My Review:

Cross Check Crush is the second book in the multiauthor series, Dating a Denver Dragon. It can be read as a standalone novel.

"Maybe some guys prefer fluffy girls."

I absolutely loved that the FMC is "fluffy" and not afraid of carbs. Both our main characters have real issues and insecurities they have/had to work through. There is great chemistry between them, plenty of witty banter, and laugh-out-loud moments. So many fun tropes are represented as well. I loved this one.

★★★★⭑/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

This is one crush she’s willing to bet on…

Reality star sweetheart, Freya Danielson, is no stranger to living under a microscope. But not even her fans know about her secret crush on hockey’s hottest bad boy, Bridger Baros.

Bridger’s grumpy persona might be off-putting to some, but Freya sees past the bluster to who he is underneath. Sweet, shy, considerate…

And woefully oblivious to how deep Freya’s feelings run.

Bridger can’t catch a break. If it’s not his brother’s constant passive-aggressive comparison bringing on a headache, it’s his teammates ragging about his aversion to dating. But when everything comes to a head after a frustrating phone call, Bridger finds himself in need of help.

He needs a fiancée. Fast. (rest of the synopsis deleted so you have no spoilers)

** Cross-Check Crush is a sweet hockey romance full of flirty messages, fake dating, and fuzzy, warm feelings that are most certainly NOT fake. **
