A rookie plays for keeps in this darkly seductive hockey romance from the USA Today-bestselling author of The Wrong Quarterback.

"You're going to fall in love with me. It's only a matter of time."

Trapped in a life she never wanted, Sloane is subject to the whims of rich, powerful men. She survives by playing the part, but inside she feels nothing. Because having feelings is dangerous. She's managed to stay numb for so long . . . until a rookie hockey player spots her and turns her whole world upside down.

When Logan York pulls Sloane into his arms after the first game of the Stanley Cup Finals, the crowd goes wild. But what's wilder is the way Sloane finds herself kissing him back. Logan's relentless pursuit has her feeling reckless and out of control, and she can't afford to be careless.

She refuses to date him, but Logan's not taking no for an answer. He needs Sloane to be his forever, and when he learns what kind of life she's been living he's determined to save her—even if it means hiring her for himself.

Sloane tells herself it's just another job, that Logan is just another client. But a client has never wanted her for anything more than her body before. And Logan will break every rule to get Sloane's heart in the game.

The storyline was great. The narrators amazing! I love when the epilog gives updates on not only the main characters but on the other characters we love just as much from the previous books!

The plot started similar to the other books, but it was darker in a different way. I wasn't as empathetic for the FMC, Sloane, because you think she could’ve left anytime. However, you realize how young and manipulated she was, and she probably would've ended up doing what she did without the false illusion of control. The MMC, Logan, wasn't as unhinged as Walker or the other MMCs and never gave up. I liked Lincoln better as a side character, especially in this book, and I liked how all FMCs came together without judgment. The texts between the circle of trust was hilarious.

The Rookies book is finally here, and I'm so glad to dive back into The Pucking Wrong series. This is Logan & Sloane's book, and we get a new FMC with a different traumatic background. Get ready for the tattooed NHL Star Rookie and the Escort that starts out with a rival player.

Tropes:
🏒 Dark Hockey Romance
🎨 InstaLove, He Falls First & Hard
🏒 NHL Star & the Escort/S3x Worker
🎨 He Hires Her to Spend Time w/ Her
🏒 He Saves Her
🎨 Stalker(ish) Vibes & Red Flags 🚩🚩
🏒 Man Obsessed/Jealous/Protective
🎨 Traumatic Past FMC
🏒 Found Family

You'll still get all the funny parts with the Circle of Trust group chat & activities, Grandma Airlines, and new Geraldine team get togethers that may include a new statue in the middle of all the ones of her husband that is very accurate. Plus, a new drunken guys trip to the tattoo parlor for a new Peen 🍆 decoration. Plus, the tattoo artist conversation with Logan trying to get him to tell him it's a 🏳️‍🌈 thing b/w all of them. I laughed so many times in this book from just the people the Circle of Trust knows. Plus, the guys name the girls group, and I love their name! And the guys have shirts made for the girls with their group name.

The narrators in this book are the same 2 that are in all 'The Pucking Wrong' audiobooks, Troy Duran and Alexis Paige. I do enjoy listening to these two together, but maybe not for every book. Alexis Paige's voice could be used for any FMC because she can change her voice to fit so many roles.
It's just Troy Duran's voice that always sounds the same and doesn't fit every MMC. His voice is so deep and gruff and raspy. It naturally makes him sound older. I don't think his voice particularly sounds like a 21-35yr old male. It would be nice to hear a change every so often, but that's just my opinion.

This one was good! I did enjoy what I read, but this didn’t give me the same vibes that I was getting from the first few in the series, and I think that kinda killed my mood. Rookie is a little on the lighter side, and was wanting unhinged like LD and AL. 😂

I did really enjoy the audio! That was a lot of fun to listen to. 🙂‍↔️

CR Jane with her OTT athletes never disappoint and The Rookie Logan doesn’t either! Great banter with the COT, the found family and bringing new characters into the fold. Already excited for the next stories to arrive! CR keeps her readers in the story til the end. Great narrators who truly bring the characters to life!

Seriously I didn’t think it was possible to fall hard for another hockey player but here I am falling hard for the rookie.
Honestly this story was great we got more of the circle of trust interference especially the ring leader, Lincoln. So if you’re a fan of Mr Daniel’s you will get plenty of him in this. But this is the story of Sloane and Logan and they have a great chemistry and just like our other hockey men Logan falls first and hard. He will not stop until she’s his.
Sloane has alot to work through in regards to her twisted sense of love and affection and what true feelings are. After being groomed and manipulated into being an escort by someone she trusted, her uncle. Logan will stop at nothing to make sloane see her worth and that she’s so much more than what she thinks. Morally grey green flagged men are at your service yet again!!!

Another perfect hockey romance

This was a fun read. That being said if you’ve read the rest of the series it’s pretty predictable. It was fun to have the circle of trust back and grandma airlines lol

I enjoyed it

Logan like the others is over the top hilarious with his stalker antics and while some might consider it red flags, they are total green flags for Sloane. She has been and felt alone since her mom passed and her uncle took full advantage of her. My heart broke listening to what her uncle was doing. But I loved how Logan was all in from first sight and saved her. He gave her the power back. Though it was for selfish reasons to start, he helped her see her worth. They were such a sexy couple with so much trauma and emotion!
