Publisher's summary
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.

Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights. But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled.

Harlow Hayes loves water. In its liquid form. The chlorinated kind she swims in. The perennial droplets soaking her adopted hometown. The waves she ventures out on to observe the ocean. Water, in its frozen state, holds no appeal to her. That's not the only—or most divisive—difference between her and Conor Hart. The arrogant, arresting captain of Holt University's hockey team spends every second not picking fights or partying atop a sheet of it. Plenty of girls fall for the charming lines and that cocky smirk. Harlow knows better. Knows more.

Never rent an apartment over the internet. I learned that lesson the hard way. Turns out the sweet two bedroom I was thrilled to make mine is actually smack dab in the middle of a retirement community. Now instead of enjoying Florida’s night life, I’m helping Mrs. Hill find her missing hearing aids and showing Mr. Frazier how to use his television remote for the millionth time. But it’s fine. They look out for me and I look out for them. Which is how I end up wedged in a broom closet with Mr. Frazier’s sexy as sin nephew.

Everyone knows not to cross the campus d-bags. On or off the ice. You don’t sneak into their house, thinking no one’s watching. You don’t ransack their bedrooms, tripping over hockey gear as you rummage through their things. And you definitely don’t get caught with your head under one’s bed and your size-16 backside pointed right at their camera.

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.

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.

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....

Dancing on bar tops means the night is going great. Exiting the bar hauled over the shoulder of Heston University's infamous hockey captain? Not my idea of a good time. But my would-be knight would have to do. I needed an escape route from my brother… his biggest rival. Easton Blake is the perfect reminder of why I avoid hockey players. Cocky. Frustratingly sexy. Accustomed to every girl in his orbit falling for his charm. With his sultry smile that tells me he knows all the ways to make girls come undone with his touch, I'm almost the next score on his stats.

The first time I saw Grayson Phillips, I fell. Tripped, to be specific. His seven-year-old self saved me from scraped knees and sentenced me to a fate of pining after my brother’s best friend for years. People change. Childish crushes fade. I’m an adult now, a doctor with more important things to worry about. I gave up on the boy next door ever loving me a long time ago. Or so I thought…until he returns to our hometown on leave from the Air Force. For the first time, not everything between us feels one-sided. That doesn’t make it matter. He’ll take off soon—literally.

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
In the high-pressure world of varsity hockey at Wittmore U, being the team intern means more than overseeing grueling workouts and injuries. It's the colossal egos of the players that truly test my patience. Even if they did see me as something more than another locker room fixture created to tend to their bodies, my boss has made one thing clear:

Great audio
I received this audiobook to listen to and post my reviews by Valentine PR.
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.

Against All Odds !!!
This book was such a fun read . The banter between Aiden and Rye was absolute perfection and the fact that they both are secretly obsessed with each other from almost page one makes everything even better !!! The jealousy scenes made for just enough angst, “f those butterflies” made for just the right humor and some sizzling heat with that library scene . I did feel at times that the story was dragging on, I also seriously hated Aiden’s brother and future bride-to-be, but other than that it was great !
This is book two in the Holt Hockey series and it can be read as a complete standalone .
This audiobook was given to me for honest review by Valentine PR + Literary Management .

sweet and spicy
a one night stand with the coach’s daughter, but they both have no clue 🔥
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.
i love holt hockey.

Another great NA Romance!!
A steamy college romance that follows the school’s hockey playboy and the good girl tutor.. who happens to be his coach’s daughter
On audio, Connor Crais and Erin Mallon, two of my favorites, did a great job bringing the characters and undeniable chemistry to life. It was so easy to fall in love with Rylan and Aidan and the entire Holt Hockey crew.

ADORED THIS
I just ADORED this!!
🏒 college hockey romance
🏒 player & coach's daughter
🏒 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!

A Heartfelt Journey of Love, Sports, and Redemptio
I recently enjoyed listening to the ALC copy of the audiobook “Against All Odds” by CW Farnsworth, narrated by Connor Caris and Erin Mallon. This remarkable audiobook stands out for its exceptional storytelling and captivating characters. Farnsworth has a knack for creating solid and well-rounded stories that resonate with the audience, and this book is no exception.
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.

- Hockey Player x Tutor

- Forced Proximity

- Dual POVs
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.

Aidan and Rylan
5/5 ⭐
3/5 🌶️
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.

✨ Against All Odds ✨
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.

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.

Thank you so much to C.W. Farnsworth and Valentine PR for the opportunity to read and listen to this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
