Tropes: brother’s best friend, friends to lovers, marriage of convenience, marriage pact, he’s been secretly in love with her for years, forced proximity, my wife, pro hockey
My plan when I win a date in Vegas with my brother’s hockey star best friend? Poker and go to sleep early. Instead, I wake up with a ring on my finger and the sexy athlete naked in my bed.
But Asher’s my best friend too so we’ll get this annulled
and laugh about this secret for years to come.
Trouble is our wedding pics went viral overnight.
Now everyone thinks we’re a real couple. We race back home,
where I’ve just landed the big art commission of my dreams and he’s launching a
sports charity so we need to look like we meant to tie the knot.
Easy enough. We’ll claim we’ve been secretly in love, while
staying in separate rooms for the rest of the hockey season.
The last thing either one of us wants is to ruin a
decade-long friendship by falling into bed again.
But I experience a new side of my husband at home. He cooks
for me, encourages me…and buys me so many toys.
And, it’s more fun to share your toys with a friend.
We’re just enjoying temporary marital benefits.
Except, the more times he calls me his wife, the more I
start to wonder if Asher was ever pretending?
And if my heart is ready to take the biggest risk of all.
My Thoughts: Listening
to this book was wonderful. The
narrators were new to me and I enjoyed listening to their voices. They are not on my very short list of
narrators that I will search for just to hear them read to me again. I felt as I listened that the characters
were alive and I was beside them in their lives. The Proposal Play is great listening. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys sports
romance, hockey loving, and spicy listening.
I have become a huge fan of hockey romance. The relationships between the players is spot
on, they have each other’s backs while also giving them grief about their miss
steps in life. While Asher is pretending
to be married to Maeve, his teammates call him out on all the ways that the
marriage is not fake.
Thank you to the author for a copy of the book in exchange
for my honest review.

READ THE EXCERPT:
It’s a soulful, lingering kiss that thrums deep in my bones. She’s soft in my arms, her breath gusting across her lips. A whimper crosses them too, and it sounds like a plea for more.
I want to swallow all her sounds, let them lead me on into the night.
Because they are not platonic.
They are not friendly.
They are unbearably sexy and needy.
Maeve Hartley tastes incredible, and this kiss rattles through my entire body, touching every damn corner of me. I don’t let go. As I kiss her more deeply, I’m struck with a cold, new clarity. It wasn’t merely affection I felt all along. It wasn’t simply lust either. It’s a whole lot more than basic attraction.
I’m wildly, annoyingly obsessed with my best friend.
Otherwise known as…my wife.
