About this ebook

How exactly has one good deed landed me in the penalty box?

Ice Knights defenseman Zach Blackburn has come down with the flu, and my BFF—his PR manager—begs me to put my nursing degree to use and get him back to health. Of course she would call in a favor for the most hated man in Harbor City.

But when he’s finally on the mend and I’m sneaking out of his place, everything goes sideways. Paparazzi spot me and pictures, plus accusations that I slept with him, fly faster than a hockey puck.

At first, all of Harbor City wants my blood—or to give me a girlie-girl makeover. But then...the team finally wins a game. And now this fickle town wants me with the big jerk twenty-four seven.

Argh. I never slept with him the first time! But no one will listen. Then the grumpy bastard goes and promises to break his no-fan-appearances rule to help raise money for a free health clinic—but only if I’m rink-side at every game. That’s not a deal I can turn down.

But when the team keeps winning, and I realize there’s more to him than his bad reputation, suddenly remembering to keep my real hands off my fake date gets harder and harder to do.

Ratings and reviews

Perfect if you are looking for a cute sports rom-com. Fallon Hartigan is a nurse. She is roped into helping Ice Knights defenseman Zach Blackburn when he gets a dose of the flu by her BFF. They have already met but she found him rude and obnoxious. Plus, as a rabid fan, she like most of Harbor City hates his guts because since he joined the team he has played really badly. Zach doesn't trust anyone, he has no friends, not since his parents and so-called managers swindled him out of most of his money and took out loans at terrible rates in his name. Now he's paying down a mountain of debt, reliant on the Knights to pay for his accommodation and unwilling to trust anyone. As a reluctant thank you for looking after him while he was ill Zach gives Fallon rink-side seats for his next game - and the Kings win! Now, because all hockey players are rabidly superstitious, the press are dubbing her 'Lady Luck' and Zach wants her at all his home games. So they strike a deal, Fallon will watch his games if he makes some personal appearances at fund-raisers for a local charity that Fallon supports. This was funny and sweet and full of grumpy hockey players, loud families, snark and hockey. I loved it just as much as the first two books in the series.

It's good. But I absolutely hate it when the author makes the girl work for the relationship. He was too weak, he wasn't a strong Male character. Hell Fallon had more balls than he did and she wasn't even a man

Loved, Loved, Loved!! All the yumminess that is Zack Blackburn makes this a great read. Add in the banter, humor, and the amazing character of Fallon and you have a story you won't soon forget! Originally Fallon is just doing a favor for a friend by helping Zack get healthy again. Then she finds herself caught up in a fan frenzy as Harbor City dubs her Zack's Lady Luck! All the characters in this series are fun with lots of sass and snark. They feel like people you want to call friends. Each of these books has interconnected characters but each can easily be read standalone. I definitely recommend this one. It's a must read.
