Love-Leigh Book Reviews
Dateless Meets Good Girl This was so good, I absolutely loved everything about Harlow and Wade! Harlow is a sweet, career driven woman looking for approval when she meets the incredibly hot, hockey player Wade, who is seeking a fake girlfriend to bring home for his brothers wedding. I loved the way these two are around each other and the build up that takes place between them. It wasn’t hot and heavy right off the bat and I think it fit perfectly, especially with Harlow’s personality. Wade had me swooning hardcore for him, I just loved everything about his chapters! I really enjoyed all aspects of this book. Wades family was so fun to read and see Harlow interact with them, there’s great moments of humor mixed in and the hot and steamy times were so perfect! An overall fantastic read, would highly recommend it!

Mira Lyn Kelly melts the ice with DIRTY TALKER (Slayers Hockey #4). Chicago Slayers hockey star Wade Grady gets Harlow Richards to pretend to be his fake girlfriend for ten days when going home for his brother’s wedding. After being passed up for a promotion at work, getting out of town is exactly what Harlow needs. This contemporary sports romance is suitable for adult readers. I liked Harlow’s character. She is hard working and driven. She has been focused her entire life trying to gain her father’s respect. As a result, she does not have much of a personal life. After being passed up for a promotion everyone thought was hers, she decides to do something spontaneous and help Wade out with his needing a fake girlfriend predicament. After getting to know Wade and his family her priorities begin to shift. Wade is a likeable hero. He is a good guy. Every time he comes home everyone tries to set him up with a friend from high school, Kelsey. He wants to be able to focus on his brother’s wedding instead of dealing with everyone’s unwanted match making, thus the fake girlfriend. DIRTY TALKER was heartwarming and entertaining. More than once this story had me laughing and smiling. There are some interesting twists to the story. I like how the characters went in all business and come out with feelings for each other. DIRTY TALKER is an excellent addition to the Slayers hockey series. It could be followed as a stand-alone. I recommend this book to people who enjoy sports romances and/or fake girlfriend romance. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

OMG! Easily one of the best fake girlfriend books I've read. It's definitely my favorite of this trope and the best book in the series so far. Wade is just adorable. He's so real and so good with just a little bad boy thrown in to make him extra lovable. Harlow was a very likeable heroine. She was so wounded and was trying so hard to be perfect that you just can't help but love her. Wade called her by the cutest nickname of "good girl". Every time he called her that it made me smile. On paper they were very different but the author made it work. The chemistry was as sweet as it was hot. Wade's family was wonderful and loving. They welcomed Harlow with open arms. Harlow fell in love with the warmth, the generosity, and the love of this warm down to earth loving family. Something she had never had. They were a family even I envied. Wade's buddy, Axe, gave him some of the best book BFF advice ever. Axe: "Be the bunny, dude." With snappy dialogue, a well written story, awesome characters, some crazy moments, a little bit of chaos, and a whole lot of fun this book is going on my favorites list. I honestly loved this book. I recommend it and I hope anyone that reads it enjoys it as much as I did. I really
