Cocktails and Books

This was my first foray into a Lili Valente book. The hockey aspect intrigued me, but it was quirky Shane and lovable Jake that kept me turning pages until the very end.
Shane and Jake had both been burned in previous relationships, Jake especially so since he hires Shane to be his fake girlfriend. But they soon discover their fake relationship is very real as they can't seem to stay on script. Despite both saying they didn't want a relationship, that's exactly what they find themselves in.
I really enjoyed how these two interacted with one another. They could laugh one minute and be serious the next. You could tell they were quickly becoming the others best friend. I enjoy those kinds of romances, where you can just sit back and watch the hero and heroine find their other half.
I could have done without the part of the storyline that led to Jake hiring Shane to play his pretend girlfriend. In my opinion, this was the weakest part of the book and took away from my Shane and Jake time.
I'll definitely be going back to the beginning of this series. I'm interested in seeing how the other couples came to their HEA.
