Description
From the no. 1 international bestselling author of Better than the Movies, childhood sweethearts reunite in a hockey-loving town where romance is about to heat up the ice. *Pre-order now!*
From play dates on the playground to sneaking into movie theatres, Dani and Alec were inseparable as kids. Until Dani moved away. Years later, Dani is back in Minnesota, and exited to reconnect with the nerdy and comforting Alec. But teenage Alec is NOTHING like the boy she remembers. He's the hockey STAR in a town where hockey players are worshipped as gods – and he loves it.
When one thing leads to another and Dani and Alec find themselves thrown together and playing the role of boyfriend and girlfriend, “complicated” becomes an understatement. In this Minnesota town, hockey may rule, but romance is about to take its place.
A swoony, boy-next-door fake dating romance from the New York Times bestseller, Lynn Painter.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for approving me to read this, I’m rating it 4.25 stars.
I am a Lynn Painter fan for life because whatever she puts in these books just do something special for me.
This is a heart warming friends to lovers romance with a second chance twist. I adore this tight knit community vibe where everyone seemed to be reconnecting which leads to our main characters reuniting and it’s TENSE. There’s banter and sports with a simmering tension between our pair that turns into something really special and completely worth the wait.
