Description

The agreement is simple. He needs a fake girlfriend, and I need a safe place to stay.

But life is rarely simple. And living with the hot, growly Canadian hockey player who calls me his sweet little casserole in French is anything but safe.

When my father turns his rage on my little girl, I need to escape. But I’m broke, beaten down, and out of options. So when my best friend asks me to be Titus’s live-in fake girlfriend, I seize the crazy offer.

Titus, a.k.a. the Spartan, must convince a judge that he can provide an appropriate family environment for his toddler, and we get to stay in his sunny Palm Springs home and pretend to be a family. It’s the perfect arrangement–as long as we don’t end up in a Canadian jail.

But nothing goes according to plan. My quiet daughter starts to adore him, and we can't seem to control the explosive heat between us.

Could getting involved with Titus jeopardize his son's safety, and is running the only way to protect the people I love?

This book was so much fun! Coming back to Brannick's Palm Springs feels like coming home at this point, and again she delivers one of my favorite FMC and MMC pairings with Titus and Abby, I love these books.

In Thirsty Thursday, the banter between the couple was hilarious, their chemistry was palpable, and I loved how Brannick writes kids. It also may inspire me to try out a segsy subscription box, because those two had sooo much fun with it I was a little bit jealous.

This is my first book by J.L. Brannick, but when I read the blurb that this was a hockey romance, count me in! Luckily, this book was well, written and had a great pace to it. This book includes a triggering storyline of abuse, so please be aware of that. Also, there is a tremendous amount of sex in this book, so if you don't like that, you should also skip this one. With all of that said, I liked Titus and Abby, our main characters, but Titus was for sure my favorite. Unlike most romance books heroes, he was so open and honest with Abby about his feelings, which really helps this book because it is told in first person by Abby's POV. I'm not normally a fan of one POV, but because Titus was so open with Abby all of the time, it worked really well in this book. This was a 4.5 star book rounded up to 5 stars. Thank you NetGalley and J.L. Brannick for an advanced copy.
