Deke (Fake Boyfriends Series #3)

Another Eden Finley Series, another posting dump... Fake Boyfriends Series Book #3: "Deke"

Okay, so there's a novella in between Book #2 and Book #3, but I didn't find it anywhere until I finished #3 and was halfway through #4, so I'm going to go back and read it (and post about it) then (along with the novella that takes place after #3 and before #4--and the one between #4 and #5--it worked out that all of these novellas are in their own bound edition ("Fake Boyfriend Breakaways") and that I didn't get to them/find them until now so...yeah).

Word of advice: don't come out to random guys in public restrooms. Even if they're charming and adorably nerdy and offer to help.

My family believe I can't be happy if I'm not out to the world. I have a bitter ex-boyfriend and an unstable NHL career to show for it. A fake boyfriend seems like an easy and quick solution to get my family off my back, and this guy is volunteering. I take him up on it without asking his name.

I really should've asked for his name.

Lennon
Word of advice: learn how to introduce yourself properly.

In my defense, I don't recognize Ollie Strömberg right away. I cover football, not hockey.

I'm not supposed to see him again, and he's never supposed to find out I'm a reporter.

That all changes when my editor reassigns me.

It's a lesson I should've learned by now. Nothing's changed since high school. Jocks still hate nerds. But even worse, athletes hate journalists. Especially ones who know their secret."]

The other books in this series were pre-planned fake-dating incidents, with “rules” and shit (rules they broke but they wouldn't be romance books if they didn't fall in love, so you won't hear me complaining). 

This book is more like “hey I just met you (and this is crazy) but pretend to be my boyfriend for a hot sec please." 

And Ollie only asks because Lennon looks like a hot Clark Kent. And Lennon only says yes because Ollie looks like a tattooed Norse god. So there’s that spoiler alert. ;)
