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

Awesome story

I just love grumpy goalies. They story was great, the dog was cute, and the heroine was feisty.

Everything you want & more!!

This book was the perfect combo of everything you want from a romance book! The content and build up was great and felt genuine- loved it! Can’t wait for the next book in the series!!

Rich Character Development

Grumpy sunshine MMC, but incredibly supportive to FMC. Love the plot development and that they are a little bit older characters (mid late 20’s) not college age. 🌶️ is great and it’s a cute HEA.

Week and naïve FMC

Throughout the entire book, she is very weak minded and naïve… it was fine in the beginning but now it’s just too much. I just find myself saying are you serious or are you kidding me a little too often in this book. I did feel that it dragged on a bit. There are a lot of moving parts, but in the end, we could’ve made her better character and in doing so, it would’ve shortened it a little bit. I have about 3 1/2 hours left and I am dragging to get to the end.

Great story

Loved this hockey story. Narration was very good. It wasn’t an enemies to lovers but more of an old class mate who had a crush to lovers. I would definitely recommend.
