No Time Like Forever (Wardham, #6)It started with a kiss... 

Mari Beadie needed a boyfriend, and former NHL hockey star Chase Miller happened to be in the right place at the right time. The kiss that followed wasn't necessary, strictly speaking, but it sure was hot.

Hot enough that when the tables are turned, Chase knows just the pretty bartender to ask to be his pretend girlfriend. Only this time, it's not a one-time deal.

The pub was slammed, strange for a Sunday night, but it was one of the last weekends of the summer. The tips would make up for the sore feet.
Mari was pouring a tray of pints when the phone rang. She hopped over and stuck the ancient handset under her ear, pinning it in place as she pulled the long cord back to the taps with her.
“Danny’s.”
“You sound busy.”
Her heart didn’t leap a little at the sound of his voice. No, it didn’t. “Yep.”
“What time do you get off?”
“We close at ten tonight, then I need to do some clean up. Probably ten thirty, but I’m not sure.”
“Okay. See you later.”
She frowned as she hung up the phone. Two hours later, she was still confused when he sauntered in after last call. Instead of taking his regular stool, he started straightening chairs.
“What are you doing?”
“Helping you.”
“Why?”
“Because that’s what boyfriends do?”
She looked around. They were alone. “Uhm…”
“Because that’s what friends do?” He shrugged. “Don’t overthink it. I actually just wanted to give you my cell phone number, but when I called you sounded swamped, so I thought it would be easier to stop by. And I’m not going to watch you sweep, that would be a dick move.”
“You watch me tend bar almost every day.”
“That’s different.”
“How?”
“I don’t know. Give me that.” He took the broom from her hand, and she ignored the little thrill she got at the brief, hot press of his fingers against hers.

HUBBY'S REVIEW:
This is a fun story about a bar maid named Mari who waits on mister grumpy Chase. Chase is back in town recovering from a car accident that ended his pro hockey career. He surprises her one day by helping out when an old flame shows up and he kisses her which she did not expect and then he starts showing up at closing to help her clean up because that is what boyfriends do. She really does not know what to make of everything but because of their being together he is actually working on moving out of his parents’ home and stopping to feel sorry for himself. She is still working on her music and her songs and her singing are getting better they are good for each other now can they just work past there other issues and make it work? This is a fun and emotional story at times, but overall a very good story and I like the characters very much. A very good book. I got this book from net galley.   I give this 4 stars.
