Review: Tomboy

Tomboy by Avery Flynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Perfect if you are looking for a cute sports rom-com.

Fallon Hartigan is a nurse. She is roped into helping Ice Knights defenseman Zach Blackburn when he gets a dose of the flu by her BFF. They have already met but she found him rude and obnoxious. Plus, as a rabid fan, she like most of Harbor City hates his guts because since he joined the team he has played really badly.

Zach doesn't trust anyone, he has no friends, not since his parents and so-called managers swindled him out of most of his money and took out loans at terrible rates in his name. Now he's paying down a mountain of debt, reliant on the Knights to pay for his accommodation and unwilling to trust anyone.

As a reluctant thank you for looking after him while he was ill Zach gives Fallon rink-side seats for his next game - and the Kings win! Now, because all hockey players are rabidly superstitious, the press are dubbing her 'Lady Luck' and Zach wants her at all his home games. So they strike a deal, Fallon will watch his games if he makes some personal appearances at fund-raisers for a local charity that Fallon supports.

This was funny and sweet and full of grumpy hockey players, loud families, snark and hockey. I loved it just as much as the first two books in the series.
