Rhett comes from a troubled past and now being the bad boy of hockey he needs to get his life in order and make better decisions, that’s where Lucy comes in. Lucy hasn’t had it easy with the tension between her and her father, but Rhett Remington the new guy on the team isn’t helping keep her job easy. He is determined to never follow the rules and do things his own way, but Lucy is determined to set him straight. When a night in Vegas ends up with them having a moment that comes straight from the movie The Hangover, they don’t remember the night before but the rings on their fingers let them know that some bad decisions were made. Lucy knows this will not only be out of control but also end both their careers plans to keep up the rouse so no one gets in trouble. One thing that bothered me was Lucy’s parents just made themselves at home in Rhett’s apartment, not really saying why other than judging, keeping the tension high and the only good thing that came from this was it pushed Lucy and Rhett to get closer. Rhett had a lot of baggage when it came to his family and he felt like he always had to save everyone even at the risk of his career or life. Lucy tries to reach him but sometimes he gets into his own head with the hateful words of his father and refuses to see that he is amazing and deserves to be loved. This book was such a great read and I loved the journey they took us on.

I enjoyed this one. While it wasn’t my favorite out of the series this far, it was still a good read. I wish the ending didn’t feel so rushed but overall there was nothing major about this book that I disliked.
I really enjoyed Foster’s character and can’t wait to read his story!
Recommend this especially if you like romance, a lot of heat, and sports romance.

I was so excited to be back with our Devils and find out about our broody one! Rhett is the trouble seeking, grumpy hockey player that wants nothing to do with Lucy having to improve his image. Lucy is such a fun and fierce character and I just love how she doesn’t back down from a challenge. They are the definition of a grumpy sunshine romance. While in Vegas, they find themselves accidentally married! The accidentally married/fake marriage trope is not one of my favorites but Melissa did this one so well that I enjoyed it and couldn’t put the book down until I was done! (Although I do wish there was a bit more on the possibility of them being drugged!)
Who doesn’t love a dirty talking, filthy hockey player? Rhett was all of that and oh so hott! The more time Rhett spends with Lucy, the harder it is for them to maintain this fake marriage and not to break their rules. I loved their banter back and forth, the way they communicated with each other was fun and easy and you could tell their relationship was going from fake to real. Even though Rhett’s heart was warming towards Lucy, he was still keeping plenty of secrets from her. Those secrets severely threatened their relationship. I was very annoyed with Rhett’s relationship with his dad, I kept yelling at my kindle for him to stop answering his phone or to yell back at him! Will Rhett open up to Lucy in time to save their marriage? Or is he going to push her away and end their marriage?

Hockey player Rhett has a bad reputation, a bad image, and an even worse attitude. He is on his last strike from being off the team, and Lucy, hi PR agent, is determined to fix him. One night in Vegas and they wake up with no memory, a signes marriage license, and matching wedding rings. Hell bent on saving Rhett's image, Lucy and Rhett decide to stay in the fake marriage to help him for four months. Little do they know the ground rules they set, like no sex and no falling in love, are lines that they are about to blur.
So I probably should have read the first two books in the Devils series before reading this one, but @ccsbookstack 's review had me so intrigued that I bypassed them and jumped right into this book! No regrets! I absolutely loved Rhett and Lucy. They were the polar opposite relationship characters that just worked so well. The content and the spice were great and I was rooting for their happy ending from the second they realize they got married.
The side characters (who I did not know because of not reading the first two books) were enjoyable and funny. I'm definitely going to go back and read them too! I need backstories! I also enjoyed the side stories with both Rhett and Lucy's families. It helped me understand their characters better and didn't detract from the story at all.
I usually don't read sports romances, because sports aren't my thing, but can someone teach my husband to ice skate so we can re-enact that ice rink scene?

Lucy and Rhett are in a game of tug of war, both with each other and themselves. I loved and disliked how long it took for them to finally both fall into the pit realizing they didn’t have to fight their feelings.
I just want to curl myself around Rhett because as the story progresses I saw that broken little boy showing through in almost every action of his.
This HEA was definitely worth the wait!

This is an amazing book of fake relationship/marriage of convenience! I absolutely loved Lucy and Rhett's story!
This story has plenty of emotions that made me laugh and also tear up. I loved Lucy and Rhett's chemistry and their intimate scenes were very Hot! I also enjoyed reading their struggles and how they overcome them.
This is one of my new favorite hockey romance books now! I'm very happy I had a chance to read this as it is a first time reading Melissa Ivers book! I'm definitely a FAN and I highly recommend this! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would!
