About this eBook

I didn’t plan on dating a hockey player. It just kind of happened. 

At least that’s what I’m telling everyone. Except maybe I did plan it. Maybe it wasn’t a coincidence at all…

Jasper Greyson is hot, flirty, and the epitome of trouble. 

But he’s off-limits. He’s my sister’s brother-in-law, or at least he’s about to be, which kind of makes us family.

I should be staying as far from him as possible, except I like hanging out with him, watching him on the ice, and grabbing drinks with him and the guys. 

Yes, I intentionally showed up when I knew he’d be at the bar because he posted it on social media. I’ve been stalking him.

I keep telling myself it’s a harmless crush. Feelings don’t have to be acted on.

We’re friends. I’m not sure he’ll ever see me as anything else. That’s problem number one. I’ve been friend-zoned.

Problem number two. My apartment complex caught fire, and I don’t have insurance. I have nowhere else to go.

And when Jasper finds out, he insists that I stay at his place, in his guest room. Stalking my crush online is one thing. Living with him is entirely something else.

This steamy rom-com hockey romance contains no cheating and no cliffhanger. It features characters from Faking it with the Billionaire but can be read as a standalone. HEA.

Ratings and reviews

This is book two of the series but can be read as a standalone. I loved this book. Amber and Jasper are just the cutest. You could feel the connection from the first moment they met. This is a slow burn, but it is steamy hot, the build up, tension and banter is perfection. Just reading how Jasper restrains Amber with his hands will have wanting to re-enact the scene. Jasper is a gentlemen, passionate, caring and jealous. Amber is 20, innocent with men and relationships, she is persistent, independent, fun and a little insecure. These two are only 20 and 21 and they act like it, but it is done in a way that endears you to them. It feels like everyone is against thier relationship, and they try everything to friend zone each other, but let's be honest, these two were never just friends. Kyler (Jasper's brother) and Em (Amber's sister) are the couple from the first book. I loved them and Thier story but they were overbearing and a little annoying in this book. Although Em and Amb

This was such an enjoyable read. I thought the story was really fun, and I loved the elements of "We probably shouldn't go there" and "The Friend Zone & Bro Code" angst. When paired with the undeniable chemistry, intense emotions and sizzling sparks that fill this book it made Jasper and Amber’s romance irresistible.

I absolutely loved this book! As a hockey fan I was excited to read Jasper and Amber's story. It was packed with drama, humor, jealousy and plenty of steam. Amber is a 20 year old college student that meets the hunky pro hockey player when he rescues her from a bad date. Jasper has dedicated his life to hockey and making the NHL. He doesn't have time for a relationship. Jasper and Amber are both surprised when they realize Amber's sister is engaged to Jasper's brother Kyler. As they spen
