About this listen
Rylan Keller is dreading the start of spring semester. After choosing a college across the country and spending the past fall abroad, she’ll be a Holt University student. Worse than starting over at a new school? Starting over at a new school where your dad is the head coach of the men’s hockey team. And reluctantly agreeing to tutor a player, then coming face-to-face with the guy you thought you’d never see again.
Aidan Phillips has a reputation on campus. One he’s carefully curated to include limited reliability or responsibility. Outside of hockey, he spends his free time drinking, partying, and flirting. Often all three.
He’s a player off the ice as well as on it. Gorgeous, carefree, reckless. His one goal is to finally win Holt a championship, which he can only do if he keeps up his end of the tutoring arrangement. Hooking up with his tutor would be stupider than failing in the first place, even if the tutor in question wasn’t his coach’s daughter.
Rylan is determined to excel at Holt and make her fresh start a success. To finally have some fun, and not with a hockey player. Except, the more time they spend together, the harder it is to hold back.
But no matter how tempting giving in might be…the odds are stacked against them.

Story
A lot can happen on a two-week trip to the Canadian wilderness. Auden Harmon learns her parents’ marriage is officially over. Expected. Accidentally gifts a five-hundred-dollar pen to a stranger. Unexpected. Neither event wreaks havoc on her life quite like meeting Elliot Reid does. He has eyes the color of the cloudy sky. A slapshot the whole country has an unhealthy obsession with. The uncanny ability to say the exact right thing, right when she needs to hear it.

Story
It’s not easy being a woman working in a male dominated field. Add in the fact that my uncle owns the baseball team I work for, and proving I belong here is a constant battle. Dating a player was never an option. Not if I wanted to keep a shred of dignity and respect. Then Ronan Sinclair sits down next to me in first class with his alluring blue eyes and hard-to-resist dimples. To say nothing of his kindness and charm, or his determination to convince me that a steamy vacation fling is what we both need.

Story
Jace Dawson is less than a year away from accomplishing everything he's spent the past decade striving for. Not only has playing professional football been the dream since he was a kid, the financial incentive isn't one he could walk away from even if he wanted to. That is, until a chance collision has the unexpected outcome of making Jace realize he might want something more than the goal he's spent most of his life pursuing. Might want someone more.

Zanders: Chicago hockey isn't complete without me—everyone's favorite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night. What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job.

I made a deal with my brother a long time ago to never date his teammates. Technically, Rowan Landry, the hot as hell center for the Chicago Falcons, is no longer my brother’s teammate. Or his best friend. Their college days are long behind them, and they barely talk now. Also, I’m not dating him—we’re just sleeping together. There’s a difference.

Award for the cockiest athlete in America? Also, check, and well deserved I'd say. So why does my life feel anything but the perfect image I project? And why won't the one woman who came crashing into my life and knocked me on my six-foot-four ass take me seriously?

Knox Holland is in a jam. After an incredible first year on the pro motocross circuit, he should be on top of the world. Instead, his bad reputation has landed him without a team. He's untouchable and desperate to turn it around. Which is how he ends up at my gym asking me to train him. As a college gymnast with two Olympic medals to my name, I know a thing or two about the pressure to succeed. Last season I choked and then injured myself before I could show the world that I'm not a twenty-year-old has-been.

Or, in this case, a cushy five-star hotel suite. I'm supposed to give him a piece of my mind. To unleash a decade of pent-up anger. What I'm not supposed to do is sign an NDA meant for another woman.

Football star. Single dad. And once, a long time ago, mine. I’ve spent the better part of a decade forgetting Ford Ellis. If he had just stayed away from Montana, I might have erased the memory of his striking blue eyes and rugged smile forever. Avoiding him was easy when the only place I saw his face was on ESPN—and a remote control could fix that problem.

The first time Ryder James broke my heart, I was fifteen and fearless. The second time he broke my heart, I was eighteen and jaded. Both times, I fell for him effortlessly. Falling is easy. Our landings are hard. Painful. We were a sad song with a slow melody. Flowers with paper petals. Hidden letters with visible tears. A beautiful tragedy. Except tragedies have endings. Our story just . . . stopped. Seven years later, I still have more questions than answers. Questions I'm too proud to ask after almost a decade of silence.

Ever since her younger sister's engagement was announced, Harper Williams has been dreading the wedding. What should be a joyous, sun-drenched affair is sure to be filled with plenty of awkward moments, thanks to Harper's strained relationship with her only sibling. Awkwardness enhanced by the wedding's location—a lake in Maine, swimming with painful memories of their late father. Running into Drew Halifax—her childhood crush, who grew up to be the golden boy of hockey—is a surprise. Not nearly as shocking as his offer to be her plus-one is, though.

A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country… Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing. Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me. But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start. In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also–wait for it–my brand new roommate.

Harlow Hayes has spent three years avoiding Conor Hart. The cocky captain of Holt University's hockey team makes it easy—he ignores her right back. Plenty of girls fall for the charming lines and that arrogant smirk. Harlow knows better. Knows more. Like the fuel for the fury that makes Conor such a dominant force on the ice. The history they share but didn't write. The reason they don't speak. Until, one day, they do. He was supposed to be the one guy she could never—would never—like, much less love. Famous last words.

I've heard a lot of things about Weston Cole. Popular. Conceited. Supercilious. He's spent the last three years steadily dismantling my family's legacy. I should hate him. And I did. Until I encountered him freshman year and discovered he's also troubled. Captivating. Audacious. And when I come across him again senior year, it turns out that knowledge is even more dangerous than his suggestive smirk....

Story
There's rich. Then there's the Ellsworth family. The Kensingtons. American royalty. Money buys power, and power always has a price. The fear of those who already possess both? Losing it. The best way to ensure keeping it? Alliances. And elites don't marry down—they marry equal. For Scarlett Ellsworth and Crew Kensington, that leaves one option: each other. Accepting that inevitability is very different from embracing it. That's the only thing they agree upon. It was meant to be a union for better and for business.

Saylor's goals have always involved the literal kind constructed from posts and netting. Her single-minded focus has cost her a lot, but it's also earned her recognition as the top female college player in the US. She doesn't get attached. Meeting Adler Beck, the notorious player celebrated worldwide and coveted by women everywhere, challenges her indifference. But Saylor perfected the art of appearing unbothered a long time ago, and her scoring percentage is even higher off the pitch. Might as well add a gorgeous German to the tally.

Story
The first time Ryder James broke my heart, I was fifteen and fearless. The second time he broke my heart, I was eighteen and jaded. Both times, I fell for him effortlessly. Falling is easy. Our landings are hard. Painful. We were a sad song with a slow melody. Flowers with paper petals. Hidden letters with visible tears. A beautiful tragedy. Except tragedies have endings. Our story just . . . stopped. Seven years later, I still have more questions than answers. Questions I'm too proud to ask after almost a decade of silence.

Story
Ever since her younger sister's engagement was announced, Harper Williams has been dreading the wedding. What should be a joyous, sun-drenched affair is sure to be filled with plenty of awkward moments, thanks to Harper's strained relationship with her only sibling. Awkwardness enhanced by the wedding's location—a lake in Maine, swimming with painful memories of their late father. Running into Drew Halifax—her childhood crush, who grew up to be the golden boy of hockey—is a surprise. Not nearly as shocking as his offer to be her plus-one is, though.

Some couples have chemistry, others have a connection. We have both. We took turns walking away. Somehow, we’ve still ended up here. On stage, together, in front of tens of thousands of people. Him holding a guitar, me a microphone. Singing the song I wrote that launched my career and dubbed me the princess of pop music. The song about him. Maybe we were inevitable from the start. To love. To dream. To end. Our song had one ending. Our story might have another.

Award for the cockiest athlete in America? Also, check, and well deserved I'd say. So why does my life feel anything but the perfect image I project? And why won't the one woman who came crashing into my life and knocked me on my six-foot-four ass take me seriously?

Story
As the rookie catcher of the Daytona Fury, I have a lot to prove. Not only do I need to be perfect on the field, but I'm doing it all while fulfilling a promise to the woman who raised me. Graduating college was never as important to me as it was to my grandma, but I gave her my word that I'd finish, even though my future in the majors was sealed. When I find out I need one more class—one I know nothing about—I decide to hire a tutor to help me through it. But as soon as we get into our lessons, I realize I want her to teach me much more than the curriculum suggests.

Connor Crais & Erin Mallon did an amazing job. I thought both of them did the characters justice. When I was listening I felt I was really listening to two college age students falling in love. This is the third book of Connor’s I have listened to and he is becoming a favorite of mine. Erin again rocks it and is why she is one of the best female narrators out there.
This is the second book in the Holt University series. This is a standalone so you don’t need to read the first book. We meet Aiden & Rylan. They have a one night stand and a few weeks later Aiden finds out she is his tutor along with being the coach’s daughter. This was a great slow burn & forbidden romance. I love the Farnsworth’s writing. I loved the chemistry & love these two had. Not much drama but this was a great sweet story.

🏒 dual POV
🏒 multiple open door scense
🏒 no 3rd act break-up
This was just a fun college hockey romance! After a one-night hook up over winter break, both Aidan (our MMC) and Rylan (our FMC) find themselves thrust together when she transfers to the school her dad coach's at and ends up tutoring Aidan! These two had great chemistry and it was a slow build to a full relationship, which I enjoyed. I also just really enjoyed that there was no 3rd act break-up!
Thank you to Valentine PR for an ALC of this audiobook - all opinions are my own!

this book has all the right things for a sweet and spicy romance. forbidden, forced proximity, no third act breakup and hockey—yes, please.
aiden is a playboy hockey player that is coasting through life, ignoring his family problems, never really motivated to excel at anything. and rylan is the coach’s daughter that just transferred to the school wanting to start over, who agrees to tutoring aiden at the request of her father. their attraction is obvious through the entire book, while the relationship chemistry is a little more of a slow burn, full of banter and understanding.
cute and super easy to read. i flew through the audio, never wanting to press pause. Conner Crais and Erin Mallon do an amazing job bringing these characters to life.

The story revolves around Rylan Keller, a college student starting over at Holt University, where her father is the head coach of the men's hockey team. Rylan's initial reluctance to tutor a player leads her to Aidan Phillips, a charming and carefree hockey player with a reputation on campus. As the story progresses, Farnsworth skillfully explores the complexities of their relationship, delving into themes of personal growth, overcoming obstacles, and the power of connection.
What sets this audiobook apart is the depth and authenticity of the characters. Rylan and Aidan are not mere stereotypes; they are flawed and multi-dimensional individuals who undergo significant development throughout the story. Farnsworth's portrayal of their emotional journey is compelling and heartfelt, allowing listeners to connect with their experiences truly.
The narration by Connor Caris and Erin Mallon further enhances the story's quality. Both narrators bring the characters to life with their exceptional performances, capturing the nuances of their personalities and emotions. Caris and Mallon's voices are engaging and expressive, making it easy for listeners to immerse in the story entirely.
Additionally, Farnsworth's writing style is engaging and fluid, making the audiobook a pleasure to listen to. The pacing is well-balanced, keeping the audience engaged without feeling rushed. The dialogue is natural and believable, adding depth to the interactions between the characters.
Overall, Against All Odds is a standout audiobook that combines romance, sports, and personal growth compellingly and authentically. CW Farnsworth's masterful storytelling, combined with the excellent narration by Connor Caris and Erin Mallon, makes this audiobook a must-listen for anyone looking for a captivating and emotionally satisfying story.

Against All Odds is the second book in the Holt Hockey series. I have not read book one, which is about Conor and Harlow, so this is my introduction to the Holt Hockey guys. This was a really fun read. Aidan is a playboy who does everything he can to coast through life, but one thing he does care about is winning a hockey championship. Rylan is smart, confident, and looking for a fresh start at Holt. She is also the head hockey coach's daughter. When Aidan struggles academically, Rylan's father asks her to tutor him. I loved Aidan and Rylan's relationship. Everything seemed natural to them. Aidan and Rylan had amazing chemistry, and the banter was fun. I loved getting to know the characters, especially Aidan. I liked that Aidan was not the hockey team's star, and I enjoyed witnessing his growth. Rylan had faith in Aidan and helped him realize he was much more than what he was giving himself credit for. I loved the main characters, the secondary characters, and the friendships. Against All Odds is a well-written, feel-good story that is easy to read and hard to put down.
NARRATION:
The narrators, Connor Crais and Erin Mallon, did a wonderful job. Their performances were exceptional, and they really brought Aidan and Rylan to life. Connor and Erin expertly portrayed the characters' personalities and the emotions they experienced. The audiobook was highly entertaining and kept me engaged in the story. Connor and Erin's narration absolutely enhanced my listening experience by pulling me into the story.

5/5 🎧
I'm kinda obsessed with the Holt Hockey team. They're sweet, funny and hot as hades, not to mention I love a story that takes place in the greater Seattle area as that's where I'm from. Rylan and Aidan were so cute together and I adored their story.
Coach's daughter romances are so fun, the forbidden aspect is always a check in the plus column for me. I really loved how their romance started too, it was unexpected and fairly hilarious when they first meet.
I was really surprised when I realized this book is on almost the exact same timeline as Famous Last Words, and I wonder if book three will be too since most of the players we've met and come to love are seniors alongside Conor and Aidan....
The audio was amazing. Two of my absolute favorite narrators teamed up on this one and Erin Mallon and Connor Crais were incredible as always. I'll be listening to this one again for sure.

This book!!!!!!!! It totally snuck up on me and I loved it! I adored all the characters, the banter, the chemistry, the spice, the plot. ALL THE THINGS! I couldn't put it down and it made me so happy to read.
Rylan is transferring to the college where her Dad coaches the hockey team in her Junior year. She's nervous but excited for the fresh start. On move in day, her Dad asks her to tutor one of his players as a favor. She agrees. But when she meets for their first session and realizes he's the guy she hooked up with during winter break and cannot get out of her head, everything changes.
