| Toronto Thunder Book 3 |
Come hell or high water, Nate’s gonna be Ramsey’s perfect (fake) boyfriend . . .
The night Nate Bishop met Ramsey Andresen, he didn’t know who he was.
Didn’t know he was a hockey player. Didn’t know he’d be sticking around in Toronto. Most definitely didn’t know they’d hook up and Ramsey would walk right out of his life. Leaving him aching for more and hating that he can’t forget him.
They meet again at a Thunder team party and Nate’s not only shocked by Ramsey’s presence, but the way he acts like he belongs. He’s gorgeous and perfect and unobtainable, his existence rubbing Nate’s face into everything he can’t have.
He knows his teammates aren’t happy they don’t get along. But the last thing Nate expects is for Ramsey to suggest a plan to get them off their backs.
Not a fake friendship, but a fake situationship.
As they spend more time together—at first a necessity because of the charade, and then because they can’t stay away from each other—Nate starts to learn more about Ramsey’s secrets.
And each shadowy corner that Nate shines light into makes him like Ramsey even more. Until like slides easily into love, and fake becomes something real. Something precious. When they shatter the illusion, can they face the reality that they want each other, completely and forever, after playing pretend for so long?

My Review: 5/5 Stars
It’s finally Ramsey’s book!! Been waiting for his story since his appearances in the Portland Evergreen Hockey series. Took a bit, but it was the worth the wait for him to find his happy ending. Ramsey is always there for his friends. He is the most loyal guy and sees a lot more than anyone realizes. But he also tends to put on a mask. Never letting anyone get too close to him. Especially when it comes to love. He’ll never let himself be put in that situation. But then he meets Nate. And their first interaction is a surprise at not just the chemistry between them but the fact that Nate can see right past Ramsey’s well put together mask. And though the two of them may want different things, they somehow find themselves giving in for one night. But after when Ramsey realizes exactly who Nate is and that they share someone in common, he does what he does best. He runs and makes sure Nate won’t come after him. But that someone connection is Nate’s teammate, Wes, who is one of Ramsey’s closest friends. Seeing one another is inevitable. The minute Nate sees Ramsey at the bar next to Wes, things fall into place in his mind when it comes to Ramsey. But it still hurts to see Ramsey and know they can’t be more. Or can they? When their meddling friends get to be a little too much, Ramsey offers a fake relationship. One, Nate can’t resist even though he knows this has the potential to hurt him more than ever once it ends. Oh man, these two! You just wanted to shake them both and tell them to get together! While Nate was all for it, it was really Ramsey who needed to overcome his fears. And I loved how Nate was able to help him by just being there and letting Ramsey figure it out and be patient. These two were just so sweet, especially when they got out of their own way. Really loved their story and it’s just another great addition to this series!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
