Gloves are dropped for this grumpy sunshine romance from Kristen Hope Mazzola! Pick up Public Enemy #91 today!
The wait is finally over—Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Hope Mazzola returns to the ice with a brand-new hockey romance series: Shots on Goal—MN Frosthawks.
Alois Müller is professional hockey’s favorite villain.
The Minnesota Frosthawks’ veteran enforcer is known for brutal hits, wicked honesty, and a glare that’s started more headlines than the league will ever admit.
So when a viral scandal threatens the team’s reputation, management gives him one last chance to clean up his image… or hang up his jersey forever.
Enter Beatriz “Bea” Ribeiro.
Brilliant. Unflappable. And the youngest PR strategist the organization has ever hired.
Her first assignment?
Rehabilitate the league’s most notorious troublemaker before he destroys the Frosthawks’ season.
Simple.
Except Alois Müller refuses to be handled.
Managing him means babysitting a six-foot-four walking PR disaster with ice-blue eyes, a temper the league loves to hate… and a talent for getting under Bea’s skin like no one else.
Unfortunately for both of them, the solution to his scandal is worse than the problem.
A fake relationship.
Suddenly Bea is stuck beside the one man who seems determined to drive her insane.
Press conferences.
Charity galas.
Team flights.
And one very convincing series of staged dates.
The rules are simple:
Don’t fight in public.
Don’t break the script.
And absolutely do not start believing the chemistry.
But the more time they spend pretending to be in love, the harder it becomes to ignore the sparks neither of them wants to admit are real.
Because beneath Alois’s reputation is a fiercely loyal teammate, a devastating flirt, and a man who looks at Bea like she’s the only person in the room.
Meanwhile Bea is trying to keep her career on track, keep the team’s image intact, and stop her extremely judgmental Selkirk Rex cat from declaring war on the six-foot-four hockey enforcer suddenly invading their lives.
Now the entire league is watching.
Their chemistry is trending.
And the biggest lie they’ve ever told might be turning into the one thing neither of them can walk away from.
Public Enemy #91 was supposed to be a media strategy.
Instead, it might be the most dangerous play of their lives.
🏒Review🏒
Alois is a man who acts or speaks first and doesn’t consider the consequences until afterwards. It is for this reason that his hockey career is in jeopardy if he doesn’t improve his image. He is not happy that Bea has been tasked with helping him and that only increases when not only do they need to pretend to be in a relationship but end up living together as well.
Bea is ready to begin her career in PR and working for the Frosthawks is the perfect opportunity until she meets Alois and realizes what a challenge it is going to be and that was before she found out they needed to pretend to be in a relationship. She believes she knows the man he is but she may be the one in for a surprise.
This is a story about two people who are trying to protect their careers and love isn’t part of that plan. The banter is entertaining, the romance is touching and the characters draw you in.
