The Last Kind of Kiss (Riverside Reapers)

Up-and-coming model Lila Perkins has a long-standing feud with fate. She no longer believes in soul ties or coincidences, and she definitely doesn’t believe in happily ever afters. Not after suffering through The Great Ghosting with her ex-situationship. Now she swears by the ball-busting belief that you have to do things yourself instead of waiting for the stars to align. But right as she’s about to embark on a modeling campaign with the potential to change the trajectory of her career, fate rears its ugly head and plays a sick joke on her. The catch to getting her dream job? She has to work with the captain of the Riverside Reapers…the only man who has ever broken her heart. Bristol Brenner, hockey team captain and all-around stand-up guy, gets whatever he wants with a flirty smile and a sweetened sentiment. From the outside, his life looks perfect. He’s got the looks, the charisma, the wealth, the fame, and an astoundingly clean track record. But not everything can remain hidden behind a rose-colored lens. Bristol’s running from an inescapable past, and a year ago, he ran right out of Lila’s life as a result. He never imagined he would see her again…until he walks into her chemistry read as her new costar. And the worst part? The sexual tension is still there between them, and keeping things professional is proving to be harder than a hat trick. Lila and Bristol have three months to convince the world they’re Hollywood’s next “It” couple or they can kiss their modeling jobs goodbye. With each photoshoot and paparazzi run-in, their feelings for one another become more apparent. Hatred takes one hell of an R-rated turn, and suddenly, stolen glances and clandestine kisses aren’t enough to satiate the flame of desire between them. But the closer they become, the harder the world works to pull them apart, and deep-rooted façades begin to crumble to reveal unbearable truths. The Last Kind of Kiss is a heart-wrenching hockey romance featuring a golden boy hockey captain, a strong-headed model with a plan for revenge, a fake dating ploy, spice hot enough to make you question your religious values, and a reunion of two lost souls. It’s the fourth book in a series but can be read as a standalone. Will this fake relationship blossom into something real, or will insecurities prevent these two lost souls from finding their way back to each other The Last Kind of Kiss is a hockey romance, fake dating, dislike to lovers, one bed, forced proximity, workplace, second-chance romance with no cheating, and a satisfying happily ever after.
