Fake Skating – Lynn Painter

From the no. 1 bestselling author of Better Than the Movies comes a swoony, boy-next-door fake-dating romance set in a hockey-obsessed town. Childhood sweethearts Dani and Alec were inseparable until Dani moved away. Years later, she returns to Minnesota eager to reconnect — only to find Alec transformed from the nerdy boy she remembers into the town's hockey star. When circumstances push them into a pretend relationship, sparks fly and "complicated" doesn't even begin to cover it. In a place where hockey rules, romance is about to take the ice.

Trending among book lovers for its fake-dating and sports romance tropes and Painter's trademark banter. Perfect for fans of Betting on You, The Do-Over, and Better Than the Movies (all Lynn Painter).

Rated 4.7/5 on Goodreads — "Fun, adorable, and heart-melting."
