Recommendation
My new favorite type of hero is the gruff, surly, wants-to-be-alone hero until the heroine cracks open his cold, dead heart. *le sigh*
I just wanted to hug Zach and then make Fallon give him all the love and kisses he could handle. I love the Hartigan family, but Fallon and Zach’s romance is my favorite so far. I was smiling and laughing from the first chapter, watching Fallon give attitude right back at Zach, and showing him that some people give their word and keep it.
Excerpts
The anticipation was going to kill her dead before she ever got her hands back on the man. Her obit would read: Horny Nurse Done in By Hot Man's Zipper.
Who was he to strut around all naked and hot and be all bossy? That wasn't how she rolled. She was the one in charge. She made the calls. She fought the wars – and won.
"You're gonna come on my hand, and then I'm going to bury my dick in you while I lick the sweet taste of you from my fingertips."
Publisher synopsis
How exactly has one good deed landed me in the penalty box?
Ice Knights defenseman Zach Blackburn has come down with the flu, and my BFF—his PR manager—begs me to put my nursing degree to use and get him back to health. Of course she would call in a favor for the most hated man in Harbor City.
But when he’s finally on the mend and I’m sneaking out of his place, everything goes sideways. Paparazzi spot me and pictures, plus accusations that I slept with him, fly faster than a hockey puck.
At first, all of Harbor City wants my blood—or to give me a girlie-girl makeover. But then…the team finally wins a game. And now this fickle town wants me with the big jerk twenty-four seven.
Argh. I never slept with him the first time! But no one will listen. Then the grumpy bastard goes and promises to break his no-fan-appearances rule to help raise money for a free health clinic—but only if I’m rink-side at every game. That’s not a deal I can turn down.
But when the team keeps winning, and I realize there’s more to him than his bad reputation, suddenly remembering to keep my real hands off my fake date gets harder and harder to do.
Each book in the Hartigans series is STANDALONE.
