Game Changer

De: Rachel Reid

Narrado por: Tor Thom

New York Admirals captain Scott Hunter takes his pregame rituals very seriously. In this case, it's not just a lucky smoothie he's craving - it's the man who made it.  

Pro hockey star Scott Hunter knows a good thing when he sees it. So, when a smoothie made by juice bar barista Kip Grady precedes Scott breaking his on-ice slump, he's desperate to recreate the magic...and to get to know the sexy, funny guy behind the counter.  

Kip knew there was more to Scott's frequent visits than blended fruit, but he never let himself imagine being invited back to Scott's penthouse. Or kissed with reckless abandon, never mind touched everywhere all at once. When it happens, it's red-hot, incredible, and frequent, but also only on Scott's terms and always behind his closed apartment doors.  

Scott needs Kip in his life, but with playoff season approaching, the spotlight on him is suddenly brighter than ever. He can't afford to do anything that might derail his career...like introducing the world to his boyfriend. Kip is ready to go all-in with Scott - but how much longer will he have to remain a secret?

Not the right narrator for this series

The story was pretty good, but the narrator didn't work for me. The narrator is not good with accents, and this series features a diverse cast with accents. Whoever chose Mr. Thom as the narrator did a poor job.

Wow! Hot Read! Stunning performance

I love sports romance and I loved this book. Bravo to Rachel for a hawt(!) story. Tor... wow. Speechless. That voice should come with a warning: NSFW. Thank you for a pleasant read, sir! ;)

A Hard Struggle

This book was a struggle for me because of the narration of Kip's character god-awful accent. The narrator needs to spend a lot more time in Brooklyn to learn their accent because this was the worst attempt I've ever heard. I got through a quarter of the book, stopped listening, and returned several weeks later to finish it. The story was decent but would have been so much better with another narrator. This was my first book narrated by Tor Thom and may be my last.

Wonderful story but...

I love this series! I’ve read and own all the books in the series and I was excited to add the audio version to my library, but I struggled to listen to the narrator and his attempts to create a different voice for each character. They just didn’t match with how I imagined the characters would sound. Normally, I can overlook it when the narrator’s voice sounds different than I imagined but I just couldn’t this time and finally, I had to stop listening to the audio version of the story and reread the story so Scott and Kip could get their voices back as I imagined them to be. Read the book, skip the audio.

Swooooooon

Really loved this book, didn't care too much for the accent the narrator used for Kip, but kinda forgot about it by the 3/4 to the end.
