About this listen

Hockey star Alexander Crossman has a reputation as a cold-hearted player on and off the ice. Pushed into the sport by his alcoholic father, Alex isn't afraid to give fans the proverbial middle finger, relishing his role as the MVP they love to hate. Management, however, isn't so amused. Now Alex has a choice: fix his public image through community service or ride the bench. But Alex refuses to be molded into the Carolina Cold Fury poster boy... not even by a tempting redhead with killer curves.

As a social worker, Sutton Price is accustomed to difficult people like Alex, who's been assigned to help her create a drug-abuse awareness program for at-risk youth as part of the Fury's effort to clean up his image. What she doesn't expect is the arrogant smirk from his perfect lips stirring her most heated fantasies. But Sutton isn't one to cross professional boundaries-and besides, Alex doesn't do relationships... or does he?

The more she sees behind Alex's bad-boy façade, the more Sutton craves the man she uncovers.

I liked the idea behind the story part of the book, however, the female character was so focused on internal thoughts on the guy that the author in my opinion ruined the story. The story stopped so frequently when it was the woman’s narrative to lust after the guy that it got completely repetitive and uninteresting. I think that balance plays a huge part in any book, but the balance was just nonexistent in this one.
I find that people who really enjoy books often engage in their imagination to follow along in the story. Visually seeing the story play out as they read. This book didn’t allow for a flow of imagination, picturing the characters was really easy when reading from the guys point of view, but the females view really shut the possibility down.
The saying “ less is more” really should have been taken to heart when developing the females side, it painted females as mindless and unable to focus on their passion in work when a male interests them. I think authors who confirm that in these books are a huge part of the issue and i think it’s really sad..
