Does Cupid have a nice list? Never mind. Forget it. I'm breaking up with Valentine's Day.

It started innocently enough with a harmless inquiry about a cute guy at a coffee shop. The goal was to get back into the romance game. The search turned into a social media frenzy. #DesperatelySeekingDane was not available. Talk about a buzzkill.

Just when I thought things couldn't become more dramatic, a TV production company reached out to me as a last-minute contestant in a dating contest because of my five minutes of online fame. It was an instant yes because one of the three bachelors was a major movie star and my lifelong crush.

Here's the twist: I'm matched with the third-place prize, a daredevil hockey player I can't stand. Let's just say we have a brief but storied history involving shrill whistles, spilled coffee, and a bloody incident in an elevator.

However, it turns out the date is only the opening act. We end up in each other's debt, resulting in a meet-the-parents situation. But we kind of hit it off. As things heat up between us, sparks fly and the ice begins to melt. Can I be falling for the guy I loathe?

This is a clean, sweet, closed-door hockey romcom with lots of sweet kisses and a happily ever after.

Happy to read a well written and posted out story with no cussing or over sexualization of love. I liked both characters and the story was a happy jaunt through how they both think they want one thing but realize they want something else altogether. side characters were fun and a bit under developed but not so much so that they were flat. A good read.

Refreshing

I wish every book was like this

This is a very enjoyable lighthearted love story. Hockey Bad boy meets girl-next-door which does not go well. Fun to listen to. Narration excellent.

Very Cute Story

Not my favorite and kind of hard to listen to when the voice actors switch character voices

Slow moving and kind of surface level

This book had so much potential and then the MFC KILLED it. At least for me she did. Have you ever had one of those friends who lived their romantic life in a perpetual fairy tale that got so indignant and angry when they got b***h slapped with a reality check and blamed the guy for not being what they wanted? This describes Delaney. She's impulsive (which is how she got into her predicament), flighty, and the epitome of a typical air head. I know that she was supposed to come off as funny but, for me, it was just dumb. She stars by taking out a personal ad looking for a cute guy she spotted in a coffee shop at a place she works at. She doesn't start with the qualifier that 'if he is single' she would be interested in meeting up with him. Turns out...he wasn't. Soon she becomes a running joke at work and a meme for the internet. Then she makes a scene at her job by trying to force another stranger to follow the rules by blowing a whistle at him...A LOT...only succeeding in making herself look even more silly. If he didn't obey the rules she should have just contacted security to enforce them.

Follow this with agreeing to go on a reality dating show with a group of other people to help offset her silly image the personal ad had created. Yeah, like THAT would make it better. She does this when she finds out one of her movie star crushs will be on and proceeds to spin a fantasy world around the 2 of them where they meet on the show, spend some time together, and fall madly in love. Ummm...isn't that what she did before with coffee shop guy? Did she learn NOTHING from THAT train wreck? Then she ends up getting paired off by TV audiences with none other then, yup, you guessed it, whistle guy from earlier. She proceeds to pitch a fit as she watches her celebrity crush waltz off with a different girl. All her hope and dreams are dashed as she gets saddled with the "cheap" date package with this guy who happens to be a famous hockey star athlete. From there she proceeds to complain, whine, and scoff at everything while still day dreaming about her crush and trying to figure out a way to be with him. What follows is one ridiculous scenario after another while increasingly stupid things continue to come out of her mouth. I finally gave up and returned it to the Plus library, thanking my lucky stars that I hadn't wasted anything but some time on it. I'm going to follow my statement with my usual warning. Just becaues I didn't like this book doesn't mean it's not a good book for someone else who may enjoy a storyline like this. To me it was just too immature and unrealistic. I'd encourage others to look at it and form their own opinion, especially since it is included in the Audible Plus catalog if it sounds like something you may enjoy even though I didn't.

NARRATION:
Liam DiCosimo: I didn't get to hear much of him but I did enjoy the parts I did hear. He did a very good job with reading in a natural tone, didn't sound stiff, his timing and inflection were good. He kept his tone even while managing to infuse his character with emotion without yelling or getting loud when the part called for it. Something (as someone with sensitive ears) I appreciated.

Samantha Summers: When she was reading a character that was NOT Delaney she wasn't bad to listen to. When she was reading Delaney's character she got very loud, shrill, and actually tripped over some of the words in an effort to match the character of Delaney who was obnoxious all her own without giving her that loud annoying voice to match. For that reason I'm not going to say she was unpleasant to listen to (although I did skim past her parts quite a bit) as long as she wasn't repesenting Delaney. I will probably see if I can find another book she narrates and listen to that one to see if she could become one of my favorites because it seems she may have potential, provided she can keep in mind that audio book listeners almost alway listen to a story using EARBUDS. This means that the speaker is just centimeters away from a person's eardrum. Think about that the next time you're bellowing into that microphone to express excitement, anger, or any other loud emotion. Your career will last a lot longer.
