Good things come in extra-large, smoking hot packages.Things like pizza. The very pizzas that I deliver for my dad’s restaurant, Peretti’s Pizza. It’s a temporary job, something to pay the bills until I graduate from school, but it does the trick. In fact, it’s working quite well until Ryan Pierce of the Minnesota Stars decides to order a pizza from me, and life as I know it turns upside down. … order a pizza from me, and life as I know it turns upside down.
You see, Ryan Pierce doesn’t just open his front door. He opens it buck naked. And suddenly, I’m not the one boasting the biggest, hottest package in the room. However, it’s what happens next that gives me butterflies whenever my phone beeps. Ryan starts to call, and then text, and then fifteen pizza deliveries and one fantastic night later, we’re friends with benefits.
So when he asks me to be his fake girlfriend at his brother’s wedding, I’m happy to help. But the longer we pretend, the more I worry that this is one package I might not be able to handle.

This was a cute, fun, and entertaining story. Ryan and Andi have beautiful chemistry, which made me root for them the entire time. I enjoyed this story.
The two characters and how the story developed was delightful. They were cute, interesting,fun, and perfect for each other. Really enjoyed the book.
I really liked this book and Ryan could possibly be my dream man!
The book is a really sweet cute funny feel good romance that warms your heart to the core.
It has a great meet cute involving a smiley face pizza, a gorgeous hockey player in a towel and a very flustered delivery girl!
The tropes are fake relationship, friends with benefits, forbidden romance and friends to lovers.
The only reason I am not giving the book a 5 star is that Andi annoyed me sometimes by continuing to say that they are just friends and that he didn’t mean that he liked her because why would he. Andi is a really strong, funny stubborn woman who goes after her dreams to become a comedian. She also goes to college for a degree so she has something to fall back on if the dream does not work and to earn money she works as a delivery girl for her fathers pizzeria.
I can definitely recommend this book if your in the mood for a fell good romance.
Ryan and Andi’s HEA tale of smiley face pizzas, a smitten hockey player, and a hilariously charming delivery girl is a winner! Andi is kind of a the worse delivery girl in the world – but to be fair if you showed up to deliver a pizza and the delivererees were knocking boots and then one of them answered the door in the a towel and it just so happens to be like the hottest guy in the world you might not handle it so gracefully either. But when he calls for another pizza she’s once again has to face these people… why her? When she gets there after somehow managing to crashing into his car, she is once again confronted with the hockey God (at least this time he’s fully dressed) and is baffled when he is not only delighted to see her but genuinely excited and wants to see more of her. Her Andi Peretti – pizza delivery girl, struggling comic, and future accountant. Ryan is in town hoping to take the transition from the a small pond to the big show. Unfortunately, that means he has to align himself with an agent with certain rules when it comes to single players and dating- as in don’t do it. For some crazy reason the Ice Queen has guidelines in place to keep her clients on the right track and keeping them “focused” and this is one of them. Ryan doesn’t really see this as an issue as he’s a freeagent as it were, but it still grinds his gears that this lady feels she can dictate his life. Ryan never expected that ordering a pizza would be so life altering until he opens the door and finds Andi standing on the other side. The funny, beautiful, and smart Andi is everything you could possible want in a woman. She driven and has goals and understands that he too has things he wants to do. Why oh why did he have go and fall so hard so fast right now! Ryan will have to make a really hard choice – the big show or Andi. And to think he just wanted a sausage pizza!
The book was suggested to me on Amazon and for whatever reason, the title called to me. Yeah, the half naked guy in a towel also called to me, but mostly the title 😉
In a romance novel, I love it when the two characters have an adorable meet-cute, as well as the meeting being something unique and/or possibly never told before. I have read hundreds and hundreds of romance novels and I never once read one where the two characters meet by one of them being a pizza delivery person. This alone made me want to read it! And I’m glad I did, cause this book was awesome!
I’m amazed that it was the debut novel. It’s so well written, the character development is spot on and the HUMOR! This book is SO FUNNY! The meet-cute was hilarious and the next few times that they meet, were also laugh-out-loud funny!
The heroine has a unique dream (at least to romance novel heroines) of wanting to be a stand up comedian. My only critique of this book is that I wish that she had of written in some of Andi’s stand up jokes! She had two or three scenes of Andi having shows but she’d basically fade out and then fade back in after the show was over. Ms. Kate can obviously write comically so I would have liked to have had her write some actual scenes of the stand up comic doing stand up!
This is labeled as a sports romance, but the hero, who is a hockey player, never actually plays in the book as it’s off season. But that’s okay, as I didn’t need descriptions of him playing hockey. Ryan was a great hero. Almost Prince Charming perfect. Him and Andi were perfect together and the chemistry was making my kindle screen steam up!
There’s three sex scenes, not super descriptive but not tame either. There’s heavy petting and kissing described. Some swearing, but not an overwhelming amount (uses of the F word and Sh word used more than any other). No violence.
If you’re a fan of Penny Reid, R.S. Grey and Alice Clayton, I bet you’d enjoy Delivery Girl!
