Summary

The first time I met Max Yearwood was on a blind date。
Max was insanely gorgeous, funny, and our chemistry was off the charts。 He also had the biggest dimples I’d ever laid eyes on。
Exactly what I needed after my breakup。
Or so I thought… 
Until my real date arrived。
Turned out, Max wasn’t who I was there to meet。 He only pretended to be until my real date showed up。
To say I was disappointed would be an understatement。
Before he left, he slipped me a ticket to a hockey game a few blocks away, in case things didn’t work out on my actual date。
I tossed the ticket into my purse and went about trying to enjoy the man I was supposed to meet。
But my real blind date and I had no connection。
So on my way home, I decided to take a chance and stop by the game。
When I arrived, the seat next to me was empty。
Disappointed again, I decided to leave at the end of the period。
Just before the buzzer, one of the teams scored, and the entire arena went crazy。
A player’s face flashed up on the Jumbotron。 He was wearing a helmet, but I froze when he smiled。
You guessed it: Dimples
Apparently, my fake blind date hadn’t invited me to watch hockey with him, he’d invited me to watch him play
And so began my adventure with Max Yearwood。
He was everything I needed at the time—fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months since he’d signed with a new team three-thousand miles away。
Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex。 It sounded like a good plan。 Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date。 Right?
Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans。

3。5 StarsPossibly spoiler-ish review, maybe??? This one is a hard one for me to review。。。the first half I liked BUT the overly descriptive stories and small details I didn't need to know sort of took away from me totally connecting with the characters I SO WANTED to connect with。 The flashes to the past that are so a part of a Vi Keeland story didn't really add or necessarily take from the story but FOR ME they didn't even need to be told。 I guess it was a way to give us a little more background 3。5 StarsPossibly spoiler-ish review, maybe???

More like 2。5 stars。。。 The romance overall was just meh, but what really let me down was the whole (view spoiler)['I love you but I'll pretend I don't and leave you because I'm sick and dying' mess (hide spoiler)]。 I hate this trope。 More like 2。5 stars。。。 The romance overall was just meh, but what really let me down was the whole (view spoiler)['I love you but I'll pretend I don't and leave you because I'm sick and dying' mess (hide spoiler)]。 I hate this trope。 。。。more

I always enjoy Vi Keeland’s books。 Emotional, some spice, heartfelt, beautifully unfolded。

if this is her first book to me, it will earns four points。it’s not。 same structure, the last i read of hers, the gentleman getting Huntington Diseases and refuse to check till he met the lady。this time, Max won’t do the surgery till all the lines are same, just change the name。 Otto is the highlight of the book n i used to say, her books are look good because the side characters。

I love me a stellar meet-cute, and Vi Keeland’s newest release has the perfect start to Georgia and Max’s story。 And I would definitely not mind a guy like Max Yearwood stepping in and pretending to be my blind date as well as working overtime to give me a summer to remember…it also doesn’t hurt that he’s totally swoon worthy and willing to woo and prove to Georgia just how amazing she is。 Georgia’s thoughts and feelings about dating again, about putting herself out there, about going through an I love me a stellar meet-cute, and Vi Keeland’s newest release has the perfect start to Georgia and Max’s story。 And I would definitely not mind a guy like Max Yearwood stepping in and pretending to be my blind date as well as working overtime to give me a summer to remember…it also doesn’t hurt that he’s totally swoon worthy and willing to woo and prove to Georgia just how amazing she is。 Georgia’s thoughts and feelings about dating again, about putting herself out there, about going through another heartbreak and investing in something that might not workout will resonate with readers。 And while there were times I wanted her to have a bit more inner strength and say what needed to be said and act instead of overthinking, Max helps her to be freer, to focus on her wants and needs and to have fun, which seemed to be missing in her life。 Like many of Keeland’s other story lines, there are some unexpected twists along the way to the hero and heroine’s happy ever after and the angst, at times, made me want to lash out in some way, but in the end it’s what had to be done for the reality of what they could be and mean to each other to happen。 4 Poison Apples 。。。more

Max & Georgia are such a fun & loving couple。 Love how they met & how they fell in love。

Okay, I had a little bit of trouble with this at first。 The heroine (Georgia), is on a year long break from her writer/teacher fiancé who has moved to London for a year to find himself。 He promises he loves her and will be back in a year and in the meantime let’s have an ‘open’ relationship。 Meaning he gets to have meaningless hookups while she goes through the motions trying to date yet saving her heart for her idiot fiancé。 Now Georgia is a hard working, driven, very successful entrepreneur (s Okay, I had a little bit of trouble with this at first。 The heroine (Georgia), is on a year long break from her writer/teacher fiancé who has moved to London for a year to find himself。 He promises he loves her and will be back in a year and in the meantime let’s have an ‘open’ relationship。 Meaning he gets to have meaningless hookups while she goes through the motions trying to date yet saving her heart for her idiot fiancé。 Now Georgia is a hard working, driven, very successful entrepreneur (she has an eternity roses business), and I think that her boyfriend is a little intimidated by her success。 。。While Georgia forces herself to go out on a blind date she meets a sexy, dimpled Adonis who passes himself off as her date, until the real date shows up。 Sexy dimples and Georgia connected in the short time they spent together, and he invites her to tonight’s hockey game if she feels there’s no connection to her real blind date。 Georgia takes him up on the offer, but when he doesn’t show up she stays at the game anyhow。 And then she sees his smiling dimpled face on the Jumbotron。 Dimples is hockey star Max Yearwood!Max and Georgia continue the vibe they have going and it turns out not only are they physically attracted to each other, they connect emotionally。 Georgia fills Max in on her situation with her boyfriend, and while Max thinks he’s an idiot to leave Georgia unattended, he’s only too happy to step in。 They come to an arrangement to date for the summer, and then Max will go on his way since he’s going to sign with a new team in California and Georgia’s idiot fiancé will be back in the picture soon after。 Easy peasy no danger of either one falling for the other, right! Ha。My issue was with Georgia。 Why would she let this fiancé treat her this way? Once he started sleeping with other women she should’ve ended it。 And when she and Max started sleeping together (some hottt stuff) and had lots of fun exploring NYC and spending every waking moment with each other…。why didn’t she end it with fiancé? I don’t want to spoil what finally got her to realize her feelings for Max, but when she did of course there were complications…Now Max I loved。 He was a wonderful guy。 But he had this secret…And he should’ve revealed this secret to not only Georgia, but to his new team。 In fact, his new team could’ve voided his huge new contract but I won’t go there (I preferred to suspend disbelief here)。 Anyway, I eventually figured out the secret (I’ve read this plot in a few other books) and I knew what was coming for Georgia (the whole ‘I love you but you deserve better’ thing)。 So why did I tear up anyway? I guess you’ll have to read it to see。🙂This was going to be a solid 4 star read but I’ll bump it up a half since it got me to cry。🤷🏻‍♀️4 1/2 stars 。。。more

Good readThis was a good read。 The only reason why it’s not getting a 5 is because the build was a little too slow in the very beginning。

I absolutely adored this book! Georgia and Max’s love story was so beautiful and so well written and I’m still crying。 That ending was everything!

Another great Vi Keeland book。 Picked this one up as I hopeful easy fluffy read in between some more heavy, dark reads and this one ended up being pretty emotional。 The story seems pretty straight forward but you quickly realize more is going on under the surface。 I really enjoyed Max and Georgia’s instant chemistry。 It was clear that they belonged together。 The plot was a tad predictable but the feelings the plot incited were totally authentic。 Plus, you can’t really go wrong with a god hockey Another great Vi Keeland book。 Picked this one up as I hopeful easy fluffy read in between some more heavy, dark reads and this one ended up being pretty emotional。 The story seems pretty straight forward but you quickly realize more is going on under the surface。 I really enjoyed Max and Georgia’s instant chemistry。 It was clear that they belonged together。 The plot was a tad predictable but the feelings the plot incited were totally authentic。 Plus, you can’t really go wrong with a god hockey romance!

This was average。 Not my favorite Keeland release but。。。 (view spoiler)[ so let me get this straight。。。 her ex fiancé moves to a different COUNTRY for a year and wants an open relationship so he can 'fix' himself by sleeping with other women? And Georgia is there undecided whether to wait for him to come back or move on with Max? IS SHE FOR REAL? The fact that she even had to think about that。。。 Girl bye。 I should have given 2 stars for that ridiculousness alone (hide spoiler)] This was average。 Not my favorite Keeland release but。。。 (view spoiler)[ so let me get this straight。。。 her ex fiancé moves to a different COUNTRY for a year and wants an open relationship so he can 'fix' himself by sleeping with other women?

Una historia linda para pasar el rato。 Max fue lo mejor del libro con su humor, sus perros, y su familia。 Su relación con Georgia me gustó aunque se pudieron ahorrar un poquito el drama de antes del final。

Loved! Perfection。 So good。 Soooooo good。 Sweet romantic funny and incredibly steamy。 I was worried a bit about a love triangle but it played out perfectly。 These story has some layers that will make your heart hurt a bit but in the end you will just take a deep breath and be so happy

Gracy

This book was a good read if you are looking for a insta love with the boy falls first trope! Max is such a simp and sometimes it was cute and sometimes it was cringey… this book is generally pretty fluffy until the end there is some sadness but not crazy and a HEA! Overall a fun easy quick read!

Amanda

AMAZING! Another hit from Vi Keeland! I absolutely LOVED Max and Georgia’s story。 Max was SWOON WORTHY every step of the way。 Their love story was beautiful。 Can’t wait for more! I hope Maggie gets her story told。
