Alexei is in trouble, he is having issue with his immigration paperwork which means there is trouble with his parents immigration and they cannot go back to Russia. Georgia needs access to a inheritance in order to help fund a sports medicine research program that she is passionate about, but one problem is that she cannot get access to the money until she marries. Two people with a problem that marriage could fix, the only problem is they cannot stand each other. But people are not always who they seem and maybe they can make something real of this fake marriage.
While it is not 100% needed to read the previous 3 books in this series before this one, there is some interactions in those books between Alexei and Georgia that help lead up to this book. Plus I did enjoy the previous 3 so I do recommend reading them.
I really enjoyed this book and did not want to put it down, as I was interesting to see how their relationship develops along the way and how they will break through to each other. There are some great moments in the book between the two of them.
Okay, I have a few favourite aspects in this book, first was the banter between the two. The little fights they have, they way Alexi jumps to a conclusion with the bunnies and how even when they are starting to fall for each other the Banter stays. I also loved the secret messages that Alexei was sending to Georgia with the flowers. I appreciate the research that Archer put in to know the meaning of all the flowers that he sends and it was just a sweet and different way to show what Alexi was feeling.
I think there is this idea that this has an enemies to lovers trope in it but while they totally seem to not like each other, I would classify it more as them having a love hate relationship. You can really see this, with the dual POV and what they think of each other and how much the don't know about each other. I think books like this need a dual POV I am happy that Archer has kept to that format.
I wasn't a fan of all the time jumps in the book, it was always a few weeks later or next week at the start of each chapter. I think this hindered the flow of their relationship. I get that Alexie is away due to being a professional hockey player and she is super busy as a doctor but I doubt it would be weeks before they would see each other.
I've really enjoyed this series, they are great hockey romance books that are a fun mixture of sweet and spicy. I cant wait to see which couple Archer decides to write about next.
