About this listen

Performed with duet narration by Connor Crais and Erin Mallon!

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.

I’m a good student turned good librarian. A rule-follower. I’m not the kind of girl who does complicated flings. So we agree to another rule: friends-only.

It’s not easy though. Wes is bossy, flirty and generous.

He gives me rides to work.

Pitches in at my library’s fundraiser.

Takes care of me when I get hurt.

And looks at me like I’m the only one.

Soon, I’m falling hard for my brother’s teammate.

Especially when Wes comes to my door and tells me exactly how he’d like to break our rules.

Every single one.

Beautiful 📚🏒🫶🏽✨

I definitely loved their story and their journey . Exploring everything on her list together . He always noticed her and letting her know she is seeing and appreciated with everything she does . He worships her . Perfect . I especially love listening to Connor and Erin who did a fabulous job bringing their story to life. I can’t wait for the next instalment. ✨🫶🏽📚🫶🏽🏒🫶🏽✨

Cute, by-the-book hockey romance - duet style

A comfort if forgettable read with likable characters. This is more lighthearted romance than rom-com. I particularly loved the sweet note exchanges.

Connor Crais and Erin Mallon seem to often be paired up, but as much as I love Crais and could listen to him read a take-out menu, Mallon’s narration style really doesn’t do it for me. When she’s narrating, I find it hard to differentiate between the character’s inner thoughts and dialogue due to her delivery style. But I know other listeners love her, so it might just be a me thing. I’d recommend listening to a sample to see how you feel about it.

Narration style: Duet for FMC & MMC, Duel for all other characters.
Spice level: 🌶️ 🌶️ .5
Tropes: ONS, forced proximity, captain’s sister, secret romance, forbidden romance (kinda, low stakes)
