Happy Release Day: Shenanigans (Brooklyn #6; Brooklyn Bruisers #9) by Sarina Bowen

 

What I meant to do in Vegas: Let my hair down for once and celebrate winning a medal at my first women’s hockey all-stars competition.

What I actually did: Got senior prom drunk and woke up married to Brooklyn’s star winger, the great Neil Drake. 

He’s the heir to a billion dollars, and I barely survived my childhood. Our friendship is based strictly only on hockey, takeout food, and smack talk. 

And now holy matrimony. Although we both know it can’t last, especially once his evil family gets wind of our Vegas shenanigans… 

Contains: Meddling teammates, meddling parents, ugly jewelry, and a pretend-kiss that nearly sets the world on fire.

 What I thought about Shenanigans

Charli (from the Brooklyn women's team) and Neil (from the Brooklyn men's team) wake up after a drunken night in Las Vegas to find themselves hungover, in compromising positions ... and married.  Then they miss the plane home. Good thing Neil is from a very wealthy family and happens to have a plane at this disposal.

They leave Vegas without an annulment and that's their first mistake. But when Neil realizes that he could make some changes at the family business if he has a spouse, he convinces Charli to help carry on their fake relationship for some time. Of course they catch feelings for each other and then things get oh so complicated.

There aren't any surprises in this story. it's a good, fun, old fashioned fake-marriage-to-real-feelings story. I liked that fact that Neil had an attraction to Charli before the fake marriage and the care he takes with her throughout is just swoon worthy.  He's just a good guy for the most part -- even though he uses the fake marriage for his own reasons (although they are good reasons) -- he does ask Charli to go along with it.

Overall, a quick read and sweet romance that I devoured in a day.
