If You Love Me

The Toronto Terror Series

De: Helena Hunting, H Hunting

Narrado por: Stephen Dexter, Stella Bloom

Two nights with her ruined me for all other women, but I never got the chance to make her mine.

I’m the pinnacle of control. I protect the net, my team, and my daughter.
It’s my final season and I can’t afford any distractions.
Except our new assistant coach just walked in.
And I would know her face anywhere.
She’s the one I dream about.

That weekend, I was just a man—not the legend, the dad, the mentor.
I didn’t care that I was a decade older.
For the first time in my life, I was ready to risk everything if it meant having her.
Until I woke up to an empty bed and no note.
Three years of wishing I knew how to find her, now she’s my new boss.

I can be patient.
But for her—I want to break all the rules.

5 Stars! Emotional & swoon-worthy!

f You Love Me by Helena Hunting is an emotional, swoon-worthy hockey romance that stole my heart! This slow-burn, forbidden love story pairs Roman, the utterly charming and devoted single-father NHL goalie, with Lexi, the trailblazing first female assistant coach in the league. Their chemistry is electric, and the witty banter between makes their connection impossible to resist. Hunting masterfully builds the tension, blending steamy moments with deeply emotional layers as Roman and Lexi navigate the challenges of their forbidden relationship.

Roman’s dedication to his daughter and his vulnerability make him a hero to root for, while Lexi’s strength and determination as she breaks barriers in a male-dominated field are inspiring. The emotional depth of their journey—tackling themes of love, loss, and second chances—adds a richness to their story that will keep you hooked. Hunting’s storytelling is impeccable, weaving together passion, humor, and heart in a way that feels authentic and unforgettable. I listened to the audiobook and it was fantastic. Narrated in duet by Stephen Dexter and Stella Bloom, who both delivered exceptional performances. If You Love Me by Helena Hunting gets five smooches from me!

Swoony & Spicy

Stephen Dexter and Stella Bloom deliver a stellar narration that brings Roman and Lexi’s story to life. Roman the devoted single dad and goalie, is utterly swoony. Lexi’s strong, career-driven presence in the sports world is refreshing and inspiring. Their chemistry is off the charts, making this my favorite installment in the Toronto Terror series!

Favorite of the Series

I finished Roman and Lexi’s story in the wee early morning hours. I am in love with this couple and this friend group! It is my favorite of the series and one of my 2025 favorite books.

Roman is a swoon worthy hockey player and single Dad His love language is taking care of people he loves. He finally meets the woman of his dreams and she runs away. Years later they meet again and she is his new boss.

Lexi is the first female assistant coach in the professional hockey league. Outwardly she is confident and strong. Under the layers she is a busy single parent trying to keep her nose above water. It’s a sweet and spicy second chance love story with plenty of angst.

The supporting characters of the hockey teammates and the Bada$$ Babe Brigade are all a found family. Oh, my heart!!

You will love this story if you like sports romance, love sweet alphas and strong confident women, family connections, single parents, age gap and love in the workplace.

Second Chance Romance

This was the best yet in the Toronto Terrors universe. Roman is a dream and the strength of Lexi in pursuing her dream of coaching. Both narrators brought depth to the main characters and secondary ones as well. This is a very smexy read. Thank you Helena Hunting and can’t wait till the next book in the series.

Swoon worthy goalie goes after the coach

Hunting never disappoints, every book makes you want more. Character development pulls you in and gets you invested in the story. Her writing is awesome

Daddy Roman

Daddy Roman and Lexi's story might be my absolute favorite so far!! The narrators did such a fantastic job with these characters. The little nuances they brought to their characters really helped drive the emotion of the story and I found myself laughing and crying at every turn. The FMC's narrator also did such a great job with Callie's character; she quickly became one of my favorite characters. This was such a good story to add to the series!

Weird girls rule!

the female character not only confronts the mean girls about their lies, She documents with phone video.

Helena did it again

I am obsessed with this series! It’s got the steam and it’s well written, I can’t wait to see what comes next!!

ALL THE FEELS

I anticipated this book for so long and it did not disappoint! Roman and Lexi were everything and their love is so strong. It didn’t even feel like a slow burn because of how well it was written and executed.
I’m so ready for Flip and Tally as I think/hope they’ll be book 5

I love Roman

I think I was most excited about this book coming out because it was about Roman he is the single dad who's so responsible and we've seen him and all these other books being the level-headed guy and I just couldn't wait for him to get his Happy Ever After and it was exactly that it was perfect. This book had all kinds of things I love The woman that he fell for Roman surprise me he's a dirty talker That I wasn't ready for but loved all the same I love the woman like I said that he fell for because she's independent the first woman assistant coach in the league. it really didn't surprise me that he fell for somebody who is someone who would take so much responsibility this was a great story I loved it it flowed well and I would definitely recommend.
