Guarding the Crease

An Opposites Attract Hockey Romance (The Playmakers Series®, Book 9)

De: G.K. Brady

Narrado por: Gideon Frost, Addison Barnes, Zachary Johnson

The knight charging to her rescue is the last person in the world she wants to see. Now she owes him, and he’s ready to collect.

When I spot Serena Lambert in danger, I don’t think twice—I jump in to help. It’s only after that I realize what I’ve done: I’ve played the knight in shining armor for the woman who probably hates my guts more than anyone else on the planet. Serena, the Blizzard’s PR director and the bane of my existence, looks just as shocked as I feel. Guess she thought she was finally rid of me. But bad pennies? We always turn up.

Being an NHL goalie has its perks, and trust me, I’ve taken full advantage of every single one. But when I end up becoming the league’s most infamous netminder, all those perks disappear, along with my spot on the roster. I want back in, and for that, I need Serena’s PR magic. Sure, she’s prickly as hell, but I can deal with that. She’s already had to clean up my tabloid messes before. Plus, let’s be honest, she’s not exactly hard on the eyes.

Serena’s laser-focused on her career, trying to cement her place on the team while dealing with a backstabbing coworker. Helping me is the last thing she needs, but there’s something undeniable between us, something that goes beyond my usual charm. The more time I spend with her, the more I find myself wanting to dig deeper, to figure out what makes her tick.Yeah, we’re like oil and water. We might not mix, but maybe, just maybe, we can find a way to blend. And if we do, who knows? We might just score our happily-ever-after.

Everything I want in a great listen

This is the first book I have read or listened to by G.K. Brady but it won’t be the last. If you love hockey romances you need to check out Wyatt Tompkins and Serena Lambert’s entertaining journey in Guarding the Crease.
Ellie Gossage and Ash Beverly are also new narrators to me but they did a great hon bringing the characters and their story to life. They were very easy to listen to and they were spot on with the emotion and the banter.
Wyatt is a PR nightmare before he was let go by his Colorado NHL team and now he is back wanting his goalie position back.
Serena has been working in the PR dept for years and she is good at what she does but how will she handle the man who in the past caused so many problems and can he prove to her that he is a changed man.
More importantly will they be prepared to cross the line and risk their careers.
This is book 9 in The Playmakers Series and I will certainly be checking out the previous books as soon as time permits. A sweet and entertaining story that will appeal to a wide range of audiences.

Love it

Oh Wyatt, always the playboy. He finds himself getting into trouble on and off the ice. His antics are making headlines that reflects on the team. His self centered cockiness caught up with him, as he was let go.
Now Serena is the PR person to put out those fires. She definitely is not a fan of him. Especially when he temporarily comes back on a trial basis.
I enjoyed this steamy, fun hockey romance. There is some workplace drama, sexy times.
Gideon Frost, Addison Barnes, Zachary Johnson are exceptional performers. Thank you for a wonderful listen.

Second Chances and Unexpected Connections

Guarding the Crease" by G.K. Brady is a heartwarming and engaging addition to the series. Wyatt, a character I initially found frustrating, gets his own story, and the unexpected depth of his character development is truly rewarding. His journey alongside Serena is filled with humor, heartwarming moments, and surprising introspection.

Seeing familiar faces from previous books adds a delightful layer of nostalgia and enriches the world-building. The duet narration by Gideon Frost, Addison Barnes, and Zachary Johnson is exceptional. Each voice actor brings the characters to life with incredible nuance and personality, elevating the listening experience.

"Guarding the Crease" is another fantastic entry in the series, expertly crafted and beautifully brought to life in audio. Highly recommended!

Good story and narration

G.K Brady is a new author to me, and I am shocked that I have not come across this talented author before. As soon as time permits, I will be looking at her other books., this may have been my first but it won’t be my last.

Can Wyatt convince Serena that he is worth taking a risk for? These two could not be more different and yet they work. As Serena gets to know the real man that Wyatt tries to hide, she is surprised that there is more to him than she initially thought.
The narration by Gideon Frost, Addison Barnes and Zachary Johnson who did a fabulous job bringing the characters and story to life. Their voices were easy to listen too and I found myself invested in their performance and the story.
I loved their journey; it was entertaining and heartwarming to watch the walls crumble between them. Guarding the Crease is a little gem that I loved.

New Book Bf

Guarding The Crease is a hockey romance. I immediately liked Wyatt but it took a minute to like Serena, Wyatt's the hockey player and Serena is the uptight co-worker. I was shocked to listen to Wyatt's past hijinks, he was wild too wild.

I like Wyatt's protectiveness of Serena, and the way they feel about each other. I really liked the wedding, he finally grew some balls.. I liked all the parts when they hung out together, they were sweet moments. I liked how Wyatt grew up from his hijinks days.

Gideon Frost, Addison Barnes & Zachary Johnson did a great job bringing this world and the characters to life I liked they're voices, they were soothing ... kinda.

This series is a great read/listen.. The series is long which I like and i also like that the characters all stay the same, meaning you can find out about past characters through out the whole series.
