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.

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...

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. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
