Review
Rating: 4.5*
Enemies to lovers - pretend lovers - sports romance all bundled into one. This brought has brought some of my favourite elements together into one book.
Sam Stone is home with his tail between his legs after risking his hockey playing career on a bad play. He is sidelined from the sport he loves and may never get a chance to play again. His mother sends Elizabeth to check up on him. Elizabeth has always kind of hated Sam. He wrecked her pink playhouse and her dad was more interested in Sam than his own daughter.
Sam has lost touch with the reasons he loves his job so much but Elizabeth shows him the humility in helping those around him and not being selfish. Whilst Elizabeth is taken advantage of because of her kind nature, particularly her own family. Yet with Sam, she is fiery, passionate and stands up herself. These two are really good for each other, if only they can get over the past and recognise the genuine chemistry between them. I loved the buzz and interactions between these two, particularly the power and confidence it brought out in Elizabeth. I could not get on board with her selfish family and the way that they take advantage of her. Elizabeth wants to be loved and appreciated.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the ups and downs it presents you with. Some fantastic writing and really fun and characters you can relate to.

Author Bio
Born British and raised in South Africa, Sarah Hegger
suffers from an incurable case of wanderlust. Her match? A hot Canadian
engineer, whose marriage proposal she accepted six short weeks after they first
met. Together they’ve made homes in seven different cities across three different
continents (and back again once or twice). If only it made her multilingual,
but the best she can manage is idiosyncratic English, fluent Afrikaans,
conversant Russian, pigeon Portuguese, even worse Zulu and enough French to get
herself into trouble.
Mimicking her globe trotting adventures, Sarah’s career path
began as a gainfully employed actress, drifted into public relations, settled a
moment in advertising, and eventually took root in the fertile soil of her
first love, writing. She also moonlights as a wife and mother. She currently
lives in Ottawa, Canada, filling her empty nest with fur babies. Part footloose
buccaneer, part quixotic observer of life, Sarah’s restless heart is most
content when reading or writing books.
