Publisher's summary

In hockey and love, timing is everything....

Emmett "Coop" Cooper is the star captain of the Boston Bruins. But off the bench, he's hiding a secret that could jeopardize everything he's worked for. As a gay man and a virgin, he's chosen to live his life in the closet, afraid of how the hockey world might react. However, one night, while visiting family out of town, everything changes when he meets a guy at a bar with a captivating smile he can't ignore.

Ford Mahoney is a recent college graduate with a haunted past. After destroying his relationship with a fellow student, he escapes from Boston after graduation to mend his broken heart. A chance encounter with a famous hockey player sparks hope of a fresh start, but when Ford learns Coop is friends with his ex's new man, he keeps Coop in the dark, leaving the fate of their relationship on thin ice.

With secrets buried deep, the excitement of a steamy summer fling provides a welcome distraction. But once they're back home, Ford is forced to come clean, leaving him to wonder if he'll ever break free from the chains of his past. And with a broken heart, Coop questions if love is worth the pain.

But maybe it's true that time heals all wounds.

Hooking the Captain is book one in the Off the Bench Duet. Coop and Ford's story concludes in Retaking the Shot.

Broken love and a cliffhanger

Sweet love story with a sad case of broken love and then a cliffhanger. Must get the second book to see if the love survives.

Cliffhanger

I love the story line, don’t like how they have a couple chats/months of not having any interactions. I absolutely did not like the cliffhanger.

Good story

This was a very good story of two men with secrets trying to make a relationship work. Sadly, one secret breaks them apart. The last third of the book is done very well to set us up for book 2 in the duet. Looking forward to that on audio.

Narration was spectacular as always with Tim Paige and Liam DiCosimo 🤍

Crappy ending.

Voices are subpar. Story ended abruptly. Did the author get tired of writing as this was a shorter than usual story. The overall story concept was great but fell super short imo.
