When her real (boring) date shows up, he excuses himself and invites her to a hockey game later in the evening, just in case her date doesn’t deliver. The story picks up when Georgia finally decides to try dating again while her fiancè is abroad and enjoying himself, and meets Max while he pretends to be her blind date. (Hello “ The Heart Principle” by Helen Hoang.) It’s a little silly, but I’m not sure it’s too unrealistic for some women to be gaslit into this situation. This is the second book this year (and ever) that I’ve read a story following a heroine whose boyfriend suddenly decides to go off and have an open relationship, and she’s left reeling and decides to try to dive-in, too. It’s not complicated, but it is sweepingly adorable with great characters and THE FLIRT was so on point, I was giggling like a schoolgirl imagining myself in Georgia’s spot. Maas because I didn’t want to get stuck in a reading slump in the wake of that knockout story. I love a flirty book and this one more than delivered!! I fell into this one after reading “ House of Sky and Breath” by Sarah J. Right? Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.

Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. He only pretended to be until my real date showed up.To say I was disappointed would be an understatement.Before he left, he slipped me a ticket to a hockey game a few blocks away, in case things didn’t work out on my actual date.I tossed the ticket into my purse and went about trying to enjoy the man I was supposed to meet.But my real blind date and I had no connection.So on my way home, I decided to take a chance and stop by the game.When I arrived, the seat next to me was empty.Disappointed again, I decided to leave at the end of the period.Just before the buzzer, one of the teams scored, and the entire arena went crazy.A player’s face flashed up on the Jumbotron. He was wearing a helmet, but I froze when he smiled.You guessed it: Dimples.Apparently, my fake blind date hadn’t invited me to watch hockey with him, he’d invited me to watch him play.And so began my adventure with Max Yearwood.He was everything I needed at the time-fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months since he’d signed with a new team three-thousand miles away.Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Or so I thought… Until my real date arrived.Turned out, Max wasn’t who I was there to meet. The first time I met Max Yearwood was on a blind date.Max was insanely gorgeous, funny, and our chemistry was off the charts. He also had the biggest dimples I’d ever laid eyes on.Exactly what I needed after my breakup. Genres: Adult, Romance, Contemporary Romance, Hockey Romance, Sports Romance
