I loved the book but would have preferred it been a dual narrative since the story is told in a dual narrative.

It was a hallmark story line with some very vivid sex scenes sprinkled in. Definitely different than I expected.

Hallmarkish porn

I liked the hook of the parents being involved in their kids' love lives though I struggled with her father. He had some growing up to do and their relationship seemed to help that. I liked how his reading troubles was part of the story; its nice when romance authors incorporate real struggles for their fictional characters to deal with.

Fun hockey romance

4.5 stars — This was one of those ones that thoroughly entertained me, and as I wrote out my review, I just liked more. That’s actually kind of rare for me.

I was surprised that it was just a male narrator for both POVs, but Mr. Paige did a great job — consistent voices, emotion, not bad girl voices. Great pacing, always clear when a section changed. Solid.

I initially wondered if I’d connect with Caleb, but I totally did. I thought his character and his motivations were really rounded out well, from his struggles with dyslexia, to feeling unseen by his mother. It explained some of his behaviors and choices with the team, and how he got into trouble in the first place. I enjoyed the connections he had with his teammates. I loved the way his relationship with Zara developed, and how he found patience and understanding in her.

I also wondered if I would connect with Zara, because she’s so rigid and controlled. But it made total sense with her upbringing, and I could feel the loneliness and desperation for someone to be there for her underneath it all. I thought her profession was absolutely fascinating, and now I want to look up miniature artists.

I loved the way they connected with one another — both a little reticent for a relationship, but both feeling chemistry from the start. I loved the teasing nature, and the way they just settled into relying on one another for companionship and eventually more. I loved that their fumbles in love came from good places and their reactions, while harsh, could be explained by their pasts.

I loved that it wasn’t one person with the big gesture, but the both of them seeking out each other.

I appreciated that they both got some resolution with each of their respective parents.

Anchovy was 100%, without a doubt, the silent star of this book. He was adorable and hilarious and I just loved him to an obsessive degree.

All in all it was totally entertaining — it felt light to listen to, but it wasn’t without depth. It was just solid.

Solid and adorable

It has everything that I love – a sassy heroine, a swoon-worthy hero, witty banter, sweet romancing, and rules that are meant to be broken. I loved this easy and quick read which is perfect for a lazy day under the summer sun.

Great performances by Tim Paige.

Loved it! Tim Paige did a wonderful job narrating Parental Guidance. Avery Flynn definitely caught my interest with this one. A quirky female lead, a repentant male lead and one cute Anchovy all combined to make this a great story. I was pleased to discover the Ice Knights mentioned in Butterface had a series of it's own.

Cute

Really enjoyed this book. The sex scenes are a bit much but there were a number of good chuckles.

A fun listen

A miniature artisan. That's different. I adored her ideas. I would have picked up that female writers work too. The dates were fantastic! They were both so different, but also alike in how they cared for those they loved. What happened to Caleb was kinda blown out.of proportion considering they did nothing to the other players involved. Where is the hate mail for them? All in all a good read with sweet characters. I want Anchovie! He is adorable! I didn't really think about the voice actors until now which is pretty fantastic. I completely tuned into what they said and how they said it that it was like I read it in my own head. I usually pick up small parts that sound off, but I didn't and just enjoyed the story the way they told it. I highly approve of this and hope to hear it like this over and over in future books. Hope you all enjoy!

One makes miniatures and one plays hockey.
