When Parker’s childhood crush (and brother’s best friend) ends up back in their hometown playing hockey for the team she works for, she can’t help the feelings that surface. Then she goes and tells the tiniest lie that Logan will be coming with her to her Dad’s birthday gala as her date. What is she going to do now?

I love the Appies! This book was so much fun to read. I loved every minute of it. The fall vibes were pretty good. I enjoyed reading from both Parker and Logan’s perspectives while they fake dated with real feelings. Parker was an energetic lead character and I loved her enthusiasm for her job. I thought she was relatable and her inner monologues about not allowing herself to have feelings for Logan were very amusing. I also appreciated the ‘never been kissed’ angle the author took with Parker’s story. Logan was quite lovable as well. How could I not love him when he took Parker to a bookstore on a date? The side characters were so much fun here too! I’m loving the whole Appies Team! I can’t wait to read more! This book is part of the Sweater Weather Collection (7 different books by 7 different authors) and #1 in the Appies series by Emma St. Clair and Jenny Proctor. The author also has a bonus epilogue available for download on her website as well as a ‘new’ epilogue that is mostly the same, just a few minor changes to help with continuity across the series. They’re both short, 7 and 13 pages. Check those out if you’re interested.
