"He always dreamed of getting married--but for love, not to avoid deportation. Eli Hopkins has it all--almost. A hockey career with the wildly popular Appies. Teammates who are like brothers. The only thing he's missing is someone to share it all with. Oh--and correctly filed visa paperwork. Due to administrative error, Eli is about to lose everything. Unless he can find someone to marry him in the next thirty days. And he might have the perfect woman in mind. The only problem? He'd like to marry her for real, not simply for legal purposes. Now Eli faces the challenge of winning over a wife who thinks the marriage is in name only..."
What I loved about this book:
- Sweet, swoony and clean romance
- Handsome and outgoing hockey player
- Shy and sometimes awkward heroine
- Scene-stealing shelter dog named Doris
- Super loyal and supportive teammates
- Heartfelt kisses
- Humorous situations (like pajama bowling!)
- A very public proposal
- And their promise to be "awkward together"
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Eli and Bailey made me happy. They're such a cute couple. I loved how Eli fell so hard for her and tried to always put her feelings first. And I loved their happy ending. Emma St. Clair has become one of my favorite authors.
Happy Reading!
