Vancouver Wolves Hockey Book 3
He's a professional hockey player that lives on the edge. I prefer to play life by the rules.
I’m the personal assistant at a sports agency that no one notices.
Unless they need coffee.
I don’t like sports and I like professional athletes even less.
I’m indifferent to the mostly male clientele, except for one.
Mica “the savage” Petrov.
When it comes to wild antics, Mica is the biggest offender of them all.
He’s reckless, wild and carelessly charming.
I’m mortified that I find him attractive.
But it doesn’t matter because the guy hasn’t taken a second look at me.
Not once. In two years.
Mica's career jeopardizing situation requires drastic measures to be taken to keep him in the game.
He’s got money, I’ve got debt and my boss has a crazy idea.
Which is how I found myself stepping up to save him from himself.
But at what cost?
How long can I keep fighting my attraction? What ghosts from his past is he brawling with? All I know is that I need to defend my heart before this big defenseman steals it away. Can we win this game? Or is it too late for either of us?
My Review: Holy wow! This book has left me speechless. There is so much going on in this book and I don’t dare talk about any of it or I’m going to give away all the best parts of the story. Charlie and Mica are a perfect pairing and I loved watching them fight their attraction. Fake relationship stories are some of my favorite types of stories simply because you know that no matter how hard the leading couple try to deny any real feelings, the love bug is going to bite them in the end. And learning Mica’s reasons for being so resistant to the marriage left me nearly in tears. I thoroughly enjoyed all the drama and tension in this book, and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next one. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
