A hot, hilarious Sexy Single Dad romance…Brendan Daniels is the sexiest man alive. The captain of the Badger’s NHL team is also clever, kind, funny, and was my good friend…until we cruised out of the friend zone one weekend with a red-hot fling. Come Monday morning, I wanted to keep riding the Big O train to happy town, but Brendan wanted someone who was “stepmom” material.A.K.A, not me, … material.
A.K.A, not me, apparently.
The problem? I’m crazy in love with him and his daughter. So when he asks me to be his pretend girlfriend for a long weekend with his former in-laws, I say yes. We’re still friends, after all, and friends don’t let friends fake it alone.
***
Laura Collins is the last woman I should be thinking about taking in the back seat of my car, in the woods behind my in-laws’ house, or in a hotel room where we’re sharing one very small, very squeaky bed.
I need a steady, stable influence for my daughter, not a fling with this too wild, too young, too impulsive red head. So what if she’s beautiful and intense and passionate and has the biggest heart I’ve ever known?
I don’t want to fall in love. I really don’t. The whole “pretend girlfriend” thing was supposed to solve my problems, buy me a little more time.
But when it comes to Laura?
Hell, maybe I’m just not cut out for faking it.

I read the previous book in this series, Hot as Puck, and loved it. I was happy to return to these fun characters and this book did not disappoint. Funny, sexy, happy, sad, and real.
This a second chance hockey romance with very steamy sex scenes. Brandon is a single dad and hockey player. Laura is the hockey teams PR person. Sweet and lovely characters.
fun read
I could not put this book down!!! Lili Valenti you never cease to amaze me with your ability to write a sweet and sexy, rom-com with some serious heat and chemistry mixed in to an awesome storyline! In fact I need new words to describe this one, maybe fantabulous, terrifastic, incrediful , wonderlicious!!!You get the picture!
I know I have a thing for single dad romance, especially if they are widowers too. It adds a certain vulnerability to a man that is very endearing and Brendan had me from the get-go! Sexy, gorgeous, funny but also a sweet, sensitive, responsible and amazing dad, always putting his daughter Chloe’s needs first. Laura, who works PR for the team, is one of his best friends, turned lover, turned back to friend, turned fake girlfriend. Turned………..I know sounds complicated right? It is but it is so worth the read! I love the fun, flirty, sexy banter between Brendan and Laura and their sexy times are hot! But I also love the way they both are with Chloe!! She is a little cutie with a sassy side.
This book has everything you love in a rom-com and again my hat is off to the master wordsmith Lili Valenti, for another 5 plus star read!!!
Holy Hockey sticks!!! This book was hawt plus some!! You know this is my first Lili Valente book I’ve read but it’s not going to be my last. I’ve already got the first book in this series, which btw are all stand alone’s, that I will be reading asap. And then patiently waiting for the third book in this series to come out!! I loved how this book started us out in the prologue of what happened before it set up the book perfectly. Then the dual pov’s and how you knew how Laura and Brendan both felt. You got to know the backstory and everything they had went through. There were moments that I was literally laughing out loud at this book and so hard I had tears. And Chloe was the icing on top on this perfect cake. The secondary characters also added just that extra bit to this story. I highly recommend this book!
