About this listen
I don’t do one-night stands. But when a blue-eyed singer 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.

The truth could cost me my career and get him into trouble, too, so the single mom life is how I’ve been surviving. That is, until I’m given an assignment. It looks like Luc has gotten himself into trouble again, and it’s my job to write about it. The last thing I should do is randomly show up before a hockey game with a baby in a stroller and tell Luc he’s the father.

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?

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.

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.

Although, he never would’ve noticed me if he didn’t need my help passing our biology class. I didn’t think I had a chance with him until he started flirting with me and asking me questions like, “Who was the guy you were talking to?” and “Do you have a boyfriend?”

Story
My life was always at a simmer… only stewing, never going anywhere. I was left to fend for myself when it came to affection or love, so I learned to go without. I refused to let them see how broken and lonely I was; it was much easier to hide behind a false reality. I didn't want anyone's pity. I didn't need it. Pity wouldn't put food on the table or keep a roof over our heads. That was all me. Now, I have a second chance at a dream long forgotten. It demands hard work and sacrifice - with absolutely no distractions. A recipe I already know all too well, raising a daughter on my own.

Love After Loss - Slow Build with an emotional end
3rd in series but stands alone. There are character overlaps and if you’re aware of the previous stories, it will make you smile to see them now.
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.

Wonderful listen with great narration
This is my first book by G.K. Brady and I really like her writing style, characters and storyline. She brings wonderful emotion, passion and love to this story. Gage and Lily have a chance meeting and have an instant attraction to one another. Lily has some emotional baggage she’s trying to work through which prevents her from fully commuting to Gage. She also had her daughter to worry about so she doesn’t want to get too attached. Gage is patient and loving with Lily - giving her space and time to work through her emotions. G.K. writes the story so beautifully - your emotions will be put to the test. Ryan Lee Dunlap and Aubrey Vincent deliver a fantastic performance. Their voices were perfect for the characters and gave them great emotion and personalities. Audiobooks being a whole different dynamic to the authors words. Fantastic listen!

Great Listen!
This is the third book in the series but can be read as a standalone. This is the first book I have read from this series and author. The narrators do a good job telling the story in an entertaining way. I will be going back to read the other two stories in the series and look forward to more to come.

Sweet Cravings
God, I loved Gage and Lily's love story. I loved how Gage was such a sweet, caring, and loyal guy to not only Lily but his friends and family. I laughed through this book while at times my heart hurt for the things Lily struggled with. I couldn't imagine going in her shoes. But I'm so glad she was able to let go of her past and move on with the right man. Gage was such a great guy for Lily and her little girl Daisy. The two narrators were a first for me, and I truly enjoyed them reading the story. I'll be checking out more from them as well. Loved all 3 books, but Book 3 so far is my favorite.

Great Read
Gauging the Player (The Playmakers #3) was a great read by G.K. Brady. Gage Nelson not only doesn’t do one night stands, but he doesn’t date. He is just focused on leading his team to the playoffs. That is until Lily Everett bowls him over with her blue eyed beauty. He ends up breaking his own rules for one night of passion. Unfortunately he wakes up and she’s gone. He has no idea how to find her and can’t get her out of his mind. She can’t seem to let go of her past and runs from the guilt of what she did with the hockey player who must be a player. A chance meeting brings them back together and she realizes that she misjudged Gage. I enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to read more by the author.

Good Romance
This book is so good. Gage is a misunderstood pro hockey player and Lily is the grieving widow. I like how Lily and Gage had history. I also like that Lily wasn't some twig and she had a daughter. I liked the first meeting between Gage and Daisy. The build up to the being in love part was very sweet. I like this book, it took my mind off of everything for a few hours. The narrators draw you in and hold onto your attention. They did such a wonderful job bringing the characters to life. I think that G.K. Brady's books are definitely worth checking out.

Compelling & Heartfelt! Amazing Story & Listen🎧
G.K. Brady continues to wow me with another winning novel set in her “Playmakers” series, a novel that grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it the entire book. She outdid herself with all the emotions and you could feel how much heart she put into this book as those emotions pour off the pages and into your own heart. The characters in this book, and series, are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they are easy to care about too. Gage Nelson is an all around nice guy, and doesn’t get into the women, puck bunnies, who follow the players and throw themselves at them just for who they are and what they do, he wants something more meaningful. Listening to Lilly Everett sing made him feel things, and then he got to meet her after the show and he knew he wanted to spend more time with her. He made an exception because she was not your usual puck bunny, and he spent the night with her and was hoping for more, but she disappeared before he woke up. He did not forget about her and when he sees her again he questions why she left. Lily did not share much about herself that night and she still hesitated to, not because her life is a secret, it is more that she is living in her own bubble and does not know how to get out, though she does not realize it. I loved the layers of the story, the complexity of the characters and getting to know them. My heart went out to Lily, who was struggling to move past her loss and the life that she built. Gage was solid, always trying to do the right thing for his family, who did not deserve it, except for his grandmother, who had cognitive issues, which were heartbreaking, too. There was also some drama going on with one of Gage’s teammates, which put him in a tough spot. This beautifully written and plotted sports romance has plenty of drama, heartfelt emotions, a touch of angst, some heartwarming moments and a cute little Daisy who is not only a scene stealer but a stealer of hearts, too. G.K. Brady, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 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.

Enjoyable Storyline with Heartfelt Characters!
This is an good story. Enjoyable storyline with heartfelt characters. This is the third book in the series and I am enjoying getting to know this team and all the girls. Each of the characters has nice individual growth that blends in well together. My only issue is I don’t understand why she calls him professor? I might have missed it but to me it was kind of weird. I am not sure whose story is next but I look forward to more from this team of players.
I listened to this on audio. Ryan Lee Dunlap and Aubrey Vincent are the narrators. Both are new to me and I felt they did a good job portraying their respective characters.
