About the book

Mason Reed doesn’t get distracted. Hockey is his only focus—until Riley decides to use him as a weapon. Tired of being Hudson Blake’s convenient option, Riley fakes a relationship with the one guy Hudson truly hates: Mason. The deal is simple—no feelings, no promises, just strategic jealousy. The problem? Mason agrees. And pretending comes with real kisses, lingering looks, and a closeness that stops feeling like an act. While Hudson reacts too late, Mason is the first to stop pretending—and Riley may discover he’s the only one who won’t leave her out of the game.

    Ugh, I'm boiling with frustration and anger. I'm so annoyed that both the dean and the coach turned the meeting into something that casts doubt on Ryle, all because of the lies of that snake Hudson.

    Narcissists, abusers, and manipulators are the worst. What a great narration and the climax of the plot is captivating, I love it.

    I'm so sorry for Reily, what a manipulative and shameless person Huhson is, he has no conscience, he will pay dearly for it, amazing chapter as always, thank you, and it left me wanting more, a big kiss

    Hudson is a manipulative narcissist and, as such, turns the situation to his favor and manages to make people believe him (or at least doubt Riley). June was surely threatened by him; the fear in her eyes and the trembling of her hands give it away. The coach and the dean will regret believing him, but I hope it’s not too late when that happens.

    Oh, damn that wretched Hudson, always getting his way, and I can already imagine the methods he used to get June to support him. But the redeeming part of all this is that Riley will come out stronger, and she has Mason and Tessa who will always be there to support her. This will help her grow a lot, and just the fact that she realizes she needs help is a huge step forward.

    Time to show our claws because this scoundrel deserves a lesson and to be unmasked.

    That Hudson is detestable and I hope his downfall is very, very, but very good, there’s nothing to forgive.

    Thank you for leaving that feeling of peace... Because they both deserve it, because after this, a fierce battle will come, to uncover the truth. And thank you for including someone who accompanies, who listens, and who gives you that necessary space when you need it... Understanding Riley has been confusing, just like their emotions, but finding that voice and finally having the determination to break something that is wrong is brave, and even more so to admit out loud that you need psychological help. Note: Riley: in the world of animation, exists in the movie about emotions.

    I hope the mother doesn't decide they have to move again.
