Devon Chambers: The Vermont Vipers Star who became my surprising inspiration—and my fake boyfriend

I'm a romance writer in a slump.

All I did was tag along to a hockey game with my brother.

The star player slams a guy into a wall and turns to give the crowd a thumbs-up. Just like that… a spark ignited in me. I went home and scribbled down a story idea, posting it to Instagram.

The next morning, thousands of new followers and an avalanche of comments. People loved my idea.

So, I followed the inspiration, bought season tickets to the Vipers games, and kept my new project a secret.

But when fans get a little too involved in the story and catch me chatting with Devon in a bar, they think the story is about me, and the PR teams love it.

The rules were simple.

Two public dates a week, no physical intimacy, and lots of positive press for both of us.

The fans are hooked, and so am I.

I'm writing our story before it's even begun.

We struggle to stick to the rules. No intimacy clause? Oops. His kisses are electric, his touch irresistible, and my heart is no longer just in the story—it's in his hands.

When the press finds out I'm pregnant, our PR teams are furious.

But when the truth hits social media, fans fall even more in love.

And as the real story begins, I realize that what started as fiction has become the most beautiful reality I could ever write.

My Pucking Little Secret is book two in the Vermont Vipers series: a series of interconnected standalones following a team of professional hockey players and the women who make them swoon. They do not need to be listened to in order, but you will gain glimpses of previous and future characters/couples in each book.

I've Been Bitten By the Vipers and Want More!

Having immediately pre-ordered the audiobook for book 2 in the Vermont Vipers series, I devoured this story when it went live on Audible. Leighton Grace brings us the story of struggling romance author Lola, who meets her muse on the ice of a hockey game her brother and his date brought her to. Devon is everything she needed to get her writing mojo back as he lights the fires of her inspiration to write and other fires within too. I found myself laughing so much throughout the story as Leighton Grace knows how to deliver humor in the best of ways. Devon is enraptured by his mystery woman, who loves to wear any and all hockey apparel BESIDES the Vermont Vipers, and his competitive streak is cranked up, allowing his inner hockey star to come barreling through. After a very compelling offer presented to the both of them to "fake date" for the press, they challenge each other to many different dating scenarios where the other must go through with the date, or surrender their pride to the other. Through these "fake" dates, you can feel the sexual tension mixed with a growing sense of attraction that is rooted deeply within them both. Leighton Grace continues to bring us on this journey with Lola and Devon, sprinkling in our favorites from book 1 (give me some more Grey and Ellie!) as she gives us some twists and turns that have our characters searching deep within themselves. Between the laughter, the drama, the emotions, this 2nd book slams it straight into the net.

Now let's talk about the audio. Logan Anare puts the heart in heart throb with his performance. The banter, the comedic timing, the smoldering moments that you swear will make your earbuds melt right off your head, is masterfully narrated by him. Savannah Thomas partners up with her iconic sweetheart voice and expertly delivering the sass, and emotion as needed for the scenes with pure perfection. These two are the voices of the Vermont Vipers, and have bitten this listener where I can't get enough and happily fall under their spell.

And yes, I've already pre-ordered book 3. ;)
