Crossing Lines

Desert Ice Hockey, Book 2

De: Christie Gordon

Narrado por: Finnley Cole

The moment I catch sight of the new coach, a spark ignites. Do we risk it all with a secret affair?

Jonah: I’m minding my own business when he struts into our locker room.

His confidence and sex appeal in his fitted suit and million-dollar smile are undeniable.

After picking my jaw off the floor, I collect myself. I need to find out more about him.

Do I follow him around? Yes. Do I make a fool of myself? Maybe.

While celebrating a win at the gay bar, my temper flares when I see him with another man. Do I dare take a chance?

Ryan: The first day at my new coaching job, he’s there. A winger whose dark hair and light blue eyes have me stumbling over my first words to the team.

Personal relations with players aren’t allowed. But he plays offense and I coach defense, so does it count?

Everywhere I go, he’s there. Tempting me.

My resolve is crumbling and I’m struggling to keep my distance.

When he catches me at a gay bar in a compromising position, it’s game over. Can we keep this hidden?

Jonah and Ryan love at first glance

Another great addition to the series. It was enjoyable watching these two try to stay away from each other but couldn't. Their love kept them through some rough times, and the support given by their teammates was greatly appreciated. The stalker storyline could have been resolved better, as I didn't like how that situation was handled. Despite that this was an enjoyable listen and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Bad Decisions!

Jonah and Ryan do not seem to make very good decisions even when it comes to each other. The real factors that would be involved when a coach and a player are involved were well done here. I loved Jonah's friends and family. I was all about the supportive side characters. Interestingly there is a stalker here as well. Not going to give away any of those details though! This relationship was intense with some good spice and emotion. I had read this story as well and I think that Finnley Cole's narration definitely brought out all the personalities and emotions!

Hockey Coach & Player Hotness

This second book in Christie Gordon's Desert Ice Hockey series is another good one. We're back with the college puck boys of ASU, focusing this time on player Jonah and new defensive coach Ryan. Jonah is entering his senior year on the team with eyes towards either the NHL or medical school. But he's hit right up side the head with fate with his first glimpse of Ryan as he introduced to the team. Jonah is all in right there no matter what. Ryan is struggling with the long-term illness of his mother and the recent break up of his first and only relationship. He just knows that getting involved with a player on his team is the worst idea ever, but he just can't stop himself and neither can Jonah. Their fragile relationship is threatened to be exposed by a vindictive ex who has become Ryan's stalker. There's hurt/comfort, age gap, hockey, and instalove to savor in this book. And, as always, Finley Cole is a fantastic narrator. I especially love the Canadian accent for Ryan. The MCs are very sweet together and I can't wait to read the rest of this series.

Great to listen to.

This audio was a pleasure to listen to. The story came to life and I enjoyed every bit of it.

Nothing can keep them apart

Crossing Lines is about Jonah, a left winger for ASU and Ryan, the defensive coach. Although lust at first sight for both they try to stay away from each other because coach/student rules. When Jonah saves Ryan from a stalker things change and they instead try to keep their affair quiet but find that Jonah's teammates have their back and will do anything to help them achieve Jonah's goal of being selected to the NHL and keeping Ryan by his side. I love how Finney Cole narrates this story and how the voices for all the characters are always spot on.
