Publisher's summary

A chance meeting. A hunky hockey player. A fake romance.

Hardly an ordinary day in the life of Poppy Hart.

My days usually consist of agonizing over my failing restaurant, worrying about my mountain of debt, and nursing my broken heart.

Everything changes when I bump into a man in the coffee shop and claim him as my new boyfriend. To my absolute horror, he turns out to be hockey's most renowned bad boy, Dallas Burke. To my absolute delight, he goes along with my story.

When his no-nonsense manager and meddling grandmother jump in the picture, they see a win-win solution for my failing restaurant and Dallas's less-than-stellar reputation: A full-fledged fake romance complete with contract negotiations, pretend dates, and phony PDA.

As I get to know the real Dallas Burke, who is not the man the press says he is, it becomes clear that if this isn't real...someone better tell it to my heart.

Cute story

I loved the whole story line. I didn’t like when the male narrator did Poppy’s voice. It was so so bad.

Romantic sizzles with humor and heart

This was my first Courtney Walsh book. I’m hooked. It had all the thrills and chills without any smut. The dialogue is snappy and humorous. I couldn’t help but laugh out loud at several points. The characters felt warm and real, and I found myself routing for them to overcome every obstacle. It was so refreshing to read romantic scenes that gave me goosebumps, but didn’t make me feel like a peeping Tom. The readers were great actors, which is not always the case with audio books. My only negative would be that it’s a bit off-putting to hear a male voice attempting the female lines. I know there are probably logistical issues with recordings that might make it hard, but I would love to hear all the male thoughts and dialogue in only a male voice, and ditto for the female. It was a very minor distraction, though, to what was an extremely enjoyable experience.

An excellent read and performance.

The voice actors really brought this book to life and I absolutely loved each chapter. It was such a wonderful story and listening to it was the icing on the cake.

Lighthearted Sweet and Easy Read

Throughly enjoyed the story, the male narrator was very enjoyable to listen, the female narrator was good but halfway through the story I started to hear each inhalation which grated a bit, but the overall story was very sweet and one of my favorite tropes.

Cute story, rough narration

I liked this story, but the male narrator’s gratuitous giggles for Poppy’s dialogue were painful and way too silly. Also agree with the other reviewer’s comment about the female narrator’s inhalations.

Nothing phony about this love story

Courtney’s plot is so fun and light hearted, but kept my attention throughout the book. I enjoyed it so much that I’m ordering the next book immediately.

The audio narration is well done and also easy to follow.

Perfect for V Day

Poppy chuckled a bit too much for me, and Dallas was uber serious. But I loved the story, here for the hockey hunks!
