BLURB

NHL Boston Hawks captain Austin Merrick used to be my boy-next-door. Now, he’s the man on my mind.

Our paths haven’t crossed in over a decade when I find myself back in Boston, desperate to save face in front of my ex-fiancé. With a devilish smirk and wicked blue eyes, Austin steps back into my life to be my plus one for a summer filled with weddings and events.

Should be fun and effortless, right?

Then why the need for rules?

And why do I crave his touch at the small of my back and wish for his kiss on a moonlit beach?

Suddenly, things begin to feel complicated, messy, and real. When I look at my first friend, I don’t see the boy-next-door, but the man I want to spend forever with.

If Austin learns the depth of my feelings, will he give us a real chance? Or are some rules better left unbroken?


REVIEW
Rating: ☆☆☆☆

Although this is the fourth in the series, it can be read as a standalone but it is so much more fun to discover the couples in order. Here we have the team captain Austin taking his turn at falling in love. 

Chloe, former girl-next-door, returns home to rebuild her life after catching her ex-fiancée in bed with her now former best friend. With a summer of events ahead of her where her path will keep crossing with them, she needs some cover. Enter Austin who is the perfect choice - successful, famous and incredibly sexy. So begins a summer of a fake relationship that quickly turns into something more. 

Austin is the guy that keeps everyone in line and following the rules. His life is dedicated to his team and there wasn't much room for anything else until Chloe enters his life again. Chloe is more embarrassed and angry about what happened than anything else. Being betrayed by one person she trusted is bad enough but two. The ways she handles her interactions with them is pure class. 

This has been a great series and this has been a great addition to it. I loved the way that they complement each other and there was definite chemistry between them.
