About this listen

She's my friend's little sister. But I've ached for her for years...and I won't be denied.

What does the star center for the Minnesota Caribou professional hockey team do in the face of the ultimate betrayal?

Right, I've sworn off women because I caught my fiancee with my brother. Now, they're both dead to me. They represent an ache so deep, I might never recover.

I've never known a goal I couldn't score - or a girl I couldn't score with. Until I see her curled up in a sexy ball in my hospital room.

She's off-limits. Julia Wales is lush, smart, more determined than I am, and 100 percent taboo. For the first time in my life, I want someone I can't have. She's the successful business owner who obeys every rule. I'm the guy who breaks them.

Not since my injury have I shown a woman my scars. Until now...and there's no going back.

Contains mature themes.

Enjoyed the book but didn’t really enjoy the uselessness of the female character at times - she just seemed a little “help me”.
but otherwise the rest of the listen was great!

Good listen!

FC grated on nerves and had to stop half way. Teddy’s performance made it worth getting that far through.

MC 👌🏻 FC was boring and super annoying wouldn’t bother

This had so much potential to be a good book but both Julia and Heather are such dramatic whiny little women throughout the WHOLE BOOK and it frustrated me to no end. Not to mention how this should have all ended when Julia's business bounced back but instead it was pushed out with a bunch of unnecessary rubbish AND THEN everything came out... plus a bunch of more rubbish.

The audiobook was good because of our boy Teddy but the thing who narrated Julia kept sounding like she was a 50 years old when imitating someone else when in fact they were mid 20's..

Do not recommend 🙄

Honestly I hate giving a bad review but this book was a struggle to get through. I feel so bad saying but it was just not it. Everything was so predictable and not in the comforting way. The time line was overly confusing. It was just not enjoyable. I found myself not wanting to listening. I almost didn’t finish it but just didn’t want to quit

This was a struggle.

I found this book to be a struggle to finish. I continually lost track of what was going on. It seemed that the ideas and events were very jumping and hard to keep track of. There was a lack of character identify I feel, and I didn't get attached to any of them to be interested in the book.

Meh kinda book
