Broke and desperate, Sugar Ryan has no use for arrogant, bad boy athletes . . . until she’s forced to bargain with the cockiest of them all.
If only he knew she was alive.
Her mission? Get on this hockey player’s radar any way possible.
Zack Morgan is the king of the ice and the bedroom—but nothing prepares him for the mystery girl who shows up everywhere he does—frat parties, his favorite bar, and finally his front door with an offer he can’t refuse. The only rule in her boyfriend bargain: no falling in love.
But after one smoking-hot hook-up, he’s done with pretending and vows to make their fake relationship real. Too bad she can’t trust a player with a reputation for breaking hearts.
Will this hockey star score his forever girl or will their Boyfriend Bargain end in heartbreak?
Review:
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Boyfriend Bargain was a good book, but not one of my favorites from Ilsa Madden-Mills. It's a complete stand-alone, but I would like to see some of the secondary characters getting their own books. The characters acted as one would expect for their age, but I felt like Sugar was sometimes a different person from the one we knew, like she had 2 different personalities. As I was reading the book, I realized that Sugar's name was a very weird choice for a name and it was more fitting for a strip club, rather than a name you give to your child (Sorry Sugars of the world). Z's character had a lot of depth and I liked how he seemed so perfect at first, but we found out that he was not the person everyone thought he was. No one would have guessed that he has panic attacks for example or that the manwhore reputation he has is not completely true. For me, the book had some good moments and some not so good, but the good were more than the bad and that's why I am giving a good rating to the book.
