Title: Empty Net
Series: Seattle Serpents
Author: Teagan Hunter
Release Date: April 10, 2025
I have two goals this season:
1. Stop enough pucks to get the Seattle Serpents to the playoffs.
2. Don’t fall for my fake fiancée.
When Lilah Maddison’s mother keeps trying to set her up on dates she’s not interested in, she blurts out that she’s already seeing someone. The problem? She’s single.
So, I step in to help and agree to pretend to be her boyfriend for an event. But when things go awry, we’re no longer just dating—we’re engaged. Now, I have to find a way to keep her family off her back and our team in a playoff spot, all without falling in love with Lilah, which seems more impossible with each passing day.
She’s funny, driven, drop-dead gorgeous, and not afraid to make the first move. I know we’re playing a dangerous game, yet I can’t stop myself from having feelings I definitely shouldn’t be having, especially not for my fake fiancée.
It’s my job to block, make saves, and keep the puck out of my own net, but this might be one match I can’t win…and I might not want to.
I have been feeling a bit down lately, so I was glad to get Empty Net bc Teagan's books always make me kick-my-feet-giddy.
Fox is the goalie for Seattle Serpents and he has two goals this season: to help get Seattle Serpents to the playoffs and not fall for his fake fiancee.
When Lilah's mother keeps trying to set Lilah up on dates she doesn't want she blurts out she's seeing someone despite being single. So fox steps in & agrees to be her fake-boyfriend. But what was supposed to be one fake-date ended up being a fake-engagement and now Fox and Lilah may be in over their heads. The rules were simple - don't fall in love - but what happens when the lines become blurred? The relationship may be fake but the feelings are real.
So, as always, I loved Teagan's book. They always make me swoon and laugh out loud.
Fox was a sweet southern gentleman - who is more than just the goalie. He is a cinnamon roll & would do anything for his friends - like agree to a fake engagement to get their parents off their back.
Lilah is driven, funny, and so much more. She may be trying to figure out what to do with her life after Auden sold the hotel where she worked with her, but she isn't afraid to speak her mind - except to her parents, which is what landed her in needing a fake boyfriend in the first place.
This book was cute, and funny and had me swooning. I loved every second of it & loved Fox and Lilah's relationship. I loved how both characters had quirks but each accepted the other's effortlessly - without question. The this book may have had some heavy topics (emotional abuse from parents) the character does stand up to them & cut ties with them to get their HEA. It was sweet with some steam & the perfect read, and I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hi, I’m Teagan!
I write steamy romantic comedies with lots of sarcasm and a side of heart. I love pizza, hockey, and romance novels, though not in that order. When not writing, you can find me watching entirely too many hours of Supernatural, One Tree Hill, or New Girl. I’m mildly obsessed with Halloween and prefer cooler weather. I married my high school sweetheart, and we currently live in the PNW.
