Story
Nick Murphy. Hockey god. My best friend’s big brother. My friend with mind-blowing benefits. The best thing to happen to my nether regions since my subscription to the toy of the month club. The man I’ve been secretly in love with for years. And a total ass. I am so done with him. Except there’s one small problem. Now that I’ve cut him off, his hockey game is in the toilet. He’s convinced I’m his good luck charm, and he wants me back. But only for his game.

Large and in charge? Honey, I'm the biggest, baddest, mother pucking-est machine to ever own the ice. I shoot. I score. In and out of the rink. I don't come early, but I come often, if you know what I mean. And I always leave the ladies wanting more. Until that chick last night. I'm no one-thrust wonder, and you're damn right I'm going to prove to her I can do better. But every time I think I'm finally on my way back into her pants, she one-ups and out-balls me. I should cut my losses, lick my wounds, and walk away. But Zeus Berger doesn't walk away from anything.

Story
If I had to pick a bride of convenience, my first choice would not be Peach Maloney. My 50th choice would not be Peach. Top spot on my list of occupational hazards? Yes. Royal pain in the crumpets? Yes. A bride of convenience? No. But I've unexpectedly gone from royal bodyguard to monarch, having inherited a crown that was stolen from my family long before my birth. The kicker? In order to take the throne, I must find a wife. Have I mentioned Peach would not have been my 100th choice? But I've no other options, and she needs a favor that my new position can fulfill quite nicely.

Story
He has the muscles of Adonis, an ego bigger than the sun, and a very clear desire to get back in my pants. Which would be fantastic if he weren't a SEAL and I wasn't a criminal. Although, I prefer the term avenger. I'm a hacktivist, cleaning up the cesspool of cyberspace one scam artist and troll at a time, and I sometimes bend a few rules to get justice done. He's a military man with abs of glory, sworn to uphold the letter of the law no matter its shortcomings. And if he'd known who - or what - I was, I doubt he would've banged me at my best friend's wedding reception.

There are three things I hate: Bratwurst in any form, my neighbors boinking like farm animals at 3 AM, and Chase Jett. Mostly I hate Chase Jett. It's been 10 years since he took my virginity - I'd make a bratwurst joke, but the unfortunate truth is that it would have to be a brat-best joke, and yes, it kills me to admit that - and now he's not only a billionaire, he's also my new boss.

Never borrow pants from your brother. Especially if he’s a size smaller than you are, because all that pressure in the junk will short-circuit your brain. And you’ll lie to a woman in a club about your real name. Leave her unsatisfied after making out in a bathroom. Then find out that she’s the one thing standing in the way of your dreams. And she very much doesn’t like being lied to. Now I have to convince Lila Valentine - the woman I can’t stop thinking about, my biggest regret, and my new boss - that I’m what’s best for the baseball team she’s inherited.

Call it superstition, but when a guy bats as hot as Brooks Elliott, you don’t mess with what’s working. And what’s working is him keeping his pants zipped and doing all of his scoring on the field. So when I hear he’s planning to ditch his V-card now that he’s been traded to baseball’s lovable losers - a.k.a. my home team and my reason for living every March through October - I do what any rational, dedicated, obsessed fan would do. I make a plan to stop him. But the thing about stopping him is that it requires spending time with him. Lots. And lots. And lots of time.

If people have polar opposites, Luca Rossi is mine. His butt is in the baseball hall of fame. Mine's comfortably seated in the hall of lame. When he's not snagging fly balls out in center field, he's modeling in shampoo commercials. I once jammed my own finger while stirring cookie dough, and sometimes I forget shampoo is a thing. He's a total cynic when it comes to love. I make a living writing love stories. But after my latest broken engagement (no, I don't want to talk about how many times that's happened), it's clear he's exactly the man I need.

The world’s sexiest firefighter is about to get a second chance with the virgin next door.... He’s bossy, arrogant, and so ridiculously hot that he should come with a warning label and a pair of flame-retardant coveralls. He’s also the boy who broke my heart when we were in high school. I want to move in next door to Ryan O’Dell the way I want to be the virgin gamer geek suddenly in charge of running my sister’s sex-toy factory. Too bad both are written in my stars.

But I'm still knocked off my stilettos when an insane chain of events leads to me inheriting a baby. The craziest part?

I didn’t mean to kidnap the groom. It was an accident. Mostly.... At least I didn't take much time to plan it. It was more of a spur of the moment kidnapping. Does that count? One minute, the town’s bad boy is standing at the altar about to marry the world’s most evil kindergarten teacher. The next, he’s passed out in my Vespa sidecar with his bride hot on our tail. But I couldn't stand by and watch Jace O’Dell be blackmailed into a loveless marriage. And besides, what’s a little kidnapping between friends? Okay, so maybe we’re not just friends....

Otter & Sparrow
- By Laura - Not Now I'm Reading on 04-17-21
By: Claire Kingsley
Publisher's Summary
There are two kinds of women in the world - those I can bang, and those I can’t.
My teammate’s sister?
She’s a can’t.
I moved in with her to protect her from a nasty ex, not to be the next guy in line.
She’s the brains.
I’m the brawn.
She’s the fruit.
I’m the sausage.
She talks too much.
I don’t talk at all, if I don’t have to.
Should be easy to resist her.
But every minute I spend with Felicity is another minute she gets under my skin. She makes me feel like something more than a dumb puckhead with a big Zamboni pony. And it’s getting harder to remember why I need to keep my hands to myself.
Beauty and the Beefcake is a vegan-friendly standalone romantic comedy featuring a hockey player whose vocabulary is the only thing smaller than a hockey puck, a book smart but aimless ventriloquist with too many voices in her head, a dilapidated old house that may or may not be haunted, and no cheating or cliffhangers.

Love me a good Hockey romance
I enjoy a good hockey romance, and this one did not disappoint. It was Hysterical... Pissed off Granny ghost? check. Phallic cookies? check. Ventriloquist? check. Misunderstood Hockey player? Check.
If you aren't laughing out loud during the first 90 seconds of this book, you need to sit down and relax... it was such a good listen.

LITE, LAUGHS & LOVE.. WITH AN UNDERCURRENT OF DEEP
Pippa Grant has written a hilarious yet moving Rom Com with heart about Felicity, a talented quirky genius ventriloquist whose multiple mental puppet personalities (and inanimate objects) are always ready and eager to chirp in with their own particular views on things.. which is unique, refreshing and riotously fun. Felicity has made bad choices in men and she’s all over the place when it comes to her career which she often derails and starts again. But Felicity loves loves loves all things related to Thrusters Hockey and, with a brother already on the team, she hopes to someday work there too. So, this mild mannered tale is centered around Thrusters.. and especially, as it turns out, the budding romance between Felicity and the withdrawn, misunderstood beefcake giant of a skater called Ares Berger who grunts, mumbles and awkwardly stumbles his way through conversations. Because Felicity sees beyond his damaged cold facade.. and he sees and accepts her quirks and vocal personalities too.. so it should’ve been plain sailing for this match made in Heaven right?.. but, in the talented hands of Ms Grant, this well-written well-paced dual POV romance didn’t quite play out that way.
Wen Ross is always good.. but Virginia Rose’s well-timed multiple personality narration of Felicity and her ‘on board’ characters was pure Audible gold and I’m sure there aren’t many actors out there who could constantly and creatively perform such an intense wide variety of characters.. make the interactions seamless.. make them loveable.. and make them so much fun too.
Worth a credit? Well, if you’re looking for something different, something that has humor, heart and heat, something that has a wide variety of living and fictional secondary characters and something that’s touching, sweet and unique.. then yes I’m sure you too will find this Rom Com a compelling creditworthy listen.

Weird but brilliant ...
This really was masterfully crazy. Felicity is unique and beautiful and vibrant and a mess. I went through all the feels; I laughed, I cried, i rolled my eyes, I got mad, I got confused, I got irritated and in the end I was in love! Aries and Felicity are the heart gushiest couple I’ve fell for in a while. This is the second book I’ve read by Pippa Grant and I am obsessed with her humor and they way she can pull at my emotions. Brilliant stuff !!!
Let’s not forget the audio talent. Ross and Rose were amazing. There were a lot of different voices required for Felicity alone, big pat on back for Rose for a job well done. Ross represented well for Felicity’s characters when he was at the mike. Their collaboration really brought Grant’s story to life.

A monkey + multiple personalities
A sweet story with lots and lots of personality, like lots of them! Oh and a monkey.
My only criticism was the way the male lead was read. He came across as “Neanderthal-ish” yet didn’t really seem to have been written that way.
Lots of laughs and tender moments. Very cute story.

Laugh out loud funny!
I can't get enough of Pippa Grant! Each book I listen to makes me laugh, and fall in love with the characters! This one is especially fun, as it has a variety of personalities in our heroine, Felicity. She is an amazing ventriloquist, who has been trying to find herself. Now with a crazy ex stalking her, she needs some protection. Ares is an injured hockey player, a man of few words, who needs to rest and heal. Who better to be put together? This set up is so good, with the talkative Felicity, misunderstood, and underappreciated she is a woman we can all find something in common with. Ares, with his one word grunts, his persistence to be on the ice, and just his feeling of the underdog makes it impossible not to love him. And the fun, the laughter, the insecurity, the protectiveness, the monkey and the puppets made for an amazing listen!
With this incredible cast of characters, an amazing team needed to be cast. And a better one could not have been found. Virginia Rose was so good, I could not stop laughing. Her many voices for the many personalities that Felicity transmitted through her puppets were so good! I was in awe and kept laughing out loud! Ares needed a deep growlie man, and Wen Ross is the perfect pick. He can portray that alpha male with a grunted one word answer, and we know exactly what he wants! Together, this dual narration came through with such humor, steam and love, it is one you have to one click!

Loved this book
I read this book a while ago and loved it. It was hilariously odd, with Felicity and her hand puppets, the non-speaking Ares, Felicity's trouble seeking brother, Loki the monkey, and then a fabulously fun but wacky supporting cast (many of which now have their own books). I laughed so much. But also, I teared up a lot because underlying all these laughs were two people who were a bit misunderstood and I adored how they were opposites but yet, each other's biggest champions.
I was so happy to revisit this book via the audiobook. And my goodness, Wen Ross with his low but smooth voice was perfect for Ares. He really bought the character to life. But then, on a dime, he switched to a feminine voice and it was believable and smooth. And Virginia Rose was amazing!! She seamlessly navigated multiple roles and I especially loved (and snort-laughed) through her interpretation of the different puppets. Really, this was the kind of book that I would think would be especially difficult for the narrators but they did a beautiful job bringing this fantastic, funny book to life.

What a rollercoaster read ~ weird and wonderful ❤❤
Absolutely loved this story with its hilarious characters especially Felicity and her multiple personality voices!
The growing relationship between Aries and Felicity was so sweet as they were totally different personalities.
An excellent storyline made even better thanks to the narrators (that beautiful deep voice of Aries sent shivers down my spine 💕💕)
I would have loved to rate this 10 stars because I really needed all the good laughs this story provided.

Adore this pair!!!
Having read the books in this series I thought it was time to listen to the audio books.
Wen Ross & Virginia Rose are great as Ares & Felicity. Strong performance from both, loved their voices and the whole audio was easy to listen
From a fab series which I would most definitely recommend, Beauty and the Beefcake gets 5 great big stars from me!

Hooked, brilliant hockey romance
Words cannot describe how much I love Ares and Felicity. Ares is everything you could want in a hero and more. Felicity would be so cool to know. Pippa's writing has classic comedic timing. And both the narrators are perfect for the parts. I loved this story when I first read it. Love it more being my first Audio book.

excellent narrations
I usually stick to paranormal romance novels but all my current are emotionally heavily and I just needed something light and easy and this was this first I saw and honestly, I was not let down it was sooo funny and love the big gentle giant who doesn't talk. Only reason it's not 5 stars is I didn't quite get the whole hockey obsession or constant ventriloquism but still a great book.

FANTASTIC
I loved listening to this audiobook. The romance in this book is such a feel good one that leaves you feeling amazing. This story is about two abnormal people finding each other and showing that you don't have to be normal to be happy. This has two awesome narrators who fit the characters perfectly and in a way I definitely wouldn't have been able to. Listening to this was definitely amazing and was just another of those books from Pippa Grant that was amazing. Pippa Grant is definitely one of my favorite authors and this book is definitely a great example why. If you loved the blurb or the sample and think you will like it, I would definitely recommend this book to you. Enjoy!

Great story
I really liked the story, it was sweet and funny, Narrators were great, especially Wen Ross as Aries, although duet narration would have made it better. I only gave it 2 stars because of the ventriloquism. I get that it was an important part of the story however when the character constantly changes voices it got annoying and was no longer funny. I think if I read the story instead it wouldn’t have been an issue, but grated as an audio version.
