Synopsis:
A chance meeting. A hunky hockey player. A fake romance.
Hardly an ordinary day in the life of Poppy Hart.
My days usually consist of agonizing over my failing restaurant, worrying about my mountain of debt and nursing my broken heart.
Everything changes when I bump into a man in the coffee shop and claim him as my new boyfriend. To my absolute horror, he turns out to be hockey’s most renowned bad boy, Dallas Burke. To my absolute delight, he goes along with my story.
When his no-nonsense manager and meddling grandmother jump in the picture, they see a win-win solution for my failing restaurant and Dallas’s less-than-stellar reputation.
A full-fledged fake romance complete with contract negotiations, pretend dates and phony PDA.
But as I get to know the real Dallas Burke, who is not the man the press says he is, it becomes clear that if this isn’t real. . . someone better tell it to my heart.
My Review: 5 Stars
Oh my heart! Guys... get ready for all the feels in this one! And I mean All. The. Feels! Once I started this book, there was no turning back. I was hooked!
Poppy and Dallas are perfection! Oh how I adored these two! I loved watching their relationship grow from friendship into love. I quickly fell in love with these two and found myself rooting them on from the very beginning. They both had things in their past that haunted them and held them back from finding love. But if ever two souls belonged together, it would be these two. They balanced each other out and were there for each other during the hard times. Their HEA was absolutely beautiful!
Now lets take a moment to discuss the off the charts chemistry and swoony kisses. YOWZERS! It was hot, hot, hot! I may or may not have turned into a big ol' pile of ooey gooey goodness. This girl had all the heart eyes and dreamy sighs for all things Poppy and Dallas. I seriously did not want this book to end!
Y'all know how much I love me some amazing side characters and this book was full of them! Gram was probably my favorite. I loved her feistiness. She had me rolling at times. Everyone needs a Gram in their life! I also adored the relationship Poppy had with her sisters. I can't wait to read their stories!
This is my first book by Ms. Walsh and it definitely won't be my last. I was so engrossed in the book that I didn't even realize I was doing the same thing the characters were doing. I found myself getting teary-eyed, laughing out loud, giggling, and letting out all kinds of little dreamy sighs. I love when an author can make me feel like I am right there with the characters, listening to them tell me their story. And she had me doing just that. I can't wait to dive into more of her books!
As for my casting. Y'all. I just can't with how much I love these two! What do you think?
