About the Book

MAVERICK:

As the star defensive end for the Boston Blizzard, I pride myself on keeping my nose clean and my head in the game. I’m a no-nonsense kind of guy, but when I’m approached to fake date the world’s biggest popstar to stir up publicity for her halftime performance at the biggest game of the year, I throw caution to the wind and agree to the crazy plan. But when I get to know the real Bella Simon, the one she doesn’t show to the rest of the world, my feelings for her quickly start to become something very real.

BELLA:

For the last ten years, I’ve toured the world, performing for millions of adoring fans. And while my life looks flashy and exciting from the outside, the reality is anything but. The friends I have are all for show, and at twenty-four years old, my busy schedule has prevented me from ever going on a proper date. So, when my publicist tells me the hottest pro football player to ever exist will be my fake boyfriend, I decide to enjoy the ride. I try to keep reminding myself that none of it is real, but my heart isn’t getting the message. Because I can’t seem to stop myself from falling for him...even though I know our whirlwind romance is just a stunt.

Review

The Stunt was a short, run, and sweet romance. Going in I was hesitant because I did not want this book to be heavily influenced by a certain real-life romance between a mega pop star and a football player. Luckily, the author was able to make these characters her own and not make them feel like poor copies of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

One thing that I loved about the main characters—Bella and Maverick, was that they were very nice and humble. For such a short book, there were several instances of them being great humans. That heightened my enjoyment, and it made their love story feel sweet and cuddly.

Another thing about this book is that it didn’t feel rushed. It felt longer than what it was—in a good one. There were good character moments and time for Bella and Maverick to grow comfortable with each other and build this love that they ultimately find.

Final Thoughts

The Stunt is short; however, the author did craft a fun, entertaining, and sweet romance that will entertain readers the entire book.
