Why marriage of convenience works on the ice

It is fake dating with higher stakes. A marriage involves lawyers, families and a shared address, so walking away is much harder than ending a pretend fling.

Pro hockey adds a reason for the deal to make sense. Players cross borders for work, carry public reputations and have money worth protecting.

This is a smaller group, so the books here tend to be easy to find favorites in. Look for slow burn, forced proximity and a lot of arguments about whose turn it is to do the dishes.

Readers who love these books often reach for forced proximity hockey romance, fake dating hockey romance and opposites attract hockey romance next. You can also browse every hockey romance trope or go back to the full hockey romance directory.

New to the genre? Wikipedia covers the history of the romance novel and how a game of ice hockey works.
