Breakaway

Beyond the Play, Book 2

De: Grace Reilly

Narrado por: Brian Meslar, Faith Clark

A secret friends-with-benefits arrangement with the coach’s daughter shouldn’t have a shot in the dark of leading to more…

Cooper

As a pro-bound college athlete with a good-time reputation, I usually have my pick of puck bunnies. But lately, I’ve been in a dry spell that feels more like a curse, and the stress is affecting my game–the one thing that can’t happen if I’m going to keep building my case for a future in the NHL, starting with making team captain.

Enter Penny Ryder.

She’s my coach’s daughter, but the moment she pulls me into that ice rink closet and lets me have my way with her, she’s the one thing on my mind besides hockey. She wants me to introduce her to all the things she’s been dying to experience with a guy, and by looking at her list? If I say yes, I’ll be relaxed on the ice again—but if her dad finds out what we’re up to, I’ll be forced to say goodbye to the chance at being captain and finally earning my own father’s approval.

Penny

Thanks to the ex from hell, I’m a long way from being ready for a relationship–but after an unfortunate morning involving my roommate and a flying–ahem–personal toy, it’s clear that it’s finally time to reclaim my agency, one long-sought-after experience in bed at a time.

Enter Cooper Callahan.

He’s the most casual guy I can think to be with–but he just so happens to be my hockey coach dad’s star defenseman.

Yet the longer our connection goes on, the more we trust each other, and the less I want to say goodbye. I know love leads to heartbreak, but what if it can also clear the ice for a breakaway?

50/50 because of the narrators

I love this series! The story line, romance, smut, is perfect! I have to agree with some of the other reviews on the narrators! They weren’t horrible but close to it. They definitely need more experience in reading romance novels.

Cute

The main characters were a little too soft for me. Typical daddy issues and compensating with casual sex. But the spice was top notch! Cute story, minimal drama

Sooooo delicious!

Wow wow wow. That was so much fun to read/listen to! All of the spice you could want in a Feel good story! 5 stars from me!

Did her parents read the book to safe money?

The voices sound like she had her parents read the book as fast as possible to save money. Narrators are terrible and spoke too fast and unemotionally.

Great story! So cute!

Giving narration a 4.5 ⭐️ because there were a few audio glitches in the recording. Even though I did enjoy both the male and female narrators I felt like the male narrator could have used more inflection during some of his scenes. Otherwise, his voice was hot so I don’t mind.

Story wise, I give it a 5 ⭐️. It was heartfelt and empowering all at once. I love the interconnection between the siblings’ stories and I look forward to the next book. The only thing I would have liked to see was revenge on the jerk face that hurt her but her happiness is revenge enough I suppose.
