Synopsis (Goodreads):
There’s no faking it in love or hockey...Thoughts on Playmaker: Callan and Aria have a complicated thing going on and I am here for it! FYI, I don't mean complicated in the usual sense, but rather they're housemates (sharing the 3rd floor of their sports house which means they really can't avoid one another since, you know, they have side by side rooms and literally share a bathroom) and Aria had secret reasons for transferring to Moo U that she isn't keen on anyone finding out about.
Transferring to a new school under false pretenses is harder than I expected, especially when my cocky new housemate, Callan Thomas, annoys me at every pass. He’s treated like a god and revered by everyone on campus. Too bad he made me feel like a rejected fool the first night we met.
But that doesn’t stop me from accepting his offer to become his fake girlfriend, because he has skills that I need. Only Callan can help me improve my game and make the USA women’s hockey team.
I try to keep despising him, but he keeps proving my first impression was wrong. And the more time I spend with him, the more complex my feelings become. I need to tell him the truth about who I really am before anyone finds out and things go too far.
Problem is, I think they already have...
As for the housemates thing...that would be workable. Probably. If the two of them didn't spark off one another something fierce and just tolerated the other's presence...no problem. But they do spark and they do more than tolerate and yeeeeaaaah. Throw in Aria's not so fun (well, most of the time) night terrors and things get verrry interesting.
On Cal's end, he's trying very hard to make good choices (which he articulates to Aria very poorly) and he has more than a few daddy issues. In the end, Aria's the best sort of complication even though she was hiding a thing or two about herself.
Hockey, steamy kisses, parental issues, sexy middle of the night shenanigans, and two people who have to figure things out before they can find their emotional happy place. *thumbs up*
