wants zero distractions.

Which means I need to exercise some serious resistance …

To his cool blue eyes that track my every move.
To that deep voice that makes me shiver.
And to the mouth that shuts me up one night in our shared backyard with a scorching kiss.

We agree it’s a one-time slip-up—until my cheating ex invites me to a party, and Ford insists on being my revenge date. Our fake night out turns into a very real sleepover.

Now the press and fans think we’re a couple, so we keep it up. One fake date at a charity gala turns into another at a hockey game, and somewhere between fabric swatches and porch picnics, I stop pretending.

But how do I convince Ford that with me, he can have both love and hockey?

Tropes: Neighbors to lovers, hockey romance, workplace romance, revenge fake dating, romantic comedy. This is Ford and Skylar's romance!

MY REVIEW


Skylar's crashing at her brother's place while she gets her eco design business off the ground, when his hot, grumpy yoga practicing, yellow shorts wearing neighbor and she have a doggy meet cute that doesn't exactly leave him with a great first impression of her and her adorable dog Simon. But when she gets a job decorating his mom's house, all bets are off for this fake dating couple who are developing very real feelings for each other.


Ford's got a serious regimen for his life, for his passion - hockey. He has to center himself and focus, so he does things like yoga, when his new neighbor and her obnoxious dog whirl their way into his life. He tells himself he doesn't like Skylar, but he does, a lot. They're fake dating, but feeling a lot like something real.


Ford and Zamboni and Skylar and Simon are hilarious and adorable opposites with spicy chemistry. She upsets his focus with her sunshiney personality, her dog bonds with his, and she makes him realize he indeed can not only have a great last season of hockey but can also have a happy, committed relationship at the same time. Lauren's hockey love stories are some of my favorite, and I'm going to miss this series, but she picked a great couple to close out Love and Hockey with.

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!
