In the heart of the Big Easy, Victoria “Tori” Strauss has it all together—almost. As the poised and efficient social media manager for the beloved New Orleans Mystic hockey team, she's a seasoned pro at captivating the hearts of fans. But her own heart? That's a different story.
Six years ago, a chance encounter with the enigmatic alpha Spencer Black started with passion and instant chemistry, but ended in heartbreak when he left without a word to chase his dreams with the San Francisco Wardens. Now, he's been traded to his hometown team, and their paths are about to collide once more. Tori's anger simmers just beneath the surface as she's forced to confront the man who once shattered her world.
Determined to make Spencer regret his decision, Tori turns her attention to two other players, Oliver Astrauckas and Elijah Jokinson—both charismatic and enticing alphas in their own right. But as she dives into a whirlwind of secret relationships and heated encounters, Tori finds herself doing the one thing she vowed never to do: fall for a hockey player. Can she truly let go of the past and open her heart to new possibilities? And when the time comes, will she have the courage to choose between her dream career and the unexpected, passionate love that awaits her?
In this sizzling tale of love, second chances, and the ultimate choice, every goal, every play, and every stolen kiss could change the game forever.
Crossing The Top Line is the first book in the Pack Mystic series, starting as MMMF but with growth in the future. This book is intended for listeners 18+ and contains mature subjects. Please see the author's note at the start for more information on specific subjects and themes depicted.

The first intimate scene in this reverse harem is all about swords that cross. 🍆⚔️🍆 Yes!
I love that Oliver "Oli" Astrauckas and Elijah (Eli, Joker) Jokinson's established, albeit closeted, relationship gets to take center stage before the intimacies expand. I love seeing them together. They are a great team on and off the ice.
Victoria “Tori” Strauss has a past that includes some baggage with Spencer "BlackJack" Black. I like the bits of drama here and there that it causes. I love that when things turn sideways, Spencer is right there to help in any way he either can or she'll let him.
As I'm not hooked into the Omegaverse world as much as some, I'm still sorting out some of the nuances, like heat (I get the general gist as I do have pets) and the break she experienced six years prior. The speculative type things are more window dressing to the heart of this story about fluid relationships in an exclusive group that is open to so many possibilities. Reading and listening to the journey they take together and apart was worth every moment of my time. I love what they are building, and where they seem to be heading. All I can say is, "Put me in, Coach. I'm ready to play!" 😉 (Possibly foretelling?)
I read along with the audio book. The narrators, Phillipa Miller and James Amherst, are terrific. I love the accents and overall delivery.
The two narrators do have different cadences which led to me reducing my listening speed a little. It was tough finding the right balance initially. Once I did, I wanted time to stand still so I could focus entirely on them.
I do wish I had known that this was part of a trilogy before I started. I'm not disappointed exactly, but the series is incomplete at the time of this review, so I have to stretch it out. The character development was terrific, and I started to suspect that this wasn't a standalone about halfway through. I do look forward to the next chapter in their budding romance and growing polycule!

I enjoyed this book despite finding it problematic at times. There was no Omegaverse world-building despite it having several unusual details that set it apart from the typical Omegaverse. Packs don't seem to be normal. Oli and Eli were closeted, although there was another player who was in an open same-sex marriage. Why? Tori's interrupted heat caused BH issues, including intrusive thoughts and self-harming tendencies. What is this? Spencer and Tori are both conveniently also bi but it's never mentioned until the end, and Spencer even seemed confused with his reactions towards his housemate's bodies. All of this needed better fleshing out. Also, the name Mystic. There is a Mobile Mystick minor league hockey team, plus a very popular WNBA team with the name. Could have been better thought out.
I loved the characters and most of their interactions with Tori's mini-heat being the exception. I liked the emotional bonds and friendships. It was a fun, easy read. I do think it could have been even better if it had been a standalone. It could have been edited down, and the pacing improved and made complete.
Phillipa Miller and James Amherst handled the narrator's duties for this story. They were wonderful, making it sound like a full cast. They brought this story to life beautifully. I was impressed with their versatility. Kudos to both!

Crossing the Top Line is book one in the Pack Mystic series. This is a hockey omegaverse romance. Tori is the new social media manager for the New Orleans Mystics NHL team. I love when a good hockey romance and omegaverses. This book is the best of both worlds. Love getting the multiple POVs from all the characters. Tori and Spencer were lovers in the past. She has gotten her heart broken once before. I can't wait to see what happen in the next book!
Phillipa Miller and James Amherst did a fantastic job narrating this book.
