There are a few things Nolan Ouellet has come to accept about himself.
One: that his future with the NHL was irrevocably destroyed, thanks to his reckless actions as a teenager destroying his knee.
Two: that he will never fall in love because the very idea of it sends his skin crawling.
Three: he will bed as many NHL players as humanly possible before he retires his game.
And four: he will never apologize for who he is and what he wants.
Then two men come barreling into his life and turn everything he knows upside down.
He still won’t play for the NHL, and he still won’t change who he is because he’s fought too long and too hard to accept his identity. But suddenly, his future is starting to look a little different than he originally planned.
And that scares the absolute hell out of him.
When he met Marko Rudenko and Luka Wagner—two veterans of the Denver Huskies—they were supposed to be a game, just like everyone else. But now all he can think about is how to keep them around without compromising the person he’s become and ruining the love Marko and Luka have for each other.
Soft Hands is the second book in the Sin Bin: West Coast series which can be enjoyed on its own but is best listened to in order. Soft Hands features a goalie with a hard outer shell and soft marshmallow insides, a confused alternate captain who just wants to give up a little control, and a former NHL prospect who knows who he is, but maybe not what he needs. Soft Hands contains aromantic acceptance, no cheating, plenty of love and communication, and as always, a happily ever after.

This is a perfectly imperfect story of three men each with their own struggles, battling their own demons. E.M. Lindsey has a way of writing such interesting characters, she never disappoints.
This is book 2 in EM Lindsey's series The Sin Bin: West Coast. John Solo did a wonderful job in the narration and the voices of these three men. I think I missed out on not reading the first book in the series and I'm old enough to know better... It's always better to start at the very beginning.
Unconventional polyamory, praise kink, cam boy, 1st person POV for all three of the characters
They were all a bit messy...

It starts off with 2 hockey players, Luka and Marco, who started as friends with benefits but become a couple. Then they discover that they are also attracted to Nolan, a former player turned coach. what follows is a solid story about making a relationship work between 3 people. It was refreshing to see that it was not about an equal partnership, but balance so that all partners get what they need from their relationship. Really good story.
John Solo did a good job (as always)with the story, especially with the steamy scenes. I thought he did a really good job with the accents as well. Really enjoyed the narration!
Interesting story, engaging narration

Narrator John Solo does a marvelous job. I've listened to several of his narrations recently and he never gets old. It's always a joy to hear his voice and know I'm going to be drawn right into the story. He really brings the characters to life and makes the story easy to follow.

This is advertised as a sports romance - based on my super scientific measuring, i'd say this book is 80% sex, 15% relationship, 5% hockey. If you aren't big on sports romances, this will probably work in your favor. If you enjoy the sports plots and more teammates bonding, traveling, games played, this will be a bit of a letdown. Also something to note, in this world, everyone in the hockey world is out (if they want to be) and the homophobia/scared to be outed is not a trope.
Rather than write walls of text, i'm going to break down main thoughts into bullets of what were pros and cons for me.
Things I enjoyed:
- Each character was very complex and unique, everyone had their own distinct voice.
-Aromantic representation where there is no "fixing" or "you just need to find the right person" bs. There's a lot of reflection and discussion between all three leads on what a relationship would be like between two romantic and one aromantic lead. (I'm not an authority on being aromantic, hopefully aromantic readers will weigh in on the representation.)
-The author's note explains one lead is an undiagnosed autistic, and lots of care went into showing who he was and how he expressed his big feelings. There's no "quirky" coding, thank goodness.
-Each lead spoke additional languages, which was an awesome touch.
-No 80% breakup! Refreshing to see.
-So much clear communication and consent discussions.
Things that didn't work for me:
-The narration. Listen, not every narrator will work out. Unfortunately, I struggle with John Solo's narrations. Each chapter starts with a very dramatic enunciation of what lead's POV has started. It's distracting, and so was Solo's different voices and accents used for each lead. (This is a me problem, I know others who enjoy Solo's voice acting!)
-I wanted more exploration on what their MMM relationship would look like! This is very front heavy on the emotional turmoil and angst of "what if" they all explored a relationship together, that the ending was so quick. I would have liked to see more chapters of all three of them together.
-I was looking for some hockey, which this doesn't have much of. Or even a bit more plot outside of the relationship angst.
-There was a lot of suspension of disbelief for the cam model subplot. I couldn't wrap my head around someone falling in love with a regular viewer who half the time is misspelling words because he's busy doing something else. Is it just me??
I received an ARC copy of this audiobook from GRR in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

The book is super-hot and the steamy scenes are extremely satisfying! The characters are well-rounded and though flawed, each in its own way, they are great !
Another great performance by John Solo, who did a great job with the different accents: Ukrainian, German and French-Canadian.
This quite the unusual take on polyamory.

I am such a fan of E.M. Lindsey and the Sin Bin series in general, so I've been really excited about this book, and it didn't leave me wanting. Luca, Marko, and Nolan have such an interesting dynamic between them that I could hardly put the book down.
I actually haven't read many books with aromantic characters, so seeing this and the way that the characters navigated their relationship was honestly so interesting and appealing to me. Seeing multiple forms of representation popping up in books more frequently now makes me so happy, especially when I feel like the authors did a good job at what they were portraying.
I honestly found this to be a super fast read, and I really enjoyed all of the characters involved. My only complaint is that I wish I could have seen a little more of what happened/how things kept on, but I guess that's a complaint an author wants to get, since it means that I'd snap up another book with these characters in a heartbeat.
Overall, great story. Great characters. Another great book!
Loved it!
