Jude Bessonette is living his dream. After years of toiling in the lower ranks, he's finally landed a roster spot with the Detroit Cougars. Playing for one of the most storied franchises in the NHL means he has to stay on top of his game - no distractions allowed. But when he finds his personal assistant doing a Goldilocks in his bed... who wouldn't be distracted?Brynn Cates didn't mean to get caught squatting in her boss’s apartment—he was supposed to be on vacation for the next six weeks. Now she's probably getting fired from the best job she's ever had on top of being broke and homeless.But he doesn't fire her, and instead of throwing her out, he insists she stay in his guest room. Which solves one of her problems, but oh, she’s got more. Like trying to pretend she only sees him as a boss/temporary roommate when all she wants is to ride his mustache to O Town—for the rest of their lives.Jude knows he can't date his assistant—at best it's an optics problem, at worst a PR nightmare that could derail his career. But he likes Brynn, and not just because he wants her thighs wrapped around his head more than he wants to win a Norris trophy. He could see forever with her…if the whole boss/employee thing wasn’t in the way.He wants her. She wants him. She doesn’t want to lose her job. He doesn’t want to mess up his career. Lust isn’t enough. But is love?

At its core, this is a boss/assistant story, where they've always had the hots for each other, but finally give in. For a series that started with Stuffed, this final book is surprisingly tame. Unless, perhaps, you're very into a man with a mustache, because the mustache is as integral part of the spice.
I liked the hijinks angles - the dog sitting, the borrowing the boss's apartment while he's away. And I liked the visit from the main couple in Stuffed.
It felt like there were external plot factors (his agent, issues with payroll) that wanted to be more developed, but the scope of the story didn't allow it.
It's pretty short, it's got fun spice, and some hockey romance flavor. A good time overall.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
