Resumen del Editor

Rule number one for becoming an NHL team’s social media manager: Don’t hook up with the star center in an elevator a week before starting your new job.

Uhh…oops.

Okay, so I already broke the first rule. But just because Noah Blake knows what my "O" face looks like doesn’t mean he’ll ever get to see it again.

This job means the world to me, and I won’t risk it for anything—not even for a hockey captain with a crooked smile, a dangerously talented tongue, and gorgeous blue eyes that make my heart race.

Not even when he shows up at my door to comfort me in the middle of a thunderstorm.

Not even if he’s determined to show me just how incredible we could be together.

Falling for a hockey player was never part of my plan. The only problem is, there’s a little voice in my head that keeps whispering…maybe he’s right.

Tropes in this book:

• Cinnamon roll hero.
• He falls first.
• Reformed player.
• Boy obsessed.
• Forbidden and secret romance.
• Praise and good girl.

Offside Hearts is a contemporary hockey romance loaded with banter, feels, and deliciously spicy steam. It is a complete standalone with a HEA!

I loved the story.

I loved the story. The narration was ehhhh. I had to slow her audio down and speed his up. 🤷‍♀️

Torn

So I’m 50/50 on this book. Half of me really liked it. What did I like? The characters are easy to love. It’s a he fell first trope and I really liked Noah’s personality (until later). What did I not love? Margo is one of those characters who would have no luck if they didn’t have bad luck. Lots of lifelong major, traumatizing events and experiences. We learn about these throughout the development of the relationship, so I feel like Noah is continuously in the role of comforting Margo. Anything particularly wrong with that? Well no, but I just wanted to see more of her own strength. And then when the final major conflict arose, I feel like Noah’s response and behavior during that was opposite of the way he behaved the entire book. It is overall enjoyable, just not my personal fave.

Liked and will read more by author

There is some major technical issue at the end of eoilogue 1 where it repeats the first 2 minutes of the epilogue and epilogue 2 isnt even a part of this book at all.

Loved it!

First book I've read from this author and I loved it! The story was well written and kept my attention. The characters were very likeable and easy to root for. There was just the right amount of drama but not too much to where I'm sick for most the book. The narrator's did an excellent job. I'd recommend to friends and look forward to the next book by this author because I'm dying to read some of the supporting characters stories.

Good start

I accidentally read the second one first and that story was a lot better. This one was good too just not as gripping. I am definitely a Nikki Lawson fan now though!

I can't wait for more!

My only issue with this listen was with the narration. I thought that the book itself was great. The male narrator was the worst.

Super cute read

I loved this book, it was super fluffy and I loved the characters and the story was super entertaining.

I want more!

This was all around amazing! The characters were so real and personable and I could listen to their stories forever! The spicy scenes make you need to fan yourself and the overall story was really good and draws you in! I wish it went on for forever!

Great read- not my favorite recording

Love the book! Just not my favorite recording. The story is good and you get to know the characters well enough though so it’s still worth the listen.

loved it

The book was short but great. love both the characters really sweet not to much drama.
