Publisher's Summary

Dump my cheating ex? Check. Land an amazing job with Boston’s professional hockey franchise? Check. Fall stupidly in love with hockey’s favorite bad boy? Ugh.

After wasting years of my life with the wrong person, I told myself all I wanted was a little no-strings fun. Enter Alex Braun - a wealthy, handsome, notorious playboy who’s equal parts charming and dangerous as hell to my wounded heart. After enduring a very public breakup of his own, the sexy player doesn’t want to be anyone’s forever. Too bad he barreled his way into my heart, instead of just my bed. 

But this professional athlete knows a thing or two about competing, and he won’t let go so easily.

Great follow up from “The Rebel “

The story was lovely. Jacob should read all the lines that the male characters speak. Vanessa has a beautiful voice but I struggle to enjoy her male voice adaptation. Please start doing narratives with male reading male lines and female reading female lines. Thank you

Inbetween

I used to love Kendall Ryan's books and I still do. I have found lately that they are lacking in depth a little. Personally I think it's more of a personal preference but I still enjoy listening to her books. They are always great with a romance chase and you internally squeal when they finally get together every time.

I recommend this book for a light read, it's not heavy but still has the romance we all love. It's great for when you want to escape reality.

Awesome 💜💕

I love this series and I definitely love these hockey 🏒 players. Who wouldn’t want more . These two characters are gorgeous together. They may have taken a bit longer to figure it out but thank the hockey 🏒 gods they do . Perfect 💕💜🏒💜💕
