About this listen
Emerson Carter
Guys claim three minutes is a long time, so imagine what it means to be seven minutes older than your identical twin. We may look exactly the same—even down to our cupid’s bow lips—but our personalities couldn’t be more different. She’s foot loose and fancy free while I’m the responsible one. I’ve always been okay with that, too, but recently I’m feeling stifled by the constant pressure to be perfect. Date the perfect guy. Have the perfect job. Live in the perfect apartment. Perfection has a heavy cost. Am I willing to keep paying it?
Darren “D-Man” James
I met my soulmate when I was six years old and she was four. Emerson Carter had the cutest red hair in those Pippi Longstocking braids and always wore matching outfits with her twin sister, Evelyn. We grew up together, the three amigos. I sat in the friendzone and watched and waited. I sidelined myself as she dated my billet-brother Nick Atterton. I even lived with the couple for a few years until Nick was traded to Miami.
Witnessing the unimaginable strike our close friend brings us closer together. But will we be able to overcome that little bit of history… the one that had everyone thinking Emerson is simply biding her time, waiting for Nick to settle in down south? Will I have to watch her walk away again?
Will I be able to let her?
Dropped Puck Series is a 6 book hockey romance series following the Chicago Sharks as they fight through a season of ups and downs. A collection of interconnected stand-alones, each book can be listened to on their own, but I do recommend following the order in which the books are published as the characters do make follow up appearances in the subsequent stories.

Story
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Story
Liv’s happy with life in her thirties. She has two cats, one BFF, and no boyfriend, which is just how she likes it.

But when her beloved firm merges with a repulsive rival, Liv finds herself competing with her sort-of-ex for the top job. Sure, Finn had been Liv’s best friend, with his nerdy good looks and their shared love of Tolkien, but there was that one night, their song, and … well, she doesn’t like to talk about it.

Emotional, Captivating
This book was an emotional rollercoaster in the best way possible! I loved how Emerson’s story intertwined with Bitsy’s, giving a deeper look into her experience during the second incident with Pearce. Seeing everything unfold from Em’s perspective added so much depth and emotion to the story.
Emerson is such a relatable character—torn between the pressures of perfection and her own desires. Her journey of self-discovery and breaking free from expectations was powerful and heartfelt. And then there’s Darren—loyal, patient, and completely in love with Em since childhood. His unwavering devotion made my heart ache in the best way. The tension between them, the history, and the emotional connection had me hooked from the start.
The romance was slow-burning, angsty, and incredibly satisfying. The way these two navigated their feelings, past heartbreak, and lingering doubts felt so real. Their chemistry was undeniable, and the moments of vulnerability between them made their love story even more compelling.
Overall, this book had the perfect balance of drama, emotion, and romance. If you love second-chance love stories with deep emotional stakes and unforgettable characters, this is a must-read! I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator did a fantastic job bringing the story to life. Their expressive delivery and distinct character voices made the listening experience even more enjoyable, drawing me deeper into the story. It was a pleasure to listen to, and I highly recommend the audio version!

Childhood friends to lovers
This is my first book from this author. Although I did not listen to book one, I still enjoyed the story. Great book about childhood friends who eventually became more. Great characters! Good narration from Alex Raby. I received this audiobook for free upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review.

loved it!!
I've read the book before, so I knew the story was awesome. I've just been waiting to get my ears on the audio version. This was very well done.
Emy and Nick have a history, but not as much as Emy and D. I'm happy they get the HEA.

So many feels
Loved the dynamic between Em and D-Man (okay, it’s Darren, but I’m a puck bunny at heart) from the very beginning. I felt so much in this hockey romance; happiness, sadness, fear and devastation.

Soulmates! ❤️
This was my first book by this author and I loved it! This was a best friends to lovers romance with a little angst before that gets to happen. Emy dates Nick for way too long before they both decide to end it and move on. Emy and Darren always wanted to be together and are truly soulmates but they did have some things to work through first. I loved all of the characters in this book as well as the romance between Emy and Darren. I did wish that the epilogue went back to Emy and Darren for a little while before the hockey talk at the end. Narration by Alex Raby was great!

Great world building throughout the series
The story is so well done that I accidentally read the third before the first and it still made sense. In this world Rosie has created it seems all of these stories are running at the same time so there's overlap especially the third with this since the third is Emerson's twin sister's story. I would however recommend that they're read in order set by the author though. They're all good so far. I'm going to continue with the series.

Great follow up
I enjoyed the first of this series and I liked getting to know Emerson and Darren more. It's a fun if complicated and steamy friends to lovers. I do wish we had a better resolution at the end I felt like there we missed out on that with Darren and Em but also with Nick, Maybe there will be some of that in the next one I'm not sure but I felt let down with that otherwise I enjoyed this story and the characters. Narration was done well.

Best friends to lovers.
I loved Darren, although he was too patient with Nick and Em. His friendships are so very special to him. Em's twin has moved away, so she doesn't have much of a role in this book. Full of love and friendship. Clever banter. Deep thoughts. Angst. Smexy times. Wonderful characters. Ups and downs.
I was gifted an Audible version of this book from the author through Story Origin. The narrator, Alex Raby, brings feels to this story. Even her male voices are good. 5 stars for her as well.
