Publisher's summary

He's a professional hockey player that lives on the edge. I prefer to play life by the rules.

I'm the personal assistant at a sports agency that no one notices. I don't like sports, and I like professional athletes even less. I'm indifferent to the mostly male clientele, except for one. Mica "the savage" Petrov.

When it comes to wild antics, Mica is the biggest offender of them all. He's reckless, wild, and carelessly charming. I'm mortified that I find him attractive. But it doesn't matter because the guy hasn't taken a second look at me. Not once. In two years.

Mica's career-jeopardizing situation requires drastic measures to be taken to keep him in the game. He's got money, I've got debt, and my boss has a crazy idea. Which is how I found myself stepping up to save him from himself. But at what cost?

How long can I keep fighting my attraction? What ghosts from his past is he brawling with? All I know is that I need to defend my heart before this big defenseman steals it away. Can we win this game? Or is it too late for either of us?

Contains mature themes.

romance with a bit of suspense

This was a great book that had both a great steamy romance and just the right amount of suspense. It is a book that will keep you turning the pages. I highly recommend this book

Great story, atrocious narration

Story is great, the narration is unbearable. I actually returned the book and downloaded the kindle version to finish it. The voices did nothing to enhance this story.

Wolverine Book 3

Membership read book 2 and now 3.
overall 5 ⭐️, narrators 3⭐️, Story 5 ⭐️
I almost passed on the whole audio experience with Kydd's stoner/surfer exasperating slow cadence speaking style on book 2. Must be listened at 1.25 speed or 1.5..... or it's just not worth listening to. Just read the Kindle version.
Biggest complaint....Kydd's female voices are the most grading.

Outside of the horrible Kydd FMC voice....
Book 3 was wonderful!! I knew the twist from being a crime show junkie.... but the build-up was fantastic!!!

I will continue to read the series or listen in audible as they come available in my membership.

Good listen

Good story and narration. Parts were frustrating but overall I enjoyed it. The accents were well done.

Good story, but check out the preview first

I enjoyed the story. I really did. But the woman’s voice was too much. It was too high pitch, almost whining. It was distracting throughout the book. Other than that it’s a fun, romance read with some *spice* and a HEA.

Horrible Male Narrator

I absolutely love this book! The male narrator is terrible though. The Russian is bad, but the female voice he does is horrendous.

really good read

The story was super cute and easy to read/listen to. both male and female narrators really brought to life the story, which is sometimes hard to find in audiobooks. If looking for a light sports romance this is for you.

Amazing a Must Read. Best in the Series

This book is a amazing. I think that it is the best one of the series! They are all good but the twists in this one and the pace of the book it is all absolutely perfect. I just want to reread and listen to it over and over again!

Another 5 star hockey romance

I really enjoyed Mica and Charlie’s story! These two may have started with a fake marriage but they were meant to be!!
The narrator’s Russian accent got a little annoying at times but all in all it was an enjoyable read!!!

loved it

I love Odette Stone's books. She is a wonderful writer and tells great stories. I love Mica and Charlie.
