About this listen
From USA Today and Amazon Top 5 Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes a Fake Dating, Teach Me, Spicy Sports Romance.
A little white lie never hurt anyone . . . or so I thought.
One fake date and we’d go our separate ways, at least that’s how hockey’s hottest golden boy—Nixon Sinclair—convinced me this would work. But it turns out, Nix had other plans.
Now I’m sneaking around with my brother’s teammate, refusing to admit he’s everything I want but never knew I needed.
Irresistibly dirty mouth—Check.
Panty-meltingly possessive—Check. Check.
Toe-curling lessons in the bedroom—Check. Check. Triple Check.
But when fun leads to feelings, our little white lie starts to feel a little too real.
And if I’m not careful, I’ll be the one hurt in the end.

Story
Easton Hayes has been my knight in shining hockey skates since he saved my life. This devastatingly handsome grump may be everyone's favorite goalie, but to me, he's my strength when demons haunt my dreams. And okay—so maybe he's also the only man I've ever loved. But he doesn't need to know that. We're friends. It works for us.

Story
This man is temptation personified. He’s six feet four inches of rock-solid, golden muscles that are inked to perfection and proudly displayed every time he steps into the cage. I’m the idiot who agreed to stay with him for the next few days. Hudson “The King” Kingston knew he had a fight coming up when he risked himself to save me. How could I say no when he needed a friend to help him out? Because that’s exactly what we’ve always been—friends. Friends who flirt. Friends who tease. Friends who never cross that line.

I met my dream girl. That’s right. She’s stunning and the worst bartender I’ve ever seen. I should have gone home and gone to sleep—dream girl or not. I had an early morning and the season was starting soon. But when she threatened me with boy band karaoke, I couldn't help myself. I went. The stars aligned. I have never felt more alive or wanted anyone more than I want her.

No thanks to a fire in the dorms, he just became my accidental roommate. Did I mention the hotel room our university moved us to has only one bed? Not ideal.

Forevers don’t exist when you’re on the run. Amelia cannot get attached - not to the town or the people in it. And definitely not to the tall, dark, and handsome mafia prince who sweet-talks his way past her carefully built walls. Why put yourself through that, knowing it’ll all be ripped away when you leave? And she will have to leave. This life isn’t hers to keep. Sam calls her Snow, like the fairy-tale princess. But her life is far from a fairy tale. Even a prince can’t change that.

Story
A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country… Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing. Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me. But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start. In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also–wait for it–my brand new roommate.

Growing up, I was the youngest member of my family. Sheltered and protected by my older brother and his friends. Always on the outside looking in. College was supposed to be my chance for a fresh start. My opportunity to figure out who I am and what I want. I thought I knew what I wanted until he charged back into my life and changed the game. Cooper Sinclair was my brother’s best friend long before he became my stepbrother. A navy SEAL who’s owned my heart since the day we met. Loving him was easy. But time was never on our side, and stolen moments only last so long.

I’ve always been a wild card–the first to start a fight on the ice, and the life of the party off it–but appearances can be deceiving. Being traded to the Boston Rebels could not have come at a better time. With serious family obligations to fulfill and a contract renewal with a new hockey team on the line, I have no time for anything else. I return to Boston knowing I need to buckle down and focus on what really matters.

I made a deal with my brother a long time ago to never date his teammates. Technically, Rowan Landry, the hot as hell center for the Chicago Falcons, is no longer my brother’s teammate. Or his best friend. Their college days are long behind them, and they barely talk now. Also, I’m not dating him—we’re just sleeping together. There’s a difference.

The first time I met Dawson Reed, we wound up in bed. The problem was, neither of us knew the other were there. When I woke up in the middle of the night and found a stranger next to me, instinct kicked in and I attacked the intruder. Only it turned out, the man wasn’t an intruder at all. Dawson had rented this cabin, too. Apparently, a system glitch allowed a duplicate booking. We’d soon find out we were in town for the same wedding, and Dawson was the groomsman I’d been warned about. He was as tall, dark and jaw-droppingly gorgeous as my best friend had described.

The scowl should’ve been my first clue to stay far away from Anson Hunt. The sexy smirk and the fact that he’s my brother’s best friend? Reasons two and three. Not to mention, he’s the new contractor working on my house. He’s everything I’m not: grumpy, rude, and more than a little attached to his solitude. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to kill him with kindness; the man simply won’t crack. Until he sees me shatter. Because when my world comes crashing down around me, Anson is the one catching me as I fall.

Story
Logan Murphy should come with a warning. He’s as hot as a Carolina Reaper on black asphalt in the middle of July. With perfectly messy dark hair and smoldering blue eyes—and don’t even get me started on the way that black tee stretches across his toned chest… He’s my brother’s best friend. He’s also a football star on track to win the first wide-receiver MVP in league history. Good thing I only date golfers… or I did.

Story
Foolish women fall in love with the bad boy. Cane Alexander was bad boy personified. Confident, he entered a room with his piercing blue eyes wearing a smug grin. He was the proverbial red flag wrapped up in a ridiculous set of abs. I tried to resist him. After all, I was done being a fool. Maybe it was his charm, or perhaps it was his persistence. Maybe it was how he entered my life and refused to leave. Whatever the reason, I fell for the one man I should’ve resisted.

When grumpy, muscled-up artist Bennett Bishop bothers to speak, it’s usually to say something you’re not ready to hear. When he first speaks to Norah Ellis, a rambling runaway bride who hitchhikes a ride from him, it’s to tell her to get out of his truck and walk because she’s a pain in the a-s-s. By appearance, Norah Ellis is a fancy fashionista who’s spent the last several years living the good life in the city—expensive apartments, highbrow events, and a fiancé with wealth and good looks. The only problem is that she didn’t choose any of it for herself.

Story
The first time I met Dawson Reed, we wound up in bed. The problem was, neither of us knew the other were there. When I woke up in the middle of the night and found a stranger next to me, instinct kicked in and I attacked the intruder. Only it turned out, the man wasn’t an intruder at all. Dawson had rented this cabin, too. Apparently, a system glitch allowed a duplicate booking. We’d soon find out we were in town for the same wedding, and Dawson was the groomsman I’d been warned about. He was as tall, dark and jaw-droppingly gorgeous as my best friend had described.

Lennox Kennedy is beautiful, loud, and the love of my life. She's also my ex-girlfriend. The first time I saw her after ten years apart, I slammed into the plexiglass minutes before our game was set to begin. The second time I threw up. The third time's a charm apparently because as my fiancée and I walked into an appointment to meet the woman hired to plan our nuptials—there she was again. Obviously, I did what any smart man would do—I called off the wedding. I don't have a plan per se, other than winning back the only girl I've ever loved.

I made a deal with my brother a long time ago to never date his teammates. Technically, Rowan Landry, the hot as hell center for the Chicago Falcons, is no longer my brother’s teammate. Or his best friend. Their college days are long behind them, and they barely talk now. Also, I’m not dating him—we’re just sleeping together. There’s a difference.

Yes, the shy, grumpy twin of Henry Cavill who sits at the end of my bar needs to convince his absurdly rich family that he's capable of a normal social life.

Then move on to lovers.

A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country… Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing. Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me. But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start. In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also–wait for it–my brand new roommate.

Sexy and fun
Nixon and Kenzie gave me all the romantic feels I needed for this friends-to-lovers, fake-dating romance. Nixon has had a crush on her since he was a hormone infused boy. And now he’s fake dating her. Can this turn to something real? Nixon’s directness is sexy as hell. He’s so sweet how he loves her. And his rapport with his family and friends is hilarious.
I just love romance is like this. They go down easy. They are entertaining and fun to listen to. It’s sexy and makes you feel good by the end of it. And let me tell you it’s steamy with a capital S. Throw in some praise kink and it’s a memorable listen.
Lance does such a good humorous snarky character and it’s perfect for Nixon, especially when he’s chatting with all his friends, ribbing each other as friends do. I did think that certain parts of his narration were a bit sing-songy for my taste. But overall, his style worked for Nixon’s personality. Erin Mallon personifies Kenzie and her struggles with love. The pair of them worked well together.
Although I’ve only read the first book in the Kings of Kroydon Hills series I didn’t feel I was missing anything with this second-generation book. Bella Matthews does a great job at world building and not making me feel lost with all of the past characters making a presence. It made me want to jump in and read the back log and enjoy all of the books before this.

Perfect romance
I first read this book as a ebook and this was my first Bella Matthew’s book that introduced me to this world. I really enjoyed diving into this story once again as I have read some of her other books and I am more familiar with the characters so I enjoyed it even more this time around. The narrator chosen for Kenzie and Nix did a wonderful job. I really enjoyed hearing the emotions in the book and I feel like they really brought the character to life for me. I also enjoyed how quick of a read this audiobook was for me I was able to speed it up and still listen to it and understand what was going on. I loved that the narrators kept me engaged and I was able to complete it within a couple of hours.

fall in love!
I thought I was in love with this story when I simply read the book. But hearing it jump off the pages like this? it's absolute perfection!!! There were a couple spots where I felt things were said a little odd, but I think they was more too natural accents coming through and honestly? They made the characters more real to me.
Something about a man having a special nickname for the woman he loves just makes me swoon. Especially when he’s done it for years without her even realizing. Nixon is a perfect mix of alpha man and total sweetheart, and he knows when to use each one.
Then there’s Mac. Who absolutely loves the nickname and that Nixon is the only one to use it. She’s been feeling wanted for years without it clicking in her mind until one day…poof!

I really enjoyed diving into this story once again as I have read some of her other books and I am more familiar with the characters so l enjoyed it even more this time around. The narrator chosen for Kenzie and Nix did an amazing job. I really enjoyed hearing the emotions in the book and I feel like they really brought the character to life for me.

So Many Tomorrows
These Kings of Kroydon Hills are a sexy bunch of buff alphas, zooming on their ice blades and straight into readers hearts. A perfect mix of sassy & sizzle, it's a swoon-worthy read that kept me engrossed
Ava Erickson, Erin Mallon & Lance Greenfield just made it all the more Enticing in narration.
This is my first by Bella and I'm hooked by her even paced writing. The sassy banter and character development is spot on, two essentials in keeping the reader engaged.
I loved the hilarious inner thoughts of kenzie.
Very Demure. Very mindful. Very hilarious
"Can’t put my finger on what I’m in the mood for . . . Could be tacos and a margarita. A little online shopping? Maybe an O . . . Yup. That’s it. Ding-ding-ding! O is the winner. —Kenzie’s Secret Thoughts "
Nix is mindful of the fact that she's his teammate's baby sister, so off limits. But his little man apparently doesn't get the memo. The chemistry, the connection, the lust is bubbling up. When she asks for a favour, he jumps on it. Close proximity is promised, added benefit of their proposed, fake relationship, but he'll take whatever she's willing to have.
"If I did anything right in my life, it was loving you.
Today. Tomorrow. Always. —Nixon’s Secret Thoughts"
It's book 1 in a new fresh series and a standalone, so we aren't missing on anything.
Star On Ice - Nixon Sinclair is panty-melting hot and kenzie heart just beats a little louder and faster whenever he's near. She's his teenage crush and he's now in pursuit.
She asks him to teach her sexy stuff, since she's almost inexperienced. He's eager and willing.
Spice level goes way high when they explore each other. Bella keeps adorable and sizzle together. Hiding from the rest of the cast keeps the anticipation and naughtiness on the fore.
I loved the love fragrance that envelops you from the first chapter adn I'm fully engulphed when I closed it.
4.5 stars for So Many Tomorrows

Sweet & Spicy❤️🔥Fabulous Story & Narration🎧
Checking out new to me authors is one of my favorite things and even better when you find a gem that leaves you with a great impression, and that is exactly what Bella Matthews did with her wonderful writing style, and the fabulous characters and storylines she created. This first book of the series is Dr. Mackenzie “Kenzie” Hayes and Nixon Sinclair’s story, a sport romance with a unique spin on the fake dating and teach me trope, and to complicate matters and add more depth he is her brother’s teammate. There are some great secondary characters too, familial, friend and family connections. Nixon always had a crush on Kenzie, and when he saw one of her colleagues making her feel uncomfortable, he jumped in and told him he was her boyfriend, catching on quickly she went along with it, hoping her doctor colleague would back off. Nixon was happy to spend more time with her and they both felt comfortable with each other enough for her to share her inexperience in the love department, which is something he could help her with. The chemistry between them was smoking hot, and it was great to watch their never really fake relationship morph into something way more, even better when they finally realized it. This wonderfully plotted story is captivating from start to end and has the perfect balance of drama, charm, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance, as well as great character growth and development and world building. Bella Matthews, thank you for this fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Lance Greenfield, Erin Mallon and Ava Erickson are the perfect cast to bring these characters to life and do so with a complete understanding of who they are portraying, giving each a voice that is fitting. I loved how they took each role and made it their own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. Greenfield nailed it as Nixon, showcasing every aspect of his personality, and Mallon did the same as Kenzie and was as just as amazing. Erickson was a fabulous addition, a natural in her enthusiastic cameo appearances as she relays the scoop. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These entertaining storytellers are a joy to listen to and their performance not only elevates the already great story to another level, but your listening experience too. Thanks for another wonderful listen.

Falling Hard!
Get ready to ignore everyone for a couple hours while Nixon and Kenzie burn up your earbuds! This one is a quick listen but so worth it, narrators did a great job. Nixon has a had a crush on Kenzie since his sister’s brought her home as a teenager but she had no clue. I absolutely love a good FMC that is brilliant, successful and oblivious to how great she is. I loved that there was no third act break-up.
