About this listen

He's a professional hockey player trying to survive on his new team. I'm just trying to survive.

I'm down to my last dollar. I live day-to-day in a world that doesn't care. Despite my bad luck, I'm a fighter. I never give up. I never stop trying.

Ryan Parker's wealth and generosity set him apart from anyone I know. Yet, I don't trust him. It's nothing personal. I trust no one. But when my bad luck takes a turn for the worse, one person shows up. Ryan Parker.

I do not understand why he bothered because the guy has enough of his own issues to deal with. But I don't have a choice. I need him. It's a matter of survival.

His friendship changed everything. It changed me. I started to believe in myself. I allowed myself to trust. And for the first time in a long time, I felt my heart beat again.

Contains mature themes.

Surprising good story. Based on the cover image, I was worried this might be corny, but it was very sweet, funny, and entertaining. Could listen to Kydd talk all day. Seriously, not sure what is up with other reviewers. He has a great narrative voice. I will admit it takes a few seconds to get used to it, but once you try it, you're hooked! Can't wait to listen to Kydd and Dauer in the next one!

Alex Kydd and Madeleine Dauer Are a Dream Team!

Zoey lives on the streets after being released from the foster system. She meets Ryan, a hockey player new to the Vancouver Wolves team who’s trying to get connected with his new teammates. He generously and without an agenda besides compassion, he gives Zoey a job as his personal assistant and a room of her own in his fancy apartment. After her time living rough she is initially suspicious of his motives until she truly sees that he’s a good man and begins to trust again.

Talented narrators bring the characters to life!

I enjoyed the transformation of the characters in this book. I appreciated that Zoe was able to grow and accomplish her goals. I liked that hard choices were made and in the end it made the relationship stronger. At first I didn’t think I would like the male narrator, but in the end, I really liked his voice and it fit his caring role. It was a great book.

Spicy and sweet

I absolutely love just about anything narrated by Alex. He always makes the stories soooo much better. But the female narrator is not good. It really throws it off when you have Alex that always gives an amazing performance then Madeline that really doesn’t. The story is also pretty corny at times so that makes Madeline’s narration even worse.

Alex Kydd will always melt me

Best story in this series !

*****SPOILER ALERT*****

Home Game by Odette Stone. Vancouver Wolves Hockey series, book 2. Audiobook review. Dual POV. Dual style narration. It's listed as 11 hours; I listened at speed 2.50 for 4 hours 24 minutes. Narrators Madeleine Dauer and Alex Kydd both read well. I'll never understand why so many authors use Alex Kydd to narrate American characters who aren't surfers, his foreign accents are great. Content warnings: adolescent orphaned; homelessness; brutal assault leaving a girl unconscious, severely injured, and hospitalized; foster child sexually assaulted by her foster parent; stalking; hockey related fights; jealous guy fight; and two stabbings.

Ryan Andrew Parker was just traded to the Vancouver Wolves Hockey team. Zobenia Petrik (aka Zoey) is a former foster child, now homeless even though she is working for a restaurant. Zoey and Ryan meet in a coffee shop where she helps him with a computer program and his receipts. Zoey misses the shelter curfew, so Ryan invites her to stay at his place. As Zoey leaves, Ryan gives her his business card in case she ever needs him. Zoey is attacked, and medical professionals find Ryan's card and contact him...

I have read and listened to this story many times and enjoy it every single time. JP

I have been looking for another slow burn romance and this book was exactly what I needed. I wasn’t sure the author could pull off the power differential between the characters, but I think she navigates this well in the end.

Loved this story. Kept me intrigued. Enough angyst, humor, sadness, happiness, & spice. I will be listening to next book. Narration was great. Although, the female narrator sounded like she just read the script, without enthusiasm...she did not have an irritating voice, so it was great!

Fantastic!
