Behind the Net

A Grumpy Sunshine Hockey Romance

De: Stephanie Archer

Narrado por: Tim Paige, Savannah Peachwood

He's the hot, grumpy goalie I had a crush on in high school...and now I'm his live-in assistant.

After my ex crushed my dreams in the music industry, I’m done with getting my heart broken. Working as an assistant for an NHL player was supposed to be a breeze, but nothing about Jamie Streicher is easy. He’s an intimidatingly hot, grouchy jerk who can't stand me. The guy has a massive ego. Keeping things professional will be no problem, even when he demands I move in with him.

Beneath his surliness, though, Jamie’s surprisingly sweet and protective.

When Jamie learns how bad my ex was in bed, his competitive nature flares, and he encourages and spoils me in every way. The creative spark I used to feel about songwriting? It’s back, and I’m writing music again. Between wearing his jersey at games, rowdy parties with the team, and being brave on stage again, I’m falling for him.

He could break my heart, but it might be worth it.

Behind the Net is a grumpy-sunshine pro hockey romance with lots of spice and an HEA. It’s the first book in the Vancouver Storm series, and can be listened to as a stand-alone.

Tropes:

• grumpy sunshine
• slow burn
• boy obsessed
• pro hockey
• forced proximity (boss vs. assistant + roommates)
• spice coaching

Binge-Worthy

So many of these rom-com books are cringey to the point that they are hard to read. Not this one. This book goes down smooth! No unbelievable insta-love, or awkward exchanges that leave you skipping ahead, or rushed/forced sex scenes that leave you wanting more. I listened to it non-stop until it was over. Well written, bravo!

Jamie is the best book boyfriend

I absolutely love Stephanie Archer! This is my 5th book by her and god I just love her characters! Another phenomenal book!

Such a gem ❤️❤️

I love this book - and the audiobook only makes it better. The voice actors are SO good and bring this story to life so well !

Such a fun story!

I love this story! It was super entertaining and love the grumpy MMC at the beginning. I cannot wait for the next book.

Loved the narration and how wholesome it was!

I loved how Tim and Savannah portrayed each character’s emotions, and I loved that they each spoke Jaime and Pippa’s lines, rather than just reading the whole chapter.
As someone who is just finishing my degree and not going to be a college student, it’s so nice to hear stories about adults that are in their mid twenties.
These two were just so cute, gotta love mutual pining.
