Trace Coulter has been in love with Lena Hartwell since high school.

The problem? She dated his brother for a year, blamed Trace when it all fell apart, and hasn't spoken to him since. Now he needs a fake girlfriend to salvage his NHL draft prospects, and Lena is the only woman who won't fall for his family name or his pretty face. She's also the one woman he swore he'd never touch.

When Lena agrees to the arrangement in exchange for help with her mother's medical bills, she expects awkward hand-holding and a few staged photos. What she doesn't expect is the way Trace still looks at her like she's the only person in the room. Or the way his touch ignites feelings she's spent three years trying to bury. But when his brother discovers their arrangement, the truth threatens to destroy everything they've built. Can Trace prove his feelings are real before Lena walks away for good?

Find out in Pucking Irresistible, a steamy college hockey romance featuring forbidden attraction, fake dating that becomes all too real, and a hero who's loved her from afar for far too long.

MY REVIEW


Trace and Lena used to be friends, until they weren't. She started dating his brother, and when she and his brother broke up, it somehow became his fault. And she's hated him ever since. But now she's in a fake dating arrangement with him and Trace is going to use this time to make sure she knows how he really feels, how he's always felt. And he will make sure their fake relationship becomes the real one he's always wanted.


Lena is starting to remember just why she and Trace used to be best friends. Their natural chemistry is on display now that they're faking a relationship that benefits them both. But is it really fake? She's realizing she doesn't want it to be fake - her feelings for Trace now are just an extension of what they've always been - attraction and something a lot like love.


Trace is so down bad for Lena, and he couldn't have been more sweet about it. Lena was understandably wary, considering what Trace and his asshole brother had put her through, but eventually, his determination and their feelings had her opening back up to him. I love their slow burn that didn't do a good job of disguising their strong physical connection that was equaled only by their emotional bond. Lena and Trace made for a great start to a new series, now I'm really excited for the next of Trace's teammates to fall in love.

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...

Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings. Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. 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...
