Will this fake date become their first-and forever-win?

Duffy loves three things: her dad, her cat, and Minneapolis Coyotes football. So she's devastated to become public enemy number one after shoving the team's mascot away for getting too flirty.

To clear her name, Duffy agrees to a live interview - only to discover she is sharing the screen with star player, Connor Cunningham. . .

Connor thought he was coming on TV to read a statement, not argue with a fan. But when their fiery banter leaves viewers obsessed, Connor's PR team spots an opportunity, and encourages Conor to ask Duffy out. The catch? She can't know it's not the real deal.

Different kinds of sparks soon fly between them. But Connor can't keep his secret forever. And if he drops the ball this time, he'll have lost more than just a game. . .

    Lynn Painter ist ein Garant für unterhaltsame Lesestunden. In diesem Buch greift sie aber auch einige ernste Themen auf und das mochte ich sehr. Auch wenn das Buch dadurch nicht ganz so leicht war, wie von ihr gewohnt. Auch dass Connor sich zuerst verliebt hat und die Art wie er Duffy umwirbt fand ich sehr süß. Dafür mochte ich die Art ihres Vaters und ihrer Brüder übergriffig und unsympathisch,auch wenn das glaube ich "lustig"sein sollte.
