About this listen
Reid doesn’t utter a word when he stops within two feet of me, even taller and more intimidating than yesterday because I think being on the ice is his superpower, and he looks like he can do anything on it.
My life takes an unexpected turn when I meet Reid "The Reaper" Pierce- the grumpy enforcer for the New Brunswick Wolverines.
When the gorgeous hockey bad boy is slapped with a fifteen-game suspension, he is forced to rebuild his tarnished image.
Reid reluctantly becomes an assistant coach for a youth hockey team.
A challenge, to say the least, for the broody, alpha left winger, given his lack of kid-friendly skills.
Enter me: Hollyn Mayfield.
I'm sunshine with a dash of nerdiness and a touch of self-consciousness.
I find myself thrust into the role of the other assistant coach.
My expertise? Mostly handing out juice boxes and snacks to kids during practice.
An unlikely duo, we strike a deal.
I'll help him ease up on the kids, reducing post-practice tears and parent complaints.
In return, he'll assist me in scoring a date with my crush, the head coach Weston Higgins.
Weston, as Reid points out, is a B-class wannabe.
Despite this, I remain determined to snag that date.
Reid agrees to teach me about hockey, hoping it will help me connect with Weston.
Along the way, though, he might want to keep me with his jersey number on my back.
Falling for the Pucking Grump is a Grumpy/Sunshine, Guy Falls First, Hockey Romance. This is Book 1 in the standalone series New Brunswick Wolverines.

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.

Terrible narration
The story was decent but the AI narration ruined it for me. I've listened to other audiobooks with AI narration that were okay but this one is the worst. No distinction between character voices, close to monotone in parts. It really brought the experience down.
