Hockey Rules Book 6: Never Announce You’re Dating The Massage Therapist by Portia Blake

 

Hockey Rules Book 6

I blame the heart monitor. 

When I find myself at Florian Richter’s hospital bedside, I’m only there because Coach asked. The icy German defenseman has avoided me since the day he bolted from my massage table.

So when he wakes up with amnesia and assumes I’m his boyfriend? I attempt to correct him. Obviously. After all, he’s straight. Not that he’s ever been linked with anyone.

But then his heart monitor starts racing, nurses come running, and suddenly I’m telling everyone that yes, we’re absolutely together, and yes, I’ll take him home.

Now I’m fake-dating a man who used to scurry away when he saw me. This Florian looks at me with adoration. This Florian announces to a crowd of paparazzi outside the hospital that I’m his boyfriend.

This Florian will get his memory back at any moment.

And when he does, he’ll remember he can’t stand me.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

When Florian is knocked out during his hockey game, Mateo finds himself at this bedside. Florian hasn’t woken up and with family traveling to meet him and the team going on the road, Coach as Mateo to be there. Little does he know that Florian has been avoiding Mateo. Mateo is a massage therapist for the team and for some reason, he can’t figure out what he did to Florian that makes him avoid Mateo. So is he the best to be at his bedside? He doesn’t think so. But he won’t leave him either. But things turn complicated when Florian wakes up with no memory of the last several weeks and assumes that Mateo is his boyfriend. Mateo tries to correct him but between the doctors coming in and out and then the heart monitor going off, Mateo realizes he may do more harm than good. It’s fine though, he can take Florian for a bit and then he’ll tell him. But then Florian just keeps telling everyone they are together, and then his family arrives, and reporters are there. And Mateo realizes he is in deep trouble. Then when Florian remembers? Well, doesn’t look like either are off the hook. Oh man, poor Mateo in this book LOL. He tries so hard to tell Florian but Florian is just so happy to realize that he must have come out and stopped hiding and he is happy. This hockey team has the most adventurous and humorous ways to fall in love! You will be entertained for sure!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
