Boarded Hearts

Seattle Scorpions Series, Book 1

De: Ruth Stilling

Narrado por: Sadie Lake, Jarman Day

My whole life, I've come out on top.

One of the finest players ever to grace the NHL? Check. Most prolific playboy with an enviable reputation between the sheets? Check. Award for the cockiest athlete in America? Also, check, and well deserved I'd say.

So why does my life feel anything but the perfect image I project? And why won't the one woman who came crashing into my life and knocked me on my six-foot-four ass take me seriously?

She doesn't even recognize me, let alone worship the ground I walk on. I'm in uncharted territory, tearing up my rule book and unearthing buried demons in my pursuit of her affection.

I always get what I want in life, but apparently, Felicity Thompson didn't get the memo. I want her in my bed, but all she offers me is her witty British tongue and no-nonsense attitude.

It isn't supposed to be this way. She's supposed to unravel for me. Yet the harder I pursue her, the more my own layers peel away.

Felicity Thompson is fast becoming not just what I want but the very woman I need in my life, and I'm terrified to admit that when it truly matters, I might not be coming out on top after all.

Great story

I like this book and the story was good. 4/5 🌶️. However, I do get annoyed when authors have 30+yo FC who was married that never got oral from her ex-husband. Really? Come on. At least say “he was bad at that”. To make them a “virgin” is tiresome.
The female narrator was SOOOO breathy. A lot of tiny inhales. I had to turn on transparency mode to block some of it out. I’m not sure I will read another book narrated by her unless I can hear her in a sample.

Love love loved this book

Highly recommend this book. It’s sooo good. Great story with some new ideas . I’ll definitely be following this author

Jon and Felicity

Jon and Felicity are everything. Felicity gets out of a loveless and bad marriage. Jon is a hockey player getting out of his playboy days and wants to settle down. He meets Felicity and HE FALLS HARD for her. I just can't get over them and their relationship. I want to tell you all about it but you really should read it yourself.

Jon is the ultimate book boyfriend. He is caring, protective and patient.

NARRATION:

Sadie Lake and Jarman Day were the perfect narrators for Jon and Felicity. They brought these characters to life and made an amazing book even better.

The female narrator is annoying.

The storyline is OK and the main male character is great. However, the female narrator absolutely made me insane. Her “purring “English accent with the constant downward dip, drove me to drink.

No third act breakup

I am really leaning more and more to books with no third act breakup especially for dumb reasons like uncertainty. Or fear of commitment. So glad this book didn’t have that trope.
