Omg I just want to say I love Rux so much it hurts. Now that I have that out of my system, maybe a little bit, this book was so good I didn’t want to put it down, but I needed how the story would end up. Rux is this overly hot, sexy hockey player that is also goofy, loves to have fun and thinks he isn’t good for anyone when as the reader we know it isn’t true. If look past his goofy fun-loving ways we can see that deep down something is haunting him, but he has found his comfort in Cammy and her son. He will do anything for them and has this need to protect them no matter what, but he refuses to acknowledge any underlying feelings. Cammy is a single mother who has done everything in her power to provide the best life for her kid and her best friend Rux has been there for her in every possible way, but the attraction they have is always put on the back burner for the sake of not disrupting the friendship. These two are perfect for each other even if they don’t want to acknowledge it, until Rux sets out to put a guy in his place by showing him what he is missing in Cammy. They pretend in public to be a couple, but their attraction can’t be denied. Can they find their way around the friend zone to be more or will the past and self-doubts stand in their way to happiness? I thought Vaughn was my main hockey guy but Rux has stolen his place and now they are tied as the best hot hockey players in my mind. Can’t wait for more from this series. ( )

"I'm not asking you to be my real boyfriend. I know that's not - it's not what either of us want from each other. But maybe, since there's this thing between us. And we've already crossed the line. Maybe for a while, we could just...have some fun together."

Take friends to friends-with-benefits to lovers, sprinkle in some hockey and a tragic backstory and you get a cute little story. ( )

3rd book is the charm. I liked the first 2 in the series but both had elements that did not work for me. This one was filled with honest discussion, and healthy responses and respect. Nice. Also, Rux and Cammy are adorable ( )
