Book Synopsis



A football star and his team's die-hard fan find themselves entangled in a PR stunt--that only one side knows is fake--but it might just be the right play...

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.

Connor & Duffy

I’m giving this a 4 outta 5 star simply because the Lords name was used in vain multiple times and I dislike stories that cause me to also say the Lords name in vain or where I have to skip over dialogue because I refuse to say out loud or in my head something that it wrong. Loved the story out side of that but also feel like the ending was rushed. Lynn, please find other phrases or words to use in future books, God is not pawn you can use for your books.
