BLURB
The last thing I need is a wife. Especially if it’s one woman who can’t stand me.
I’m the bad boy of the NHL. The enforcer with a mean punch and bad attitude. The ladies don’t seem to mind and my stick is always ready to go. So, I have a few scandals. Who doesn’t?
Everything was fine until she clicked into my life with her hot pink Barbie heels. After one too many tabloid exploits, my career is in jeopardy, and she demands I clean up my act.
I can’t not say no. Even if I want to. The stakes are too great.
Turns out I’m not so good at behaving and even drag Miss Perfect into the mud when we wake up naked, hungover, and wearing matching wedding bands. But it’s one problem I can fix with an easy annulment. That is, until the press and her parents come knocking on our door.
Now, we have to pretend to like each other. Wouldn’t be too hard except I’m finding I like having her under my skin.
When this fake marriage gets checked, can I convince my wife I’m worth the risk?
She can be the ray of light in my darkness, just for tonight. I’ll try to hate her tomorrow.
ARC REVIEW
Rhett is known for causing trouble and is the bad boy of hockey, his career is also on the line at this point. Lucy works PR for the team and really she is in charge of making sure Rhett doesn’t create any more trouble. However, one thing leads to another and they ended up waking up together and married.
I felt for Rhett and everything he went to. He spent his life protecting everyone but himself and believing all the horrible things he heard growing up. He just doesn’t know how to open and doesn’t think there will be anyone to love him. Lucy is similar. She likes fixing things and really it is what makes her good at her job. She is also somewhat uptight. So her and Rhett really bring out different sides of each other.
You can feel the chemistry between the two of them from the start and I enjoyed seeing how their relationship progressed throughout the course of this story and seeing how they begin to let the walls down they have both built up around themselves.
The one thing that kind of bothered me throughout the story was the fact that Rhett kept referring to Lucy as a Barbie and a pink terrorist.
If you’re looking for a married in Vegas, fake relationship, enemies to lovers, sports romance check this one out.
