Filthy Boy

The Puck Boys of Brooks University, Book 3

De: Hannah Gray

Narrado por: Heather Firth, Thomas Oakley

Angry. Wild. Loose cannon.

As one of college hockey's most feared defensemen, I've been told I'm all those things and more. The ice is the only place where I can take my anger out on other people and get applauded for it. The rougher I play, the dirtier I am, the more praise I get.

I suppose the same could be said about me in the bedroom. I'm not the dude you want your daughter bringing home to meet you. Because your angel? Well, I'll make sure her halo is crooked by the time I'm done with her.

I've met my match. The one who won't be so easy to leave behind. And the thing with Bria Collins? She's nobody's angel. But just because she doesn't wear a halo doesn't mean she can handle my darkness.

Bria & Brody

Hannah Gray knows how to write a story with ALL the feels!! I absolutely adored Bria and Brody. He’s the boy who’s made something of himself in spite of his childhood. Bria is the sweet girl who makes him believe in love.
The amount of swoon moments in this story was killing me.
As is usual, I did in fact cry while reading. But honestly, it’s not a Hannah Gray book unless I’m teary eyed at one point.

The narration was fantastic, Heather Firth and Thomas Oakley. This was my first time listening to either narrator and I thought they both brought the characters to life perfectly!!

Brody & Bria’s story, a friends to lovers angsty romance

The narrators are so great at bringing Brody and Bria to life. They connect as friends and share the pain they both have around their fathers. And in Brody’s case his mother. Brody tries to always look like a happy-go-lucky guy but it’s hiding the darkness of his upbringing. They start out as friends but then they start to creep over the lined they made to keep the relationship as a friends-only pact.

It’s full of both angst and beauty. Some moments in the audiobook had me crying my eyes out and this is not the first time I’ve done that when listening to this series! The talent of voice artists Heather Firth and Thomas Oakley is A+!

Perfection

Loved Brody & Bria’s story. The we’re perfect for each other. Hannah Gray knows how to write hockey stories.

Great voice and an amazing story!

This book broke my heart and oddly made me feel so much love for Brody. Everything he's been through in life. I wanted to scoop that little boy up and take him home and love him like he deserved to be loved.

Tropes:
🏒 Hockey Romance
📷 College Students
🏒 Tattooed Bad Boy
📷 Photographer Heroine
🏒 Found Family
📷 Surprise Pregnancy
🏒 Shared Trauma

This book showed so much personal growth between both these characters, but mainly Brody. I have fallen in love with all these books, but saved this one for last because I knew it was going to be a touchy one. I started reading this author last year when I started reading the ARC of Hunter's book. Then the ARC of the Watson's as well. I had to go back and read them all, but had to save Brody & Bria's book for last. I'm glad I did because even though it was heartbreaking for Brody and Bria's past, even trying times through their own journey. It ended up being a beautiful story that I will enjoy reading again and again.

The narration of this book was done so well. Especially Heather who read as Bria in this book. She yelled when needed, and even showed trembling and quivering in her voice when the story said to. She did brilliant at her part. And Thomas Oakley who did the part as Brody was done well, also. His voice sounded just as charming and sexy as I pictured Brody to have.

This is a must read book and listen. No matter how you read this book through pages or on Audible, it is a beautiful story. One that I will recommend to anyone. What a beautiful story in general, but definitely well done by these two on Audible. Hannah Gray is an anachronism author!
