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?
A standalone hockey romance.
Okay, first of all ... This book had some of the hottest scenes I've ever read. This was scorching hot!
I have to say that this book started quite weird and I didn't know where the story would lead because I knew it was all about having a fake boyfriend, but the main characters slept together the first night they met. But, alright. That was explained later on and I kind of understood it.
I liked Sugar and I absolutely loved her name! She was laid-back and funny.
And Zack was a special kind. He was sweet and smooth, completely smitten with Sugar. When he felt like she doesn't feel the same, he did everything to make her believe that what they have is very real and he wasn't prepared to let her go. He took this whole fake relationship seriously.
But a secret was hanging over them and I have to admit it made me feel weird about all this dead girlfriend thing and Sugar looking like her. It's why Zack noticed her in the first place and, seriously, if you think about it for too long, it starts to feel weird. But Zack was so sweet about it at the end that all this weirdness lessened a little.
I also liked Eric in this story and I can't wait to read more about him! He has major f-boy vibes going on about him and I absolutely need to hear more about it.

This book was truly, truly hot and funny. Zack was an absolute sweetheart to Sugar and I loved seeing him like this since he had a reputation of having "a girl of the month"; meaning that he picked a girl at a party that he started going out for a month.
If you decide to read this book, prepare yourself for some very hot scenes that definitely won't leave you cold!
