Goodreads Synopsis
Before Logan Barnes was hockey’s hottest bad boy, he was my brother’s best friend … and my first crush. Oh, yeah—and the guy who ghosted me and broke my teenage heart.
Now Logan is back in Harvest Hollow, but not willingly. Recovering from an injury (and some bad press), he’s stuck playing for our minor league team.
Which means I’ll be working with him almost daily.
As the hockey team's social media manager, it’s my job to wrangle all the guys into filming TikTok trending videos. But Logan doesn’t want to be wrangled.
Turns out … neither does my heart.
Because my old crush never died.
And when Logan becomes my accidental fake boyfriend, those old feelings flare hot enough to melt the ice.
But this is all totally one-sided. Totally fake. Isn't it?
No matter what signals he seems to be giving me or how real things start to feel, I know Logan’s not home for good.
I survived Logan leaving me once. But this time, I’m not so sure my heart will recover…

Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher, via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
Parker is the social media manager for the Appies hockey team, and she loves her job. She and the team have such a great rapport, and her posts soon go viral. So when hotshot Logan Barnes returns to town, stuck playing for the Appies while he recovers, Parker can't think of anything worse. He's her brother's best friend, the only person she's ever had a crush on, and the one who ghosted her when they were younger. Now Logan gets to see Parker in control, and he doesn't like how the rest of the team looks at her.
This was a really sweet and easy read, perfect for when the days are getting a little bit too hot and you're wishing for the autumn to come. Parker was such a great character, who was definitely in her element with the guys on the team. She might not be the most confident when it comes to dating the opposite sex, she had great fun getting the team to perform in wacky tiktok's, even when grumpy Logan tried to put a stop to it. Her and Logan's banter was hilarious, and when they added the fake dating element to the story, it just put the silliest grin on my face. Yes some parts of it were a bit cringy, but it was fun, and that's all that matters.
