Truly, never judge a book by its cover. The girl in a sexy pink jersey and a hockey stick didn't really catch my attention. I never expected to be hooked - totally hooked! Coming from the night duty, I latched on to my Kindle and finished it right before I fell asleep.Wylie Snow made a sweet, sexy and funny tale of two people who came from different parts of the world finding love in the most unexpected circumstances.Meet Clara Bean (of Bean and Biscuit). She is one of Europe's highly acclaimed restaurant critics. She's a complete mess - and it's not just because she lost her beloved dog. She thought she was going to get fired when she reached America, but was surprised to be offered with a promotional tour with a former hockey player and sports icon, the dashing Luc. Will she be able to do her job without him knowing her secrets? Clara, Clara, Clara - I didn't know what to do with her. She has reasons to be insecure, and to have trust issues. After all, a lot is at stake once her secret is revealed and it's not only her who's going to be affected. I wished she asked for help - because I know Luc is willing to help her, whatever it takes. But no, she insisted on doing things herself.Luc Bisquet was the star of the ice before he was forced into retirement because of an injury. Now working as a sports analyst - no one would think that he too has some secrets. Then Clara came along, one look at her, and sparks flew. He can't help but ogled that petite brunette. He knew he's gotta have her. He's willing to play the game, and make sure he wins - because there is no place he'd rather be with her than his bed - or the elevator? I so love Luc - he's charming, witty and sweet. Yes, he has some minor weaknesses that some ladies may find unattractive. But it didn't bother me - because nothing is more attractive than a man with brains and body.I so love the elevator scene - it reminds me so much of one of my favorite movies...Although it was hotter, sexier and steamier compared to the movie ...Theirs is a sorta-complicated love story. Everything seems complicated when you lie and do not come clean with your partners. Nobody can deny the chemistry - everything was sizzling since they first laid eyes on each other. But will chemistry be ever be enough? When careers are on the line? When secrets long kept are about to be revealed?What kept me reading on are mostly the witty banters thrown in by the characters. I always love good conversations and dialogues. You can seldom find a man who's good in talking about a lot of stuffs (besides himself) and with a wicked, wicked sense of humor. I like Sutter and Lydia and I wished they too would have their HEA (is it possible?) I'm sure like me - you will fall in love with every character in this novel - well, except for that bitch namely Valentina. You'll understand once you'll meet her.Nevertheless, you have to read GAME ON! Testosterone-filled sports, gustatory cravings and sex has never been this irresistible and satisfying.*An ARC Copy was given by the author in exchange for an honest review
