About this listen
My name is Nova Stone and I was a ghost in my own life until a knock at the door changed my whole world.
Applying for guardianship of my infant half-brother was a no brainer, even if I hadn't known he existed. But that was before I met his uncles; two pro ice hockey players, and a CEO. They wanted to take Huey home with them and they were willing to pay me millions of dollars for the privilege.
When that didn't work, they managed to convince me that it would be better for my brother–and for me–if I moved into their Ann Arbor mansion. At first, I said hell no. I'd listened to true crime podcasts. I'd read the newspaper articles. But a week of sleepless nights and emotional breakdowns later, I relented.
They were helpful, I'd give them that. But they were also hot, and that was a problem. River with his brooding intensity, he was as huge as you'd picture an NHL enforcer to be. His foster brother Devan, who was mysterious and standoffish, and their best friend Rigby, the literal embodiment of a golden retriever in the body of a 6'2 pro athlete.
But I had to do what was right for Huey, and anyway, how could I ever choose? And I had to choose...right?
Sticks and Stone is the first book in a series of interconnected standalone stories. It is a Why Choose novel and may contain topics that are difficult for some listeners.

Story
I moved out to LA to participate in a Graphic Design scholarship that turned out to be fake. That was just my luck. But there was no way I could return home. Not to the already disappointed faces of my parents, who have never believed that ‘fiddling around on your computer’ was an actual career. Not back to my friends who thought I was insane for breaking up with my long-term boyfriend to move out here in the first place. Not back to Georgia, full stop.

After spending the last three months on My Fairytale, a show that promised I'd find my future pack and finally get my happily ever after, I realized it was too good to be true. My chosen pack humiliated me in front of the world, and now the only thing I can do is outrun the spotlight. I find myself moving a few hours away, ready to start a new life. But the past isn't ready to let me go. Family is using me for their fifteen minutes, I have interviews I still have to conduct, and it's starting to feel like I'll never truly get away.

My past was filled with mistakes, and knocking on a strange man’s door for a taste of his spicy food to satiate my craving was bound to be another one. The sparks were instant, and the bond I never expected to have grew, leaving me afloat as my due date loomed overhead. I thought my pregnancy would be the issue that kept us apart, and I’d raise my child alone. I hoped I was wrong, but everything in my world was uncertain. Adding Jeremy, Devon, and Nate to the mix might not be helpful.

I’ve often dreamed of bumping into the three hot alphas I spent my school days crushing over. In those dreams, I’m sexy and sophisticated. The kind of omega who knocks them off their feet. Unfortunately, the day that dream becomes a reality – the day I’m reunited with Pack Hart – I’m dressed as a Christmas elf. Yep, an elf – complete with pointy ears, stripy stockings and bells on my shoes.

I'd just wanted a bit of fun with the beautiful alpha I'd run into at the concert, one night to let off steam, and then we could go our separate ways. I hadn't known he was a rock superstar. Or that one wild night would leave me bonded and pregnant by an alpha who probably forgot I existed the moment I walked out his door. After many months of burying my head in the sand, I decided I had to track him down. But finding a world-famous rockstar—that wasn't the hard part.

University life suited her: books and quiet evenings with her bunny were just fine, if a bit boring.

That had been the plan, before her best friend dragged her to a chaotic hockey game and threw a wrench in everything. When action on the ice takes an unexpected turn, #58 - Grayson Wood - comes crashing through the boards—and right through Molly’s dreams of a quiet life.

They're big, bad, with appendages so massive they could make a cobra blush. But me and three monsters? Never going to happen. Too bad for me, hot, buff alphas don't handle rejection well . . .

They say you can never go back… ‘Course, I never wanted to return. It took me years to age out. Once I made it, I took off and never turned around. Trust me, there were only three reasons I managed to survive there as long as I did and they abandoned me as soon as they were able. I’d like to say I didn’t blame them, but that would be a lie. I had zero desire to return. Yet here I was, on the road to Northland chasing a story cause my editor told me kids were disappearing… again.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

I moved out to LA to participate in a Graphic Design scholarship that turned out to be fake. That was just my luck. But there was no way I could return home. Not to the already disappointed faces of my parents, who have never believed that ‘fiddling around on your computer’ was an actual career. Not back to my friends who thought I was insane for breaking up with my long-term boyfriend to move out here in the first place. Not back to Georgia, full stop.

After spending the last three months on My Fairytale, a show that promised I'd find my future pack and finally get my happily ever after, I realized it was too good to be true. My chosen pack humiliated me in front of the world, and now the only thing I can do is outrun the spotlight. I find myself moving a few hours away, ready to start a new life. But the past isn't ready to let me go. Family is using me for their fifteen minutes, I have interviews I still have to conduct, and it's starting to feel like I'll never truly get away.

This Omega doesn’t do drama, drugs, or hockey players. The first two for obvious reasons. The last because I don’t shit where I eat. As the daughter of the Phoenix Heat’s owner, I know better than to dip my toes into that particular pool. The league is way too small a world, and I am a drama-free zone. When my daddy strongly suggests (read: insists) I come home for a visit, how can I say no? But without my besties by my side, there’s no one to stop me from making an epicly stupid decision when I discover the Heat’s captain in a compromising position.

Narration Type: Duet Narration
The heroine: Nova Stone - she has terrible anxiety, which got even worse on the night two cops showed up at her door to tell her that her parents died in a car accident. She had inherited everything from her parents including a chiropractic office for which the partner bought her out and the home she lived in. Weeks later she finds out that she has a half brother name Huey that she knew nothing about, and his mother died of a postpartum aneurism. She had been living like a ghost in her childhood home, wallowing in her grief and anxiety, so finding out that her father had an affair, and a baby was shocking.
The Heroes: River Cooper, Rigby Engman, Devan Mason - River was an NHL defenseman for the Ann Arbor Ice Caps. He had promised his foster sister Alana that he would take care of the baby if anything happened to her. He doesn’t want to let her down again, like he did when she got pregnant by a married man and ghosted. Rigby is River’s teammate and one of his best friends. Devan is another of Rivers best friends, his former foster brother and a billionaire businessman. He was smooth and emotionless, and used his money to get what he wanted. They were all products of their upbringing.
The story: Since Nova was the only blood relation of a six-week-old baby with a congenital heart defect, she feared that he wouldn’t be adopted if she turned down custody. Nova was now an orphan and since her brother was an orphan, she figured they were made for each other. She read every baby book, bought all kinds of baby furniture and prepared to get Huey. However, a week before she was supposed to be awarded the baby by the court, she found that the mother had been a foster child and some of her foster siblings had filed for custody. She also found that they were celebrities.
The guys are determined to do whatever they have to do in order to have access to baby Huey. They had loved Alana and had seen her as a sister. They offered Nova a bargain that she didn’t feel she could turn down. They would move her in with them and raise the baby together. Nova was alone and she knew that having the guys in his life would be what was best for Huey, since they obviously loved him and though she had enough money to raise him, she didn’t have the kind of money that they did.
The only thing I didn’t like about this story was that when the press gets wind of the unconventional relationship between the main characters, the heroine uses that as an excuse to bail, even though they were all very happy with each other. I hate it in books when people do weak things and use the reasoning that they are doing it for the other person or people.
This audiobook was told in multiple points of view via duet narration and was narrated by Shiloh James and Greyson Owens. Greyson has a nice voice which is very pleasant, and he is good at doing different voices for different characters. Shiloh James has a soft feminine voice which works well for this character, and I enjoyed the narration quite a bit.

Did not expect Nova to be held at gun point.
It was a great story, loved it overall, though the first few chapters were hard to stay interested in. But once past that defdefinitely one of the best books I've listened too.

Sweet love story
I found this book just meh. It wasn’t necessarily boring but just not gripping or adventurous. I loved the aspect of joint parenting and that all the characters just wanted to be a part of Huey’s life. I found each male character endearing and the FMC seemed kind of weak. (Or it could’ve just been the female narrator that made her seem that way). However she did everything she could for the sake of the baby which I liked.
Narration was good. The female narrator annoyed me a bit with her soft, bland tone.

Made me Smile and swoon
This sorry made my heart happy. I really liked the characters and the story. The narrator did a great job bringing character to life.
The only thing I wish about this book is that there were more group activities. However there were some good steamy moments.
I would recommend this book as a good read and audiobook.
