ABOUT THE BOOK: 

Duffy Distefano loves three things: her dad, the family cat, and Minneapolis Coyotes football. So when she gets booed out of a game and becomes the internet’s villain, she is distraught—and disgruntled. All she did was shove Coyote Carl away when he made a move on her, but everyone else just saw a woman attacking their team’s beloved mascot. Eager to clear the air, Duffy agrees to an interview on a hit morning show. She doesn’t expect a co-guest to join her—especially not the Coyotes’ star tight end.

 

When MVP Connor Cunningham gets tasked with damage control to help his team out of their PR nightmare, he thought that meant saying a few words on the team’s behalf. Instead, he finds himself in a highly amusing verbal sparring match with a recently wronged fan on live TV. Duffy pelts him with fiery jabs but is also clearly diehard about the Coyotes—color him intrigued…and attracted.

 

The interview instantly goes viral, and the public is obsessed with them. A strong push from the Coyotes’ PR team to ride the wave results in Connor asking Duffy out. Despite his distaste for PR stunts, he’s surprised to discover being with Duffy is much easier than he thought, and somehow it doesn’t feel fake to him. Harboring this secret can only blow up, but all he knows is that if he messes things up with Duffy, it’ll be the greatest fumble of his life.

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARC Review 

From  the very beginning  I was captivated that prologue was heartbreaking and set the pace on my emotions throughout the story if I thought that was the heavy part buckle up because Salt was a wild ride. 

I really loved this one, it was just a captivating as sweat but different both are amazing stories but I felt this one was a bit heavier on the emotional level. Dane was a such interesting character for me at first he was this somewhat annoying but also intriguing character all those emotional scars he carried where heartbreaking to read, the way he was treated since he was a kid was definitely hard to read but it made you understand the character better. And Connor what can I say he was such a great character, the confusion he felt towards Dane but also the pull he felt towards him was amazing to read. The writing was so good, the author was able  balance the angst and the spice perfectly. But one thing I did notice is towards the end some parts felt rushed especially in Dane case but other than that it was an amazing story and a great follow up to Sweat. Can’t wait for what’s next on the series because the title is already so good.
