Release Date: 22 May 2017
When the family dog trots in with my diaphragm in its mouth—in front of my date, his parents, and his adorable little girl—you would think I’d hit rock bottom.
WRONG.
Let’s back this up a sec…
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, 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.
WRONG.

My Opinion 5 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
Lili Valente has knocked another puck out of the ice rink with this book, it had me crying, laughing and routing for both of our main characters to get their happy ever after.
Although this is the second book in the series, it can be read as a stand alone even if we were introduced to the characters in the first book.
Brendan is sweet and loyal to what his daughter needs, but has gone without companionship for the last two years, it is only the thought of losing his little girl that spurs him on further to find someone to share his heart and his bed.
Laura has a very soft spot for Brendan's daughter and is the sister of Libby who found her happy ending his book one with their best friend. Laura is the PR guru for the ice hockey team that Brendan plays for and has always thought that he was good looking, he has just been really grumpy and unwilling to cooperate in the PR.
These characters were a good laugh and i will never forget the moment the dog comes in with her contraceptive.
A lough out loud book!
