After fifteen years of tending goal for the Boston Rebels, I’m known for two things: the highest save percentage in the league, and never spending more than one night with the same woman.

I’m definitely not the guy you should trust with your best friend’s little sister. Especially not when that sister, Jules, is eight years younger and my new roommate.

When I witness her on the verge of a panic attack while being intimidated by another man, I don’t think twice about calling her my fiancée and kissing her. Which brings me to the third thing I’m known for: reckless and impulsive decision-making.

After a video of that steamy kiss goes viral, the whole world is convinced we’re engaged. If we don’t play along, I risk losing my place as the starting goalie for the Rebels, and Jules’s reputation and career could tank.

Our engagement may be fake, but the memories of the way she tastes, and the feel of her body wrapped around mine, are all too real. And the more time we spend together, the less it feels like pretending.

None of the secrets from my past seem to matter as much when I’m with her. It turns out, Jules may have some secrets of her own–and uncovering them just might be what heals me…or what finally breaks me.

Dual Narration by Stella Bloom & Connor Crais

• Hockey Romance • Brother’s Best Friend • Forced Proximity • Fake Engagement • Slow Burn • Age Gap • Reformed Playboy • Virgin FMC • She Falls First, He Falls Harder •

AMAZING! I LOVED IT! It's certainly long, but I really don't think a shorter book would have done them justice, especially with them both being unsure of the other's true feelings and their independence relationships with Jameson (Jules’s big bro & Colt’s best friend). Colt is definitely very swoony. So patient with Jules, and so observant and thoughtful. And the lack of pressure was superb. And Jules! Love her! Obsessed with her prickliness as a defense mechanism but also how much of a boss babe she is.

I love Jules’s character development. As the baby of the family, she’s determined to not be a burden and be helpful in whatever way she can. While others see the great value she brings, she doesn’t want the spotlight on her ever and that in turn makes it difficult for her to ask for help sometimes. Colt basically plants himself in her life and refuses to budge no matter how hard she might try to push him away.

The slow burn was so worth it and there were so many great tension filled moments leading up to it.

The audiobook was AMAZING!! The narrator did a fantastic job!

⚠️SPOILERS!⚠️

I really loved the way the stuff with his brother and sister-in-law became not a big deal because he's happy with Jules so he could finally move on. And the way Colt didn't ask Jameson for permission, just told him how it's going to be. Swoon!

What could be worse than having to live with your brother’s best friend, the man you’ve always crushed on? Maybe having to be fake engaged to said man. Jules knows this all too well. At the start of the story I was actually worried about how I was ever going to like Colt but Julia certainly made me do a 180 on my opinion about him! Colt & Jules have to deal with past feelings and hurt while also having to live together and fake a relationship while in public. The more they pretend and share fake kisses, the more the lines blur and things start feeling real. I loved that it was very much a slow burn but you still get the tension and little pieces of them along the way. Their chemistry was strong whether it be in the bedroom or just their banter. They fit so perfectly.

Colt really went from playboy to the sweetest boyfriend and he claimed a spot on my book boyfriends list! I loved the things he did for Jules and the way he proved that he cared for her. Connor and Stella excelled at bringing these characters to life. Spectacular performances by them both. Such a fun audio to listen to.

Jules and Colt stole my attention from the start of this book and held it until the last page.

This best friend's sister, fake engagement, and unrequited love romance will have you loving them too!

Colt has been the typical hockey star, and I loved him for always just being who he is.
Jules is shy and standoffish. She loves hard but only those that are close to her. She keeps her guard up.

Stella Bloom and Connor Crais are two that I always enjoy listening to. I loved their narration of this book. The chemistry between the characters was read perfectly between these two. The tone of Connor and Stella is done so well that you will not be able to stop listening once you start. I could listen to these two all the time.

I absolutely LOVED IT!! The voice actors chosen added a whole new level to the characters, they were picked so perfectly. As for the story itself, I loved it. I always love brothers best friend troupes and the family dynamic with Jules and her big brother added a whole new level of protectiveness that I didn't know I needed. I loved them so much and the ending was beautiful.

Absolutely amazing

Delicious slow-burn romance packed with angst, longing, and just the right amount of heat. Jules and Colt—her brother’s best friend and longtime crush—are forced back into each other’s orbit after years of avoidance, thanks to a fake engagement that blurs every line. The tension builds beautifully as Colt’s protective nature and emotional growth collide with Jules’s guarded heart.

I especially loved the strong side characters and the unwavering family support around Jules—it added so much warmth to the story. The romance is sweet, emotional, and smolders quietly until it finally ignites toward the end.

The narration was outstanding. Both narrators were phenomenal at voicing multiple characters and delivering the emotional depth this story needed. Listening to this series on audio has been such a pleasure, and I can’t wait for the next release.
