When my grown kids hook me up with a fake date to my ex-hubby's tropical island nuptials, I expect sun, sand, and plenty of fruity cocktails - not steamy nights with a shirtless pro hockey player!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoman might be all swagger on the ice, but this growly, egotistical male model of perfection has a soft side too. While I battle dresses made for twenty-somethings, awkward run-ins with my ex, and unwelcome hot flashes, Roman is there to distract me with flirty compliments, stay up late with me when I can't sleep, and make me feel vibrant and ageless.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs good as it feels, none of this is real, and Roman is \u003cem\u003eway\u003c\/em\u003e out of my league.
