BLURB ➞
The first time I met Max Yearwood was on a blind date.
Max was insanely gorgeous, funny, and our chemistry was off the charts. He also had the biggest dimples I’d ever laid eyes on.
Exactly what I needed after my breakup.
Or so I thought…
Until my real date arrived.
Turned out, Max wasn’t who I was there to meet. He only pretended to be until my real date showed up.
To say I was disappointed would be an understatement.
Before he left, he slipped me a ticket to a hockey game a few blocks away, in case things didn’t work out on my actual date.
I tossed the ticket into my purse and went about trying to enjoy the man I was supposed to meet.
But my real blind date and I had no connection.
So on my way home, I decided to take a chance and stop by the game.
When I arrived, the seat next to me was empty.
Disappointed again, I decided to leave at the end of the period.
Just before the buzzer, one of the teams scored, and the entire arena went crazy.
A player’s face flashed up on the Jumbotron. He was wearing a helmet, but I froze when he smiled.
You guessed it: Dimples.
Apparently, my fake blind date hadn’t invited me to watch hockey with him, he’d invited me to watch him play.
And so began my adventure with Max Yearwood.
He was everything I needed at the time—fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months since he’d signed with a new team three-thousand miles away.
Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right?
Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.
“Magic, sweetheart,” he said. “We’re going to make magic.”
ARC REVIEW ➞
Georgia was supposed to be meeting a blind date. Max isn’t that date, yet he pretends to be until the real person shows up. A hockey game and a summer fling….that was all it was supposed to be, yet things get complicated.
I LOVED Max. I love that he isn’t the player type, he is actually super sweet, caring and very determined to get what he wants. His past was also heartbreaking and really explained a lot with who he is in the present as a person. The man is a saint. Georgia didn’t make things easy for him and well, her situation is a little complicated. Yet, Max was determined and he didn’t let that deter him from going after Georgia. Georgia…she took some time to like and the fact it took her so long to realize how perfect Max is for her. But her situation is a complicated one and one that I didn’t necessarily care for.
The moment they meet Max and Georgia have amazing chemistry. That chemistry and their connection only continue to grow the more time they spend together and the more they get to know each other. Their story isn’t an easy one and there are a lot of obstacles and secrets they need to overcome along the way.
If you’re looking for a slow burn ish, sports romance this is one to check out.
