The Friend Face Off

A Sweet Small Town Hockey Romcom

By: Grace Worthington

Narrated by: Sean Hardisty, Cassidy Brown

As a ravenous reader, I've got a secret: I'm obsessed with hockey romances. But let me tell you, real life hockey players are nothing like my book boyfriends. So I threw down the gauntlet on BookTok. I challenged any single guy out there to prove me wrong.

Enter Dawson Hayes, a goalie with a point to prove and my brother's best friend. But there's a catch: for me to accept, I have to pretend that he's my fake boyfriend.

Keeping him in the fake boyfriend zone is the only way to deal with my secret attraction. Turns out, the line between fake and real isn't just blurry, it's become impossible to tell the difference when he looks at me with those eyes that say, You're mine.

DAWSON

The first time I met Emmy, her brother warned me to stay away. Now I'm back, and I can't resist her dating challenge: to find out if any man can be more romantic than the book boyfriends she adores.

When the moment of truth comes, the chemistry between us turns into something neither of us expected: A romantic face-off between friends who are insanely attracted to each other.

Now, I'm out to prove to her that you should never judge a book by its cover—or a hockey player when it comes to love.
