Blurb:
Wanted: one hot guy with rock-hard abs and a big stick
Broke and desperate, Sugar Ryan has no use for arrogant, bad boy athletes . . . until she’s forced to bargain with the cockiest of them all.
If only he knew she was alive.
Her mission? Get on this hockey player’s radar any way possible.
Zack Morgan is the king of the ice and the bedroom—but nothing prepares him for the mystery girl who shows up everywhere he does—frat parties, his favorite bar, and finally his front door with an offer he can’t refuse. The only rule in her boyfriend bargain: no falling in love.
But after one (um, two) smoking-hot hookups, he’s done with pretending and vows to make their fake relationship real. Too bad she can’t trust a player with a reputation for breaking hearts.
Will this hockey star score his forever girl or will their Boyfriend Bargain end in heartbreak?

Excerpt
“We should kiss, just get it out of the way and move on,” I say, sure of the crazy idea as each second passes.
There’s a hitch in Z’s breath, and his eyes go straight to my lips. “Works for me.”
“But just one. None of that fancy tongue work.”
“Afraid of falling in love with me?” He grins.
Well. My eyes take in the broad shoulders and the dragon tattoo on his muscled chest. He’s definitely my type: pure, grade A male hotness—exactly what I don’t need. “I won’t fall in love.”
Another grin. “Liar.”
My Thoughts <3
I absolutely loved this book! What an interesting concept to the fake dating scene. Which truth be told, I freaking adore those types of books and automatically gravitate to them, so I know a bit about them!
Z is a college athlete that is the captain of their hockey team and is a pretty big deal. He has already been drafted as the #1 draft pick for the Nashville Predators even though he is doing his last year at the college. He has a secret though, well kinda two, that he is living with and the front that he puts out is not always what it seems.
Sugar is super ambitious and want to get into a specific college for extremely specific reasons so she needs a certain hockey player to help her out. She never realized that spending time with him would make it impossible to not care for him.
This story is filled with tons of twists and turns and it is not just a simple fake dating book, there are some very deep undertones and it will make your heart hurt for what these characters have been through and what they are going through.
I absolutely loved the characters, the story line, the heat (zommmgggg so much heat!!), and how things played out. If you are wanting a great book to read– I highly recommend this!
PS: I received this book in advanced but am voluntarily reviewing it!
