Threatened withdismissal from her journalist's job, Bailey Stoddart needs a miracle. If shescoops some dirt from visiting Olympic gold medal rower Connor Freeman she shouldbe safe.
But Connor doesn't giveinterviews. The euphoria from his Olympic win has faded and left him flat. Ifhe can't regain his enthusiasm before training resumes he'll lose his place inthe crew. Even though Bailey's a nosy newshound, she does love the sport. Couldshe revive his lost passion? A deal perhaps: an interview from him, a weekend posingas his girlfriend from her.
Their unexpectedfriendship is jeopardised by a past mistake thatcould destroy everything. How can he persuade her to stay now? Or has thisbecome an even greater challenge than winning that Olympic gold medal?
To start with, I very rarely write a bad review, but... I really couldn't get into this book. I have a strong personality and expect at least one character in a book to have one as well. Neither one did in this book. The idea behind the book was very good, that being said, the male lead was the most selfish, weak person I have read in a long time. The female lead was almost as bad. Neither had the strength to stand one their own two feet. Sorry, but three stars was very generous for me.
Thoroughly recommended and loved the characters of Connor and Bailey with starting off as a fake relationship and going through their ups and downs as a couple. I subscribed to Jena's newsletter and got to read Accidental Hero which is Pete and Michelle's story (a prequel to this series).
