"I need us to stay married, Big Guy."
Recently traded to the Chicago Rebels, hockey veteran Dylan “Banks” Bankowski is adjusting to what might be his last team and his final year in the NHL. That means taking care of his battered body while he strives for the one goal that’s managed to elude him: a championship ring. What he does not need is a visit from the woman to whom he gave a different kind of ring months ago.
His young, flighty, socialite wife.
Apparently, signing the annulment papers within a week of their quickie wedding in Vegas didn’t quite take, and now she’s back, right before the playoffs when he needs his focus most. Only this time she has a different request: let’s keep up the charade. He should say no, but he once said “I do” and surely that means something …
Georgia Goodwin has good reasons for wanting to keep her hockey player husband. Convincing the big lug to cooperate is the easy part. Not so easy? Ignoring the flutter in her chest when he grunts in jock, kisses her neck, or calls her wife. But it’s only for a few weeks, and as soon as the playoffs finish, so will they.
But the more time Georgia and Banks spend together, the more real their marriage feels. Less Vegas mistake, and more like the start of something amazing. They said goodbye once. Can they do it again … or will they figure out that a love this good is worth fighting for as much as that championship ring?
Tropes: Accidentally married, age gap, grumpy x sunshine, forced proximity, only one bed, fake kisses turned real, hockey player x Chicago socialite, big guy x petite gal, and “my wife” moments galore
Sexy, sweet and sentimental! In the next book in Kate Meader’s entertaining Rookie Rebels hockey series, we meet Banks and his quicky Vegas wife Georgia. I liked both of them to a degree, but she in particular was a bit underdeveloped. I wanted more in getting satisfaction from her parents, I wanted her to see that her friends were just using her, and most of all, I wanted more reminiscing on time with Dani. Banks was my very favorite! I loved his connection with his family and I loved how dedicated he was to aiming for that cup. A bit slow paced at first, but I really enjoyed their connection and watching them figure it all out in the end.
I recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who loves a close knit/family like group of hockey players who know how to live it up and support one another as they each fall hard for “the one”!
