The Friend Face Off: A Sweet Small Town Hockey Romcom

Getting involved with your brothers best friend is risky enough. But when he's a hockey player? It's a whole new level of bad idea.

As a ravenous reader, Ive got a secret: Im obsessed with hockey romances.

But let me tell you, real life hockey players are nothing like my book boyfriends.

So I threw down the gauntlet on BookTok. I challenged any single guy out there to prove me wrong. Can a real hockey player be as romantic as the ones in my favorite stories?

Enter Dawson Hayes, a goalie with a point to prove and my brothers best friend. Hes confident he can win me over and take me on the most romantic date of my life.

But theres a catch: for me to accept, I have to pretend that hes my fake boyfriend.

And while hes unfairly gorgeous, hes also my brothers teammate and his best friend.

Keeping him in the fake boyfriend zone is the only way to deal with my secret attraction.

Turns out, the line between fake and real isn't just blurry, its become impossible to tell the difference when he looks at me with those eyes that say, Youre mine.

The first time I met Emmy, her brother warned me to stay away. As hockey teammates, that made her totally off-limits.

Now Im back in Emmys small town to play hockey, and I cant resist her dating challenge: to find out if any man can be more romantic than the book boyfriends she adores.

Emmy and I are both fiercely competitive, and Im determined to win her over.

When the moment of truth comes, the chemistry between us turns into something neither of us expected:
A romantic face-off between friends who are insanely attracted to each other.

Now, Im out to prove to her that you should never judge a book by its coveror a hockey player when it comes to love.
