Stay by Sarina Bowen, Elle Kennedy

Stay (Wags, #2)

by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy

Can you fall for someone you've never met?

Hailey Taylor Emery has a hunch that her favorite client at Fetch--an anonymous virtual assistant service--is actually hockey star Matt Eriksson.

Although it's against the rules for her to check his file, she's 95% sure she spends at least part of each day texting with her lifelong crush and catering to his every need. Still nursing a wounded heart thanks to her recent breakup, Hailey is perfectly content with some harmless online flirting...until she has to meet her client. Face to face. Cue: utter panic.

Matt Eriksson is no stranger to heartbreak. He's still not over the destruction of his marriage, and it sucks to be the only guy on the team who knows the truth--that hockey and long-term relationships are a toxic mix. He barely sees his kids, and dealing with his ex makes him feel insane. The only person in his life who seems to understand is someone who won't show her pretty face.

But it's nothing that a pair of fourth row hockey seats can't fix. Hailey can't resist the offer. Matt can't resist Hailey. Good thing he doesn't have to. Fire up the kiss cam!

Warning: Contains rabid hockey fans, misunderstood dick pics, hockey players at the opera and exploding ovaries.

I love Sarina Bowen. I love Elle Kennedy. I love them together!

It was sort of fun, that Hailey's favorite client ended up being her superstar crush, and their meet-cute was fun too. The way she stumbled around Matt when they first meet face-to-face was sort of adorable, but what I really enjoyed was their interaction and the positive effect they had on one another. Each watched their marriages fail, and both were sort of blaming themselves for the dissolution of their relationships. Therefore, seeing them succeed in a romantic situation was very pleasing for me.

Other Things I Liked
• The twins
• The WAGs sisterhood (I want more of this!)
• The dog
• Low drama
• Redemption of sorts for several characters
• The ending

This was was fun and sweet and swoony and sexy, and it left me in a good mood. I am kind of sad there aren't more books in this series, because it seemed like they were hinting at something the OC and the new skating coach. Maybe it can still happen?
