~**~ RELEASE BLITZ for Delivery Girl (Minnesota Ice #1) by Lily Kate w/ Review~**~
***4 ‘Smiley Face Pizzas’ Stars***
When you read the description to a book and you start to smile before you’re even done reading, it’s a pretty good sign that you should give that book a try and see what happens and that’s just what I did and thoroughly enjoyed it. Delivery Girl is a fun, sexy RomCom that’s light on the drama but filled with a lot of heart and characters that you’ll laugh with, and at, all while falling in love with them.
Andi is working at her father’s pizza parlor while she is finishing up college and working on making her dream career become a reality. She’s sweet, funny, has a self deprecating sense of humor and is a hard worker. She’s also a bit spastic and lets her mind run away from her at times, which leads her totally bypass her edit button and blurt things out without realizing it, but that little quirk made her all the more loveable even when I was shaking my head at the things she’d freak out about.
Ryan is a rising hockey star at a crossroads in his career and is looking to make a deal that could take him to the next level. Ryan is just that good guy that you want to take home to meet the parents, who just happens to be smexy as hell. He’s sweet, funny, extremely determined and has that alpha male vibe and charisma in spades.
Andi and Ryan’s journey to their HEA was filled with lots of laughter and swoon worthy moments. While things between them do happen quickly, and are moved forward by some interesting means, there is that spark, that connection between them that makes it work. They are both fascinated by the other and find that they have more in common than they knew. What I loved most about their relationship is that even when they danced around the fact that they were falling in love with each other, they didn’t hide their attraction to each other or the fact that they really did like each other as friends and wanted more time together. The bumps in the road were realistic, one I wanted to bitch slap, but I loved how they figured everything out in the end.
The writing was engaging, the story was well paced and the dual 1st person POV was well done. The characters were all well written and I loved how each had their own quirks and personalities. Although this falls under sports romance, there isn’t any hockey playing in it, more the stuff that goes on off the ice, but it didn’t take away from the story at all because what Ryan and Andi got up to on their own totally made up for it. This is the author’s debut novel and I thought she did a wonderful job with it and I’m looking forward to seeing what she has in store for in the future!

Good things come in extra-large, smoking hot packages.
The very pizzas that I deliver for my dad’s restaurant, Peretti’s Pizza. It’s a temporary job, something to pay the bills until I graduate from school, but it does the trick. In fact, it's working quite well until Ryan Pierce of the Minnesota Stars decides to order a pizza from me, and life as I know it turns upside down.
You see, Ryan Pierce doesn’t just open his front door. He opens it buck naked. And suddenly, I’m not the one boasting the biggest, hottest package in the room. However, it’s what happens next that gives me butterflies whenever my phone beeps. Ryan starts to call, and then text, and then fifteen pizza deliveries and one fantastic night later, we’re friends with benefits.
So when he asks me to be his fake girlfriend at his brother’s wedding, I’m happy to help. But the longer we pretend, the more I worry that this is one package I might not be able to handle.
