Holdout

De: Jaqueline Snowe, Heart Eyes Press

Narrado por: Jason Clarke, Savannah Peachwood

Jonah Daniels has enough to do during hockey season without spending time interviewing a roommate to help share expenses. So when some dude answers J.D.’s ad and agrees to his terms, he puts a key under the mat and leaves for practice.

What he doesn’t expect is that his new roommate is not a dude at all but an overtalkative, energetic hottie. What’s worse? She’s the younger sister of his friend on the team, and she’s sworn him to secrecy.

Ryann Reiner needs a place to live, stat. After an incident at the dorms that almost tanked her scholarship, Ryann wants a boring roommate who’ll leave her alone. J.D. almost fits the bill. He lives and breathes hockey, just like her brother, and he wouldn’t know a joke unless it checked him against the boards.

He’s also gorgeous. And broody. And he looks fine on laundry day, in too little clothing. Soon, late night study sessions turn into dangerous flirting. And then a kiss turns into more. But they’re determined to keep things in the feelings-free zone.

Until lines blur and tensions rise when Ryann’s brother learns the truth. And both their hearts are skating on thin ice....

Cute

What a sweet and cute roommate to lovers / teammates little sister romance story!

Jonah is looking for a new roommate, and is more than perplexed when its a girl in his appartment and not a dude he was looking for. He's super focussed on hockey and does not need nor want any distraction!
Ryann is looking for a new place because she needs to focus on study to not loose her scholarship. Which is not easy to focus on, because her roommate is hot as hell.
But, and here comes a big BUT, Ryann is JD's teammates little sister. And off limits.

This is an emotional and funny story as well. Both characters have their own baggage they need to handle. But they also handle it together.

This audio is well narrated. I enjoyed listening to it!

Steamy sexy Broody Hockey Player

Chemistry between JD and Ryann is off the charts, it wasn’t too far into the book that they give into their temptation. JD is such a straightforward almost awkward character, but Ryann’s out going spunk beings him out of his shell. The added drama between JD and his mother was emotional, I’m not sure I would have been quite as forgiving. Plenty of hockey scenes in this book.

This pair stole my heart!

Oh, I just loved this book! I jumped at the chance to listen to this audiobook because I just cannot seem to resist a good hockey romance. Set it in the World of True North and it is even more appealing. I had a fantastic time escaping life for a while with this book and found myself looking forward to listening to it during every free moment I could find. I fell hard for Jonah and Ryann and am so glad that I decided to give this book a try.

Jonah and Ryann both need a roommate. A bit of confusion over names leads to the pair sharing an apartment. Jonah has a list of rules to go with their new living arrangement and is determined to make sure that they both follow those rules. To complicate matters more, Ryann happens to be the little sister of a member of Jonah's hockey team. They have both been through quite a bit in life and have a lot in common and they both have a lot at stake. Jonah is very focused on hockey while Ryann is determined to do well in school and keep her scholarship.

I loved Jonah and Ryann as a couple. These two had fantastic chemistry together and they seemed to really understand each other. It felt like they were just meant to be together. I enjoyed every moment of watching them fall for each other and they stole my heart in the process. It was evident how much they cared for each other and I loved the way that they sometimes pushed each other just a bit.

Jason Clarke and Savannah Peachwood did a fantastic job with the narration of this book. I think that they both were able to bring their characters to life and I loved how much emotion they were able to add to the story. I thought that their voices complimented each other very well in this romance. I believe that their narration added to my overall enjoyment of this book.

I would highly recommend this book to fans of hockey romances. I had a fantastic time with this book and cannot wait to read more of Jaqueline Snowe's work and future installments in the Moo U Hockey series.

I received a digital review copy of this audiobook from the author/publicist.

Another Moo U hit!

With each Moo U book I read I fall more and more in love with this world.
I want to live there, go to school there, work there, date the strapping hockey players there....

You get the idea.

Jonah and Ryann need to solve their living situations.
One little name mix-up and a set of rules later, they think they've found the answers to their problems.

Sparks fly almost immediately, AND I AM HERE FOR IT.

I love these two.
Seriously.

This is another case of 'why haven't I read this author before' and I am so mad at myself for it.
At the same time, these Moo U authors are about to find themselves lots of new readers--especially if their earlier work is comparable to this.

Holdout is exactly what I needed today. And it's what you need too.

Just what I was looking for!

Disclaimer: I won a free code for this from Savannah Peachwood's instagram. That being said, if I hadn't, I absolutely WOULD have spent a credit on it, (and it would have been 100% worth it!) and I fully intend to do so for the other Moo U books. I absolutely loved the story!! The hockey world could use some more guys like Jonah!
