Goal Lines & First Times

CU Hockey Series, Book 3

De: Eden Finley, Saxon James

Narrado por: Alexander Cendese, Iggy Toma

Cohen: It turns out making out with my best friend in high school could be considered gay. Who knew? Apparently, everyone but me.

Now that it's been pointed out, I can't help reliving it in my head. Repeatedly. Good-bye Denial Town, hello Confusionville.

When my path leads me down the gay dating app route, I don't expect to meet anyone I like, but then I meet him. He can't be more opposite than me. He's smart, he hates hockey, and he identifies as demi - something I've never heard of. Yet I can't deny something's there.

Seth: All my life, I've felt broken. Sick of being asked if I could be gay by ex-girlfriends, friends, and even my parents, I join a gay dating app to prove a point.

I don't expect to find what's always been missing. A real connection. The problem is, I'm too scared to meet him in person. He's a hockey player, and I fear when he finds out my twin plays for the NHL, I'll be overshadowed by my overachieving brother. Again. Worse yet, what happens if we meet and that connection isn't the same?

When I tell him I'm not ready, he's disappointed but supportive. Fate, on the other hand, isn't as accepting.

Contains mature themes.

The buildup was intense

I almost couldn’t take it when they didn’t know who the other person was. I think that part took too long so it was a relief when it happened so we could get to the in person romance and interactions and sweet gestures.

Really good!!

This was funny,cute and enlightening!! I love a good heartfelt romance and this was a good one!! Also the voice actors were amazing!! 💗✨🫶🏼

Cohen and Seth

My favorite of the series so far! This was a great connection and I loved following Seth on his demi journey. It was so refreshing seeing their relationship develop online before figuring out who the other is. The MMCs were both finally ones I connected with. Cohen was just such a lovable idiot. Like, he's so clueless it's adorable. And sweet bb Seth. I just loved him and his journey. Another Iggy/Alexander installment and pretty consistent performance as with the prior two books.

Love this series

I love the CU Hockey series! I’ll definitely be getting more from these authors and love the narrators too

Loved this one! Great read!

I really enjoyed this one! It pulled me in from beginning to end and I loved getting Cohen, aka Richie, and Seth's book this time. We met both in the first book and got to know Cohen better in the 2nd. This time we get to see what some of the realizations from book two have brought up for him. This book can be read as a standalone though definitely extra enjoyment having read the previous books. I loved getting to see the deeper side to Cohen and that side to Seth as well. He was struggling with where to identify and why things didn't quite add up and work out for him. He didn't understand the appeal to everything and the "loved up" side of things because he hadn't really felt it to that point. He is on the asexuality spectrum and needs to have a emotional connection before all the physical attraction and sparks really come about. I loved how Cohen and Seth got to know each other online and built that relationship and friendship first. For Seth to see if that gave him what he needed to make that connection without the pressure of physical side of things and for Cohen to see if he was into guys or not. They keep their identities unknown and build that connection without it. I loved how Richie was with Seth and didn't push and went at Seth's speed and made that known once they started getting deeper. I loved how Richie was upfront about asking the questions and communicating. He didn't want to try and read between the lines, he needed Seth to tell him where they stood and what things meant and would ask when that was needed and in a way without putting the pressure on. I loved once they finally figured things out and who they were and started the in person part of everything. This story was sweet and adorable and I was truly engaged with both Richie and Seth and loved them together! This story was really easy to read and once started I didn't want to put it down and am very excited for Asher's story next!

Worth every second

Just when I thought the series couldn't get any better,then boom this again🤩 I loved the book,very educational for some of us.

Awesome slow-burn romance

This book did a great job of slowly building up the couples relationship and showing strong examples of a demi relationship.

I love cohen and Seth.

This book is even better than the last. I love watching Seth and Cohen figure out their relationship. I also loved how they started off as friends and it ended up leading to some more. I so can’t wait for book four.

Love the represention

I love the representation. This was very enlightening and the struggles the MLs went through was eye opening.

Amazing!

Freaking loved this one! The narration was spot on and brought the story to life! Absolutely a must listen to!
