Sarina Bowen continues her hockey romance dynasty with
BIG STICK ENERGY, the second installment of the New York
Legends series. Β Loved the first book, THROWN FOR A
LOOP, that is reminiscent of the 80s film The Cutting Edge
with a female figure skater reunited with her former pairs
partner turned hockey player.
The newest book, BIG STICK ENERGY, focuses on hockey
front office admin Darcy with gorgeous Captain Eric
Tremaine. Darcy accidentally sends an inappropriate DM to
Eric, commenting on his Β latest sexy social media post.
This complicates their working relationship and her
unfortunate crush. When coincidences have them attending the
same wedding, fake dating is the perfect solution for their
respective family drama. But what happens when one of them
wants more and the other isnβt ready to risk it?
Feisty female lead and a cinnamon roll main guy who both
seem to have it all figured out until you see them facing
their pasts. Fast-paced story with characters you love and
love to hate.
Darcy Kendrick is used to putting out fires. As an overworked admin to a hockey team, she’s seen it all. But nothing prepares her for accidentally DMing her very private, very NSFW fantasy to the subject of this fantasy: team captain Eric Tremaine. Nobody actually dies of embarrassment. Right?
But when a wedding invite puts them on a collision course with her chaotic family and his emotionally fraught past, Eric suggests a plan: they fake-date their way through the “Wedding Experience.” It’s mutually beneficial. Totally strategic. And definitely not real. Except between mini tacos, slow dances and lingering glances, Eric starts to wonder if the sharp-tongued assistant with a bottomless to-do list might be the one person who truly sees him. And for Darcy? The fire in her heart might be the only one she can’t put out.
It’s supposed to be fake. It’s supposed to be temporary. So why is it so hard to walk away?
