Emerson Carter

Guys claim three minutes is a long time, so imagine what it means to be seven minutes older than your identical twin. We may look exactly the same—even down to our cupid’s bow lips—but our personalities couldn’t be more different. She’s foot loose and fancy free while I’m the responsible one. I’ve always been okay with that, too, but recently I’m feeling stifled by the constant pressure to be perfect. Date the perfect guy. Have the perfect job. Live in the perfect apartment. Perfection has a heavy cost. Am I willing to keep paying it?

Darren “D-Man” James

I met my soulmate when I was six years old and she was four. Emerson Carter had the cutest red hair in those Pippi Longstocking braids and always wore matching outfits with her twin sister, Evelyn. We grew up together, the three amigos. I sat in the friendzone and watched and waited. I sidelined myself as she dated my billet-brother Nick Atterton. I even lived with the couple for a few years until Nick was traded to Miami.

Witnessing the unimaginable strike our close friend brings us closer together. But will we be able to overcome that little bit of history… the one that had everyone thinking Emerson is simply biding her time, waiting for Nick to settle in down south? Will I have to watch her walk away again?

Will I be able to let her?

Dropped Puck Series is a 6 book hockey romance series following the Chicago Sharks as they fight through a season of ups and downs. A collection of interconnected stand-alones, each book can be listened to on their own, but I do recommend following the order in which the books are published as the characters do make follow up appearances in the subsequent stories.

Emotional, Captivating

This book was an emotional rollercoaster in the best way possible! I loved how Emerson’s story intertwined with Bitsy’s, giving a deeper look into her experience during the second incident with Pearce. Seeing everything unfold from Em’s perspective added so much depth and emotion to the story.

Emerson is such a relatable character—torn between the pressures of perfection and her own desires. Her journey of self-discovery and breaking free from expectations was powerful and heartfelt. And then there’s Darren—loyal, patient, and completely in love with Em since childhood. His unwavering devotion made my heart ache in the best way. The tension between them, the history, and the emotional connection had me hooked from the start.

The romance was slow-burning, angsty, and incredibly satisfying. The way these two navigated their feelings, past heartbreak, and lingering doubts felt so real. Their chemistry was undeniable, and the moments of vulnerability between them made their love story even more compelling.

Overall, this book had the perfect balance of drama, emotion, and romance. If you love second-chance love stories with deep emotional stakes and unforgettable characters, this is a must-read! I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator did a fantastic job bringing the story to life. Their expressive delivery and distinct character voices made the listening experience even more enjoyable, drawing me deeper into the story. It was a pleasure to listen to, and I highly recommend the audio version!

loved it!!

I've read the book before, so I knew the story was awesome. I've just been waiting to get my ears on the audio version. This was very well done.

Emy and Nick have a history, but not as much as Emy and D. I'm happy they get the HEA.
