About this listen
***EDITED: 12/17/2024***
I have been in love with my best friend since we were kids. I have imagined our wedding, what names we might give our children, hell, you name it, I've dreamed it.
But, it never happened.
We had a really shitty upbringing. Horrible addict parents, starving and begging for food. Wearing old clothes we found in dumpsters or in boxes in front of the local church.
But we got out. We got his sisters out.
He got a full-ride scholarship for hockey and even made it to the pros... meanwhile my career got put on the backburner so that I could help raise his little sisters and not abandon them.
All they knew was us. James and me, me and James.
We were attached at the hip, the perfect, platonic husband and wife.
But then it happens. We finally collide in passion and I didn't have any regrets.
But then days and weeks go by and he doesn't say a word.
And the worst part?
I'm pregnant.

Story
The captain of the Blizzards is my roommate and my boss. And now I have to tell him that I’m pregnant. Moving to Chicago was supposed to be my fresh start, not a front-row seat to Ethan Carter’s shirtless parade. My best friend swore the apartment she found me was perfect. She just forgot to mention I’d be sharing it with the team’s grumpy, tattooed, hot-as-sin captain. Then the team’s manager makes me the Event Manager for their Christmas charity gala. And who gets assigned to “lead” me? Ethan Freaking Carter. By day, he barks orders like I’m a rookie on his team. By night,...

Story
This Christmas, I only had one goal: survive the office holiday party without embarrassing myself in front of my boss. But one mistletoe, a stolen kiss, and a night wrapped in his arms changed everything. Derrick Lawson is everything a boss shouldn’t be—devastatingly handsome, quietly intense, and the only man who’s made my heart race from across the room. I thought he’d never see me as more than just his employee, until he stops me at the door and asks me to stay. When his fingers linger on my arm and our eyes meet under the glow of twinkling Christmas lights, I know my holiday ...

This Christmas, I had one plan: escape the city and find solace in a secluded mountain cabin. No deadlines, no distractions—just me and the quiet peace of falling snow. But a booking mix-up and an unexpected cowboy have turned my holiday retreat upside down. Jase Lawrence is everything I didn't anticipate—ruggedly handsome, infuriatingly stoic, and the sole owner of the ranch I thought I'd have to myself. With a blizzard rolling in, we're snowed in together, and my hopes for solitude are replaced by shared fireside glances and the warmth of his easy smile. He's as untamed as the ...

I didn't plan on him...or for him. I didn't plan on anything that had to do with Cal Donovan from Boston. Meeting him was a complete and utter surprise, taking me completely off guard. I met new people every single day in my line of work, and none of them affected me. Isn't that just the way of things? You could meet a thousand people, and they'd all mean nothing to you, but then you'd meet that one and they suddenly meant everything.

I've never been in love. I've never had an orgasm, but I've faked plenty. I want to experience love. Real, passionate love. I don't want to die. It's funny what blurts out of your mouth when the plane you're on is going down, and I didn't hold back with my seat mate when my plane decided to crash. My hysterical confessions didn't faze the muscular stranger that sat beside me. In fact, he promised if we survived, he'd give me my first orgasm.

Dancing around my office in my bra isn't exactly the way I'd have chosen to run into my ex for the first time in 12 years, but what can I say? Wes Lake has always had a knack for showing up at the most inopportune times. Unfortunately, he also has a knack for leaving. That's why I've made every effort to put him out of my head - and my heart. But this time, he needs my help.

Surprisingly Not Bad
I'm not a fan of Virtual Voice but I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't too bad for this story.
The story itself was okay. It had a lot of potential and I know there have been edits to this book already but some of the creative aspects I think could have been better. But all in all, I enjoyed it - especially for it being a free book!
