About this listen

Ollie:

Word of advice: Don't come out to random guys in public restrooms. Even if they're charming and adorably nerdy and offer to help.

My family believes I can't be happy if I'm not out to the world. I have a bitter ex-boyfriend and an unstable NHL career to show for it. A fake boyfriend seems like an easy and quick solution to get my family off my back, and this guy is volunteering. I take him up on it without asking his name.

I really should've asked for his name.

Lennon:

Word of advice: Learn how to introduce yourself properly. In my defense, I don't recognize Ollie Strömberg right away. I cover football, not hockey. I'm not supposed to see him again, and he's never supposed to find out I'm a reporter. That all changes when my editor reassigns me.

It's a lesson I should've learned by now. Nothing's changed since high school. Jocks still hate nerds. But even worse, athletes hate journalists. Especially ones who know their secret.

Contains mature themes.

Funny, relaxing and well written

This is one of my favourite books. The story is funny, no matter how many times I listen it I alway laugh out loud which is a bit embarrassing, when I'm doing it in public. :D The characters are funny, sometimes awkward (like in real life) and capable to learn and improve themselves. The narrators were able to catch the character's personality. I can just recommend this book to everyone.

enjoyed it

Would I listen to it again: yes
Did the story keep me engaged: yes
Was I invested in the characters: yes

Delightfully entertaining, I think of the series, this one is my favorite. Can't go wrong with the Hocky God and the Nerdy Journalist, this one felt lighter than the others and I enjoyed Ollie and Lennon's dynamic.

Narration comment: Both narrators are terrific on their own and do a great job on their respective characters chapters, but in my opinion dual narration is unnecessary for a M/M book. Either narrator would have been an excellent choice for the entire book, both narrators are excellent voice actors but I didn't like having 2 different voices for each character (it felt like there were 4 main characters instead of 2).

3.5 stars

Pretty good! Not the best, but worth the listen. I really liked both MCs. It was a bit slow at times, but ultimately I liked it.

Opposites attract

I love this crew of friends. I adore Ollie, he is such a sweetheart, his & Lennon’s chemistry is great. I love how they work so hard to stay within technicalities. The friendship between them is sweet, I really like how they stand up for each other, and are totally gone for each other. This was another amazing story.

A hockey player and sports reporter... walk into a bar

Love; Love Love Ollie and Lennon! my favorite of the series, but seriously these two are freaking adorable by themselves AND together. Ollie's family is hilarious and the relationship of these guys with the others (in the series) is great. Found family groups are one of my favorite things in interconnected series and this series is among the best.
Iggy Toma and Alexander Cendese do a fantastic job with the narration as well. They are easy to listen to and do the story justice.

This Was a Fun Read

Totally laughed out loud
at the witty banter between the main characters and Ollie and his family. The narrators did a good job, though I have to admit I really get frustrated with Iggy and his constant slip into a wimpy Southern drawl.

Ending was abrupt

This series has been outstanding. The narration and storyline are good. My only note is that each book tends to end so abruptly the book does not feel complete.

A Clever Romance!

Sweet and clever romance, with a great meet-cute. Loads of goofy side characters, mostly Ollie's unique family, and their mutual friend Jet. There's a lot going on in this fast moving story, and the pace is sped up with Alexander Cendese and Iggy Toma's narration. Cendese didn't win any extra points from me with his Bostonian accent, but I haven't heard an audiobook narrator yet who could pull it off.

Entertaining

It was funny and cute. Loved how we see the story of them being together instead of too many scenes by themselves. It made it progress more naturally vs other books.

I love the narrators

Cute story. I like seeing the other characters from the series and enjoy the narrators take. Sweet with a little spice.
