Hat Trick

Blades Hockey Series, Book 3

By: Maria Luis

Narrated by: Elizabeth Hart, Joe Hempel

As the star forward for the Boston Blades, I've earned a reputation for no-strings attached hookups and a mean slapshot that has all the ladies purring - but it's never been the one woman I want to see all fired up and ready to score. Boston's own Ice Queen Gwen James has had my emotions all tangled up for years. I've played the games. I've sat on the sidelines. No matter her reasons, I'm done being benched. When she approaches me for a second chance, I accept on one condition: she's got to prove she's all in. No kissing. No sex. It just might kill me to keep my hands to myself, but it's time Gwen knows what it's like to beg. At the end of the day, I play to win, and I want what no other man has ever had...her heart.

Contains mature themes.

What did I just listen to

If you can’t pull off a Boston accent, don’t even try. That was rough and brought down an ok story.

• Thoughts:
I loved Gwen and Marshall!! I am pretty sure this is going to be my favorite couple! I loved everything about them! I loved how Gwen was the mean girl, but she was changing who she was and wanted to be better! Her family, well, her mother is awful!! I loved that Marshall was from Southy. He had a crappy childhood. I loved how he just accepted Gwen. I truly loved this couple the way they intertwined and.... just read this book. It was a good one.

•Narrator Thoughts:
Elizabeth Hart and Joe Hempel are the narrators, and they were actually new to me narrators. The south accent was a little rocky in the beginning. But other than that. I really enjoyed the narrators. They were great!

loved it

I really enjoyed reading this book. I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

5⭐️Across the board.

I'm plowing thru this series this week.
This has been the best one so far.

I was a bit shocked to her the Southie accent, considering it was completely ignored in book 2.
Joe's voice was about 2 octaves delle and more gravely than Elizabeth's. Her voice for Hunt sounded a bit childish- reminded me of Irkle from Family Matters in the 90s.
Several plot twists were done very well.
Kudos
I would definateltly recommend this book.

I very much enjoyed this!

I loved the narrators and story. I loved how Gwen overcomes her fears. Maria Luis knows how to weave a good story. Gwen and Marshall both have very interesting back stories and I love how they come together in the end.
