Stand and Defend

Lakes Hockey, Book 4

By: Sloane St. James

Narrated by: J.F. Harding, Chloe Ryan

Jordana

I live my life head over heart and never rock the boat, which is how I wound up engaged to Bryan Davenport—the biggest mistake I ever made. We were a power couple, but no one knew how cruel he could be behind closed doors. When I decide to leave, my fiancé shows just how ruthless he can be and sends me running to the last person I expect: his best man.

Camden Teller is a cocky, selfish, womanizing daredevil—and my new favorite person. Who knew a bad boy would be such a good influence? For the first time, I'm breaking the rules and living unapologetically. Our unexpected camaraderie quickly morphs into a no-strings arrangement. I don't mind because, even though he's become my closest friend, he'll never be my type.

Camden

I may be the new Minnesota Lakes hockey captain but I'll always be Banksy on the ice. Over my career, I've been in countless fights. Being protective is part of my nature, so when the beautiful Jordana Landry shows up with nowhere to go, I don't hesitate. Unfortunately, she's also sophisticated, polite, and educated, which would be fine except I've got a corruption kink.

The more we hang out, the closer we get and the harder it is to resist each other—until we stop resisting. I never sleep with the same woman twice, but once with her will never be enough. However, it's not long before I realize she's not as innocent as she lets on. Jordan says I'm not her type… but she's exactly mine.

Great book

I love this book. My only reason for the 4 stars for performance is the female narrator sounds a bit older than I pictured the FMC in this book.

Love the story line

I loved this book so much. The story line was the best in the series. Definitely top 5 book of the year!

lo amee!!

Este libro e In the game son mis favoritos de la serie, pero debo decir que este audiolibro me gusto 1000 veces más que el de In the game. Los actores que escogieron para interpretar a Camden y a Jordan estuvieron espectaculares, de verdad, hicieron un trabajo increíble, valió la pena tanto tiempo de espera para por fin poder escuchar la historia cobrar vida. chef kiss!!!

Wow wow wow

This was my most anticipated read of 2024 , I finally got a chance to read it and it was definitely worth the wait and all the hype! Loved every second of it and to be honest I thought it was gonna be darker, but I was satisfied regardless. 20/20!!!

Spice for DAYS!!!!!! Ex Fiancés best friend to lovers.

I had been WAITING for Banksies story!!! Cam has two sides , the one everyone sees on the ice, and the one he lets Jordan see. I loved the dichotomy of it all. Harsh and soft, in many ways. The narrator choices were perfect, the voices matching well with the characters personas. They kept the tenor and pace solid throughout. This story was SPIIICY!!! Lots of spice. Spice for days! I just saw that there is a story for Sullivan, so I’m glad the story line isn’t over! I also can’t wait to read Cam’s brothers story in Of Ink and Alchemy!
