If You Need Me

The Toronto Terror Series

De: Helena Hunting

Narrado por: Andi Arndt, Stephen Dexter

A standalone enemies to lovers, fake engagement hockey romance.

I’ve been secretly in love with Wilhelmina Reddi-Grinst since the third grade.

I should be the one taking her to our small-town high school reunion. The prom king finally gets his chance with the valedictorian.

Except she hates me.

To the world, I’m a pro hockey player with a million dollar smile.

To Hemi, I’m the menace who (accidentally) sank her bike to the bottom of the lake.

I never thought I’d be able to right my wrongs until she took the team’s PR job.

I’d hoped I was making progress, winning her over—one geriatric polka party at a time.

Until I got drunk one night and made a mistake. A very big mistake.

Now the world thinks we’re both very much in love—except Hemi is absolutely in loathe.

To save our jobs and reputations, we have to convince all our friends, family, and bosses that our fake relationship is the real deal.

I’ll do anything to protect her, especially if it means I get to be the best boyfriend Hemi never expected.

Characters

I love this book! I had a hard time in high school also. I love that the author, Helena wrote this character’s story this way because a lot of people go through so much in high school too! The romance of it It was hot! *waving hand in front of face* 🤤

Romance

ALL THE HEART EYES. This book made me laugh, cry, get a little angry at the FMC because the MMC is PERFECT.

Love, love, love!

I had so many feelings while reading this story. It’s full of moments with the girlfriend group, hockey teammates, growing up trauma, a strong female main character, the kindest alpha male character, lots of laughs and the grandest gestures. I laughed out loud, cried at tender times and in pure happy times.

If you love strong women, sweet guys, the best friend group, workplace romance, snarky banter, a fun group of supporting characters, seggsy times (whew!) and plot twist endings check this one out. It’s book three in a new favorite series for me.

Hooked on this series...

First of all, I loved Dallas & Hemi. I can also relate to Hemi on a professional level, what she goes through hits close to home. Dallas' endless devotion and love for Hemi are so incredibly sweet. I am awaiting the next in the series for sure.

Andi Arnt and Stephen Dexter did a great job, as well. I always enjoy Andi, she's a rock star for sure. Stephen is relatively new to me and I enjoyed his narration.

Absolutely ADORED!

Dallas & Hemi have stolen my heart!!

This audio is CHEF's KISS okay!! Andi Arndt couldn't give a terrible performance if she tried, and she was FANTASTIC as Hemi!! All her bad b**** boss energy with a side of softness was impeccable! Stephen Dexter as Dallas? SWOONING! Seriously, one of his best performances in my opinion! He did an incredible job bringing Dallas and his down bad for Hemi self to life! LOVED IT!

Now book/story: HELENA HUNTING WHAT DID YOU PUT IN THESE TWO?! I absolutely fell in love with Dallas from the first page! He was so down bad for Hemi, even when she couldn't stand him! Like, had been down bad for YEARS for her, and bless his soul, I just loved the way he loved her! He was trying so hard to make up for his younger self, and protect Hemi at every turn! I wasn't sure if Tristan could be pushed out of the top spot for the Terrors,,,but Dallas is putting in WORK to get that spot lol!!! And I mean, the man loves to EAT, blessss him & his mouth if you know what I mean hehe!

And Hemi?! My LAWD did I feel for her! She was a total baddie, boss, & so many wanted to bring her down for that energy?! It made me so angry on behalf of her...Like that one guy in the office? Infuriating!!! & the high school bullies?? They can get in line too, all because they couldn't handle her energy! As I said, I felt for her and just wanted to hug her because all she wanted was to be accepted & loved for who she is, and it took her a minute, but Dallas was THAT MAN!

This series just continues to get better and better, and I have loved every single second of all of these characters and their stories. The love, the FRIENDSHIP, the laughs, the tears, all of it! I never want it to end!

Another great one!

I liked everything about this story. The writing, the narration, all of it. I laughed, cried and even yelled at a couple of characters. Looking so forward to the next story!😃

Great story

Another winner from Helena Hunting. The only thing that could make this better is duet narration instead of duel but they did a great job!

So sweet

This book was such a sweet and heartwarming read! Wilhelmina and Dallas have a shared history, growing up together and now both tied to the Toronto Terror hockey team. Wilhelmina struggled in high school and always felt Dallas contributed to her difficulties, so he wasn’t exactly her favorite person. What she doesn’t know is that Dallas has been secretly in love with her for years. When they’re thrown into a fake relationship, spending more time together brings their true feelings to the surface. The narrators brought Wilhelmina and Dallas to life perfectly, matching how I imagined their voices and personalities. If you’re looking for a swoon-worthy book boyfriend and a strong, witty FMC with great banter, this one needs to be on your TBR!

Oh Dallas, baby

I actually adored this story. Dallas is an absolute dream come true. The big sweet cinnamon roll man who is 100% obsessed head over heels and love with the girl that he fun at and bullied when they were little! And please don’t get it twisted Will does not take his crap. She gives it right back to himtenfold. And I love that about them. The spice is definitely spicy. And I just absolutely love the story.
