About this listen

As a high school hockey star, I was on track for greatness. Until an opponent attacked me on the ice, leaving me half blind.

For the past twenty-seven years, I’ve avoided hockey and its painful memories. But when my old teammates get back together to play in a local recreational league, I realize it could be a chance to rewrite history. The only person standing in my way is Jack Gross.

Hockey isn’t complete without a rivalry, and ours comes courtesy of the Blades: they’re younger, faster, and fronted by Jack, a former professional hockey player who hates my guts after a rooftop hookup gone wrong.

His cockiness and penchant for pranks make me hate him right back. But Jack has a special way of getting under my skin that makes me want to get into his pants. And well, I only have so much willpower.

As our teams get closer to a showdown on the ice, Jack begins shedding his armor of confidence. Despite getting to live the life I dreamed of, maybe Jack is as messed up as me.

The championship game could redeem the past for us both. But there can only be one winner. Will victory taste as sweet if it costs me Jack?

Gross Misconduct is a rivals to lovers, age gap, single dad, gay romance with no cheating and an HEA. It is book 1 in The Comebacks, a series about a friend group of single dads who were hockey all-stars in high school and looking to recapture the magic in their forties. Whether they win or lose, there's always a post-game beer.

5 Stars are not enough - I was captivated!

5 stars not enough.

I'm a fan of AJ Truman, but I haven't been this captivated by an audio in a long time!

It grabbed me within the first minute of so and didn't let go until the closing credits.

Age gap is my personal catnip, add in the son of his enemy, well that's more than OK by me!

But it was more than that, and I don't really know what it was. The story just grabbed me and wouldn't let go. The whole cast of characters just kept me enthralled.

The narration was excellent. I'm a fan of both Alexander Cendese and Nick J Russo, but I haven't heard them together before, but I was impressed. I wasn't sure how their two accents would blend, but it really did work with Nick taking the character of the steadier, loveable and intimately vulnerable Griffin and Alexander as the hot shot Jack with a vulnerable core. It just worked!

Interconnected with the other Sourwood stories, but it's not necessary to have read/listened to any that have come before. If you have, you'll have a bit more of an inside scoop when those characters appear, but it takes nothing away to come to this story completely fresh.

I highly highly recommend it.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
