Blurb
Welcome to Rebel, Louisiana—where the humidity feels personal, even the otters hold grudges, and chaos is a competitive sport.
I used to play hockey in sold-out arenas. Now my wrecked knee and I are stuck in a little bayou town that’s been mad at me for a year. I need a big comeback–and ZERO drama.
So first thing, I get tackled at the airport by a sunshiny woman in yellow overalls who’s thwarting my kidnapping… by her grandpas.
That’s Nora Delaune—Parks & Rec director, caffeine-powered menace, and the only person in Rebel willing to give me a chance. She needs me to win games and help save the town’s ice arena before it gets turned into a laser-tag nightmare.
And I… kind of like being needed by her. Even when she’s producing a singing, dancing, wig-wearing ice extravaganza that is definitely not hockey.
Then my sister—the team’s new owner—drops the bomb: if Nora and I “date,” the town might stop hating me. Fine. We’ll fake it. As long as we don’t call it love.
But between late-night practices, the sugar-addicted swamp-werewolf mascot, otter drama, and the way Nora looks at me like I’m worth rooting for…I’m in trouble.
I came to Rebel to rebuild my career.
I didn’t expect to lose my heart doing it.

MY REVIEW
Alex is stuck in this tiny Louisiana town rehabbing from a career ending injury, trying to get the town of Rebel to stop hating him. That's where the town sunshiney sweetheart comes in. He and Nora will be fake dating, but the fake part starts feeling far too real in short time. From some crazy version of hockey to the town voting on what (who) they hate most, Alex is starting to find himself not just being welcomed here, but being loved. Is it possible to fall in love in a short time, with not just this quirky town, but with his fake date too?
I can't tell you how much I loved chaotic ray of sunshine Nora and her opposite, likes routine Alex. They really are like Parks & Rec meets a crazy version of hockey, but even funnier, cuter, and with swoony worthy moves. Being back in Erin's small town Louisiana world, with all her quirky residents, is like walking into a big hug. I can't wait for more "bonkers hockey" and bayou love now.
