Bella Matthews scores with THE SWEET SPOT (Playing to Win #4). Revolution physical therapist Brynlee St. James had a crush on Deacon Kane as a teenager. Now he is a single dad and the team’s new General Manager. They agree to a fake marriage to help Deacon get custody of his daughter.
Bella Matthews does a great job with this story. The characters are dimensional. The couple face numerous obstacles, including the fact that Brynlee’s family owns the Revolution, and that she is keeping a secret. The story is entertaining and thought provoking.
This is the first book that I have read in the Playing to Win series. I now want to read the rest of the books in the series. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
From USA Today and Amazon Bestselling Author Bella Matthews, comes a hot new hockey coach, single dad, marriage of convenience, small town romance.
A fake marriage with a single dad wasn't on my dance card but there are worse ways to start the summer.
Our story didn’t begin the night I agreed to marry Deacon Kane to help him keep his daughter. It started ten years ago, with a hotshot hockey player I couldn’t wait to see each summer. He was big, broad, and filled out his board shorts so damn nicely. But holy hell… The memories of teenage Deacon don’t hold a candle to the man he is now, the one who makes me melt each time he says, "my wife."
What was supposed to be a marriage of convenience quickly spirals into something else. Something I can’t control. Because this man makes me feel alive in a way I haven’t felt in months, and I want more.
More sparks. More life. More time.
Can a relationship based on lies last… Especially when I’m the one keeping all the secrets?

Excerpt
“We shouldn’t do this, Miss Brenner. You work for me.” The words feel like acid leaving my mouth as everything south of it rebels at the idea of rejecting her. But I refuse to be the guy who takes advantage of the situation. She untangles her hands from the front of my shirt and runs them up my forearms. Her fingers trace the lines of my tattoo. Her dark-purple nails are a stark contrast to her pale skin. Nails that would feel amazing scouring my back once we’re both stripped of our clothes. “I do work for you, Mr. Kingston. And you know what the one good thing my piece-of-shit father did for me was?” Without giving me a chance to answer, she leans closer, bringing her lips to the shell of my ear and dropping her voice. “He gave me a twelve-month contract. You can’t fire me for an entire year. We might as well have some fun. I promise you, nothing needs to change. You’ll still drive me crazy Monday morning.” “I’m not looking for a girlfriend, Daphne.” She’s saying all the right things. But when something seems too good to be true, it usually is. “Good. Because the last thing I need is someone else who thinks they have a say over the way I live, Max. I’ve had enough of that to last a lifetime.”Her eyes dance between mine. “And I’m not looking for it now.” I move closer, erasing any space between us. “Are you sure?” My entire body riots at the idea that she could change her mind. But I ask it anyway because it’s the right thing to do. Daphne nods her head with a beautiful smile on her lips. “Words, Miss Brenner. I need to hear the words.” Excitement is hot. But consent is fucking sexy. Her fingers tighten on my arms. “I’m sure, Mr. Kingston. Now get me out of here.” I reach into my pocket and pull three-hundred-dollar bills from my wallet and throw them on the bar. “Hey, Sawyer.” I wait for him to look up. “Can you tell Becks to catch an Uber back?” Sawyer looks between Daphne and me and raises a brow. “Yeah. I’ve got ya covered.” I frame Daphne’s face in both my hands. “Do you need to text your friends?” “I’ll do it from the car.” “No, baby. You’re going to be doing other things in the car. Text your friends.”
Author Bio
About Bella Bella Matthews is a Jersey girl at heart. She is married to her very own Alpha Male and raising three little ones. You can typically find her running from one sporting event to another. When she is home, she is usually hiding in her home office with the only other female in her house, her rescue dog Tinker Bell by her side. She likes to write swoon-worthy heroes and sassy, smart heroines with a healthy dose of laughter thrown in.
Bella Matthews soars with FALLEN KING (Restless Kings #3). In this story, Daphne Brenner’s dream of one day running the charity of the Philadelphia Revolution hockey team is smashed when her father blind sides her by selling the organization that has been owned by her family for generations. One stipulation for the sale of the team is that her position as the executive assistant to the CEO stays intact for a year. Now she works for, Max Kingston, the oldest Kingston sibling, and new President of Operations for the Revolution.
I adored this story. Max and Daphne are wonderful characters. They are both driven and have amazing chemistry. My heart went out to Daphne and the position her father put her in. Max is a strong hero who wants to carve his own legacy. The plot was solid, and story was skillfully written. I love Max’s family. They are entertaining.
Max’s family also owns the Philadelphia Kings football team. I love that Daphne lives with Carys and Declan Sinclair. Declan is the quarterback of the Kings, so that causes some interesting drama.
This is the first book that I have read by Bella Matthews. After reading this book, I want to read the previous books in the Restless Kings and The Kings of Kroydon Hills series. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
He stole my legacy, and now he holds the key to my future.
