Stephanie Queen has a talent for spinning familiar tropes in creative ways that keep me involved in the story. Finn and Vivvie are a great ‘bad boy’ and ‘good girl’ pairing, brought together in a fake engagement arrangement to try and save him from a vendetta by a married woman whose advances he had spurned. They are both characters with powerful reasons for having developed their respective personalities. I never give spoilers, but I will give a heads up that Finn recounts very disturbing behav...

I loved every minute of this bad boy fake fiancee sports romance that kept me glued to the book from the first word to the last, sitting on the edge of my seat and hanging onto every word. I really liked Finnegan Reed, bad boy goalie for the Boston Brawlers who needs to rehabilitate his image or be traded, and enjoyed his dynamic with the other characters, especially nerdy team intern Vivian Frost who volunteers to be his fake fiancee while the team tries to win the Stanley Cup. Ms. Queen knows

I’ve always been a sucker for the fake relationship theme. You just know that no matter how hard our leading couple are trying to resist each other, the chemistry is going to take over and things are going to get a lot more “real” than either of them were expecting. Finn and Vivvie are no exception to this. There’s some drama and angst in this book, but overall, it’s a remarkably sweet story. Vivian is a bit of a Pollyanna, and Finn is the king of jerk-like behavior, but it’s pretty clear that t...

I really enjoyed reading this book. Finn and Vivvie are thrust into a fake fiancée relationship after he’s accused by the team owners wife of making inappropriate suggestions. It’s all a lie but in order to save his reputation, drastic steps need to be taken. The story delves into Finns background and his relationship with his mother, whom he has no time for. Vengeance is served and Finn is absolved but not before there is a little bit of a angst. Well written book with great characters.

I received a free ARC from Hidden Gems for the promise of an honest review. It was good. Finn is emotional closed off hockey goalie. He is this way because of his mother who he is estranged from. Vivian is a soft spoken yet feisty intern for the Boston Brawlers. When Finn finds himself in need of public image makeover, Vivian volunteers to be play his fake fiancée. Being in close proximity, the line gets blurred.Both Finnanf Vivian are likeable characters. The book is written well. It is a great...

This was a great love story, it had intrigue, drama, angst, and passion.

In Vivvie’s defense she went into this doing her job...keep up appearances as Finn’s fiancé to dispel the bad publicity that was falsely reported about him. Sounds easy right?

I read this book in a boxed set. Amazing storyline. Loved Vivvie and Finn. Lots of feels with a great dose of hot and sexy. Highly recommend. Can't wait for the next instalment in the Boston Brawlers.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. This is the 3rd book in the Boston Brawlers Hockey romance series. Each book can be read as a standalone. This is a fake fiancee romance with a HEA ending.Finn learned from a young age that you can't trust woman. They will do anything to get what they want and a scorned woman is even worse. That's how he finds himself, the ultimate bachelor, engaged to be married.Vivvie is a quiet mousy girl that loves everything hockey. She has just landed he...

Finn and Vivvie’s love story was an unexpected one yet expected from the start. Finnegan Reed is the most eligible bachelor in Boston, with an ego to match and absolutely no time for feelings as he’s on a race to win the Stanley Cup with the Boston Brawlers. That is until Sherry Boylston lays her eyes (and hands) on him as her next young victim. When Finn insults Sherry with his rejection, she’s out for blood (or at least him off the team that her more than powerful husband, Edwin Boylston), has...

He needs to clean up his image, she just needs to keep her heart out of it. Some things can't be faked. Will he realize what is in front of him before its to late?Have to say I thought these two were a good fit. I loved how she put herself out there and was who she was. I didn't blame him for being scared, but loved seeing him slowly allowing himself to be healed. Good read!

Will it all work out for them or will they both crash and burn. Omg I love this book and series so much with all...

For being a mild hockey fan I really enjoyed this book. Finn definitely fit the role of a hockey player from my limited experience😀, hunky somewhat arrogant and yet had a soft side. Considering his childhood, he has that buried but Vivvie brings that out in him. Having dealt with people from that type of background, I understand his actions and his reluctance to let anyone beyond the barrier he has built around his heart. Vivvie is a sweet girl with a bit of a wild side she did not know she had

Another fantastic hockey romance book. The characters and story were well written. Finn is such a lovable guy. So glad he got his HEA with Vivvie
