Goodreads

A hockey team captain and a bubbly staffer mix business with pleasure when they start fake dating through the wedding season in this hot sports romance perfect for fans of Mariana Zapata​ and Elle Kennedy.
Darcy Kendrick is used to putting out fires. As an overworked admin to a hockey team, she’s seen it all. But nothing prepares her for accidentally DMing her very private, very NSFW fantasy to the subject of this fantasy: team captain Eric Tremaine. Nobody actually dies of embarrassment. Right?

But when a wedding invite puts them on a collision course with her chaotic family and his emotionally fraught past, Eric suggests a plan: they fake-date their way through the “Wedding Experience.” It’s mutually beneficial. Totally strategic. And definitely not real. Except between mini tacos, slow dances and lingering glances, Eric starts to wonder if the sharp-tongued assistant with a bottomless to-do list might be the one person who truly sees him. And for Darcy? The fire in her heart might be the only one she can’t put out.

It’s supposed to be fake. It’s supposed to be temporary. So why is it so hard to walk away?

Girl sends boy a NSFW fantasy…by accident. Poor Darcy didn’t mean to DM her fantasy to her secret crush, but its all out there now! Oh, and the crush, Eric, just happens to be the captain of the hockey team she works for. Now things are extra awkward. Big Stick Energy is a fun rom-com vibe thats entertaining and endearing!

I liked Darcy-she’s sharp and good at her job, despite being often overlooked. Eric’s attention is now focused on her after her social media mishap. So, they enter a faking dating agreement to get through a wedding. Should be no problem! Except then it turns into real flirting, which turns into real dating. But, now they want to keep that a secret. I mean, she works in administration for the hockey team he plays for and this could be messy. Their relationship is good for both of them, so you really want them to work it out!

Big Stick Energy reintroduces characters from book 1 (Thrown for a Loop) but you don’t have to read it first (but you will want to because its awesome)!
