Publisher's Summary

He's a gifted hockey player who can't get his act together. 

The moment I heard about Levi Ziegler, I had a bad feeling in my gut. As a seasoned sports agent, I just knew he was going to be trouble. But despite my reservations, as a favor to the GM of the Vancouver Wolves, I agreed to sign this young, wild player as a client. 

One reckless night, one terrible mistake, and suddenly my entire world and everything I have worked for is on thin ice. Thanks to my rookie. 

I shouldn't work with him professionally, because I can't seem to keep my hands off him. The more tangled our lies get, the more complicated our relationship becomes. 

Can I figure out how to get him signed with the team, while keeping him out of my bed and my heart? 

He's a high risk rookie, and he's a liability I can't resist.

Contains mature themes.

Entertaining

I enjoyed the listen of this story. Levi was consistent throughout and I felt sorry for him. I wanted to smack Krista for her on again off again mentality and messing with Levi's feelings. Other than that it was a good story. Narration performance was good.

great story

Love the story and finally hearing the FMC's background. Didn't love that the female narrator had an accent at times for the MMC, but the male narrator did not. Besides that, another great listen from Odette Stone!

A man making love to a man in a different voice is less than a turn off. Then a woman as a man seems stupid.

If you select a book with two readers with woman and man, would you then expect the man to be a woman and a man. Or a woman voicing a man. Why?
Add to this the man with a weak Rocky Balboa voice.
Why would anyone with decent marketing ability do that? Very poor approach. It ruins an otherwise decent story.

Levi and Krista unlikely love

I wasn’t sure about this story line at beginning, but Levi and Krista chemistry was off the chart. I loved their interactions and how Levi handled Krista! Love Mica and Charlie included in this story. Would’ve like to see interaction with Ryan and his girlfriend like they didn’t exist. Where is Rory and her beau? Did they get married have any kids, etc. Would like more of this series. Would love a novella planning Levi and Krista big wedding.

The whole Thanksgiving scene with the mom and sister was crazy. Where is the dad? He just sits around and let Bee wreck havoc over Krista’s life. Also, the way Bee indulged the sister was a bit much.

Overall the love scenes and story line made me not want to put it down

Levi and Krista

A witty, charming, steamy and highly entertaining romance. I enjoyed going on this journey with Krista and Levi.
Narration was great!

great story

funny story and suspense included. some steamy happenings with guest appearances from players of other books in series.

Frustrating

I have loved this series...but this one did not work for me. Krista was not likable. She pushes Levi away the entire book...like to the very last chapter. I understand slow burn...but this was just frustrating. I felt bad for Levi and kept hoping he would move on. Levi was sweet and he pursues Krista from the very beginning. I kept waiting for Krista to thaw a little and FINALLY show him a softer side...but nope! And it was so confusing seeing her be so wimpy with her family and so hardnosed with Levi. It was like two different people. And it was so weird how at the end Levi and Bea (Krista’s mom) are now planning a wedding when she has been HORRIBLE the whole way through. Umm…what did I miss? They never explained why Krista’s family is so terrible to her. There was just a lot that didn’t work for me. I’m so sorry to say that. I love this author.
