About this listen
Breaking rules on the ice is easy. Breaking them to get her back? That’s a whole new game I’m not sure I can win.
I don’t do one-night stands. But when a blue-eyed chanteuse knocks me off my feet, I break my own rule. When I wake up the next morning, though, she’s gone, and I have no way to find her.
Lily’s trapped in a past she can’t escape. One night of passion with me seemed to help her forget—until dawn broke. She ran without looking back. When chance has us bumping into each other in front of a strip club (it’s not what it sounds like), she realizes she’s misjudged me—and maybe even her own heart. But she’s not ready to bury her specters, and what started as a one-night stand is threatening to bloom into something that will unravel her carefully laced-up world.
Between my obligations to my family and my hockey team, a lot’s riding on my shoulders. I’m struggling to meet everyone’s expectations, and Lily’s a complication I don’t need. I know I should let her and that one night we shared fade into a pleasant memory, but I can’t get her out of my mind. I’m determined to win her over the same way I dominate on the ice: with patience and persistence. Deep in my heart, I think this girl is worth it. The problem is, I’m facing off against a rival I can’t outplay.
I have to convince her to let go of the ghosts haunting her, or she just might freeze me out forever.

My life just hit the skids, hard. After a drug scandal blew up in my face, I’m out of a team, my endorsements are gone, and my bank account’s pretty much empty. So now I’m stuck trying to sell my house to scrape together some cash. The kicker? I’ve got to work with Paige Anderson, the real estate agent with a smile that could light up a room—and the woman I made a complete fool of myself with not too long ago.

Story
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.

This man is temptation personified. He’s six feet four inches of rock-solid, golden muscles that are inked to perfection and proudly displayed every time he steps into the cage. I’m the idiot who agreed to stay with him for the next few days. Hudson “The King” Kingston knew he had a fight coming up when he risked himself to save me. How could I say no when he needed a friend to help him out? Because that’s exactly what we’ve always been—friends. Friends who flirt. Friends who tease. Friends who never cross that line.

It all started with an unexpected phone call. Two years after my fiancé passed away in an accident, his father died suddenly, leaving Brad’s adult special-needs brother with no one to care for him. The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home. The last thing I ever expected? I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone.

Mark believes he’s meeting Jimmy for the first time in the diner where he works, but he’s wrong. Mark has no recollection of their original encounter because the wholesome Jimmy of today couldn’t be more different than he was two years ago. Back then, Jimmy sported multiple piercings and facial hair. He was painfully skinny—and a meth addict. The drug transformed him into a lying, conniving thief. Mark doesn’t associate the memory of a hookup gone wrong with this fresh-faced 20-something…but Jimmy knows. Can Mark see Jimmy for the man he is now?

What's worse than having Rider Kingston, the star quarterback, give you the big brushoff because he doesn't want to get serious? You'd probably think living across the street from him where you get a firsthand view of his hookups, right? That's what I thought. Until someone drops off a baby with a note pinned to her blanket that says one of those jocks - either Rider or one of his roommates - is the father. The problem? Baby mama doesn't mention which of these numbskulls is the sperm donor. I wouldn't care about their paternity problems - except my brother lives there too.

But when I’m scrolling on a dating app and stumble across the pretty girl who almost ran me over, I know I can’t let her walk away this time. Harper is funny, smart, and doesn’t care about hockey. I’m not supposed to be focusing on anything other than my career, yet I can’t get Harper off my mind. I know I shouldn’t fall for her…but I think I already have.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

The story of Gage and Lily is one of love after loss. This is a big big theme in the book. How do you deal with grief, how do you heal from the loss of the love of your life… it’s quite deep and makes you think.
Gage is drawn to Lily from the first moment and once he finds her again after their single night together, he will do anything to keep her close. Lily lost her husband 4 years ago and is a single mom still haunted by the love she lost too soon. She feels guilt for her night with Gage and the more she spends time with him, the more it looks like she’s healing, but that can make her guilt even stronger…
The biggest obstacle between these two (and adorable Daisy) becoming a family, is the ghost of Jack. It broke my heart how easily Gage adapted his life to make room for Lily and Daisy, how much he wanted more with them (not just her, them!) and yet he still lived in the shadow of Jack through Lily’s grief. It’s mentioned multiple times that grieving isn’t a one size fits all process… but sometimes you need a wakeup call from outside your grief to help you move forward rather than staying stuck in the past.
The audiobook was performed by Ryan Lee Dunlap and Aubrey Vincent. Both are new to me narrators and I feel like they performed the 3rd person perspective well. The emotions built over the course of the book and though the pacing was slow in the beginning, I’m glad I stuck with it. Once the pace picked up, I really became invested, and it was just an emotional ride to the finish line. I was almost crying at one point thanks to Ryan’s narration of an interaction between Gage and Daisy…
I requested and was provided with an advance copy of the audiobook. These are my honest opinions.

🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Ryan Lee Dunlap and Aubrey Vincent did an amazing job bringing these characters to life and did so with a complete understanding of who they were portraying and were believable in every role they played. Ryan Lee Dunlap played Gage’s role with perfection and Aubrey Vincent did the same for Lilly, both grasping all sides of their personality, and all of their emotions and have you feeling every single one. Both were fantastic performing the roles of the secondary characters too. These two versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the fantastic listen.
