Resumen del Editor

Carter Beckett is the NHL’s resident bad boy, top player both on the ice and in the bedroom, and quite possibly the sexiest man to ever grace my field of vision. But worst of all? He knows it.

He’s arrogant, self-centered, and the man doesn’t seem to know what a filter is, let alone how to use one. He’s had everything served to him on a silver platter, including endless strings of women, and apparently, I’m up next.

His only problem? I have no intention of falling for his shi—um, charm.

I have the solution to all my sexual frustrations in a drawer at home, and it’s far less complicated than Carter Beckett. Sure, he may be pretty, but he’s also a walking, talking reminder for you to wrap it before you tap it.

But then I start letting my guard down, and he starts showing me pieces of himself I had no intention of seeing. The bricks surrounding me may be tumbling down one by one, but I’m not sold yet, which means for the first time in his life, Carter’s the one begging.

For my time, my trust, for a single chance. For me to just…consider him.

Consider Me is the first book in the Playing for Keeps series, but it can be listened to as a standalone. It is a mature hockey romance that contain lots of heat, swoon, laughs, and a ride on an emotional roller coaster!

World's Sexiest Man - Carter Beckett

Oh man, Carter Beckett is one hell of a book boyfriend.

This hockey romance was meaty. Our MMC is Carter Beckett, a hockey superstar team captain and known player. He is a total playboy who even has a separate condo where he brings his conquests. That is until one fateful night when he meets Olivia and his world gets flipped upside down. And she's totally off limits. But that's never stopped him before.

I loved so many moments in this book. Carter is a TOTAL golden retriever. He's loud and embarrassing and lives for the moments when he can get Liv's attention. I specifically loved when he spots her at his game and slams himself against the glass, scaring her and then calls her name repeatedly ( think seagulls from finding Nemo screaming 'mine! ') until she looks up at him. He does things like this throughout the book and it's honestly adorable and hilarious simultaneously.

I loved the added details that really showcase how perfect these two are together. Case in point, the Oreos thing. Also, I loved how they grew together and communicated. Choosing each other over and over again.

My only criticism was that the third act was a bit weak. Not only did the book drag a bit but the breakup was dumb and I think could've been resolved too easily to really make it high stakes. And I honestly think Liv was a bit of a jerk to Carter during it rather than feeling justified. But that's just me.

Sweet Funny Steamy Romance

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. After reading some dark and intense books this was the lighthearted story I needed. I loved the chemistry between the two main characters, the sassy, sarcastic humor through out and the HEA we knew was coming. Also everyone needs a bestie like Cara, someone over the top in the best of ways. Also I found two new narrators to look for! Alex Kydd's voice for Carter is swoon worthy.

Sweet story

The story was sweet. It wasn’t something that gripped you from the beginning and kept you going. But it was good. I enjoyed getting to see Carter grow and evolve with Olivia.

love!

I loved this book so much. felt like I was in the book! listened twice

Great!

This was a new author for me. So glad I found this series! I loved this first book and will be getting the next book immediately. The story is sweet and tender but believable at the same time. Carter and Olivia are so precious and grow so much as a couple and as individuals.

It’s everything you need

I started listening to this book and I instantly fell in love with the way the author writes. She doesn’t hold back on the spice and makes you fall in love with the character as each chapter goes on.

Perfect Story, Alex Kydd is perfect. I'm a straight man who loves romance and this hits all the right spots. MMC was actually likeable for a change.
