About this listen
Duffy Distefano loves three things: her dad, the family cat, and Minneapolis Coyote football. So after she gets booed out of a game and becomes the internet’s villain following an awful encounter with the team’s beloved mascot, she is disgruntled, to put it mildly. Eager to clear the air, Duffy agrees to an interview on a hit morning show. She doesn’t expect a co-guest to join her—especially not the Coyotes’ star tight end.
When MVP Connor Cunningham gets tasked with damage control to help his team out of a PR nightmare involving its mascot, he thinks that means saying a few words on the Coyotes’ behalf. Instead, he finds himself in a highly amusing verbal sparring match with a recently wronged fan on live TV. Duffy pelts him with fiery jabs but is also clearly diehard about the Coyotes—color him intrigued…and attracted.
The interview instantly goes viral, and the public is obsessed with them. A strong push from the Coyotes’ PR team to ride the wave results in Connor asking Duffy out. Despite his distaste for PR stunts, he discovers being with Duffy is much easier than he anticipated, and somehow it doesn’t feel fake to him. This secret can only blow up, but all he knows is that if he messes things up with Duffy, it’ll be the greatest fumble of his life.
Critic Reviews
“Sharp, funny, and impossible not to love. Lynn Painter delivers a rom-com win with crackling banter, swoony chemistry, and a fake-dating setup that feels fresh and irresistible. We were cheering from the sidelines the whole time.”—Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of Love and Other Words
"Laugh-out-loud funny with completely adorable characters and a romance that you’ll be fully invested in—I was obsessed with this book from the start!”—Paige Toon, USA Today bestselling author of What If I Never Get Over You
"Lynn Painter at her FUNNIEST! Not only was the banter laugh-out-loud funny, Duffy’s dad had me slapping my knee. If you need a pick-me-up, this sports romance is like a shot of espresso! (With whipped cream on top.)"—Haley Pham, author of Just Friends
