Kendall Hale delivers a captivating mix of fake dating, hockey romance, and slow-burn tension in Faking The Shot, the first book in The Crawford Family Playbook series. This story is packed with grumpy/sunshine dynamics, sizzling chemistry, and emotional depth, making it a must-read for fans of sports romance.
After a difficult divorce, the last thing Valentine wants is another entanglement, especially with a reckless, grumpy hockey player who thrives on chaos. As a PR strategist, she’s determined to do her job, clean up Kaden Crawford’s image, and move on—no feelings, no complications. But when the best solution turns out to be staging a fake relationship, what starts as an act quickly turns into something neither of them can control.
From staged kisses to stolen moments that feel too real, the boundaries between pretend and reality blur, leaving both characters questioning their emotions. Kaden may be the league’s biggest PR disaster, but beneath the gruff exterior and sharp wit is a man battling his own demons. Valentine is independent, strong, and fiercely determined not to fall for him, but resisting the slow-building tension and undeniable chemistry proves harder than expected.
Kendall Hale balances laugh-out-loud banter, heartfelt emotion, and red-hot attraction, making this a story that’s impossible to put down. The character development is flawless, with Kaden evolving from a broody troublemaker to a hero who protects what he cares about, and Valentine proving that vulnerability and strength can coexist. Their relationship unfolds at the perfect pace, delivering just the right amount of angst, swoon, and spice.
With a compelling romance, witty dialogue, and an addictive fake-dating setup, Faking The Shot is a standout in the hockey romance genre. If you love grumpy heroes with hidden soft spots, fiercely independent heroines, and fake dating that turns all too real, this book is for you. Fans of Icebreaker by Hannah Grace and The Deal by Elle Kennedy will devour this one.
