The Wingman

🌶️ Spice Level: 7/10

Description:
Darcy Andersen is newly single, painfully shy and determined to rebuild her confidence after years of being with the wrong guy. Luckily, her best friend Hayden Owens—the confident, charming star defenseman for the Vancouver Storm—is more than willing to help. Hayden agrees to become Darcy's dating coach, teaching her how to flirt, date and finally feel comfortable in her own skin. But when their lessons turn into practice kisses, shared beds and increasingly intimate encounters, the line between friendship and something more starts to disappear. Hayden has always followed one rule: no attachments. Yet watching Darcy date other men brings out a jealousy he can no longer hide. With friends-to-lovers, hockey romance, dating coach, roommates, forced proximity, mutual pining, friends-with-benefits, a shy heroine and a confident, supportive hero, The Wingman is a funny, steamy and feel-good romance packed with banter, chemistry and plenty of tension. Reviews:
Readers praise The Wingman for its genuine friendship, playful chemistry and slow-building romantic tension between Darcy and Hayden. Their established friendship gives the romance a strong emotional foundation, while Hayden's supportive, encouraging nature makes him a particularly lovable hero. The book contains multiple explicit open-door scenes, with the spice becoming more prominent as the story progresses, including plenty of flirtation, sexual tension and intimate exploration. Readers who enjoy hockey romance, friends-to-lovers, roommates, mutual pining, dating lessons, forced proximity and a sweet, confident hero may particularly enjoy this one.
