Lakes Hockey, Book 3

De: Sloane St. James

Narrado por: Kasha Kensington, Aiden Snow

Raleigh

Growing up, the ice was my safe space. I excelled at playing hockey. However, these days, it's hockey players who provide sanctuary—one bed at a time. We have an arrangement. I offer them a night of pleasure, and in return, they grant me all the temporary, artificial love I can get my hands on—a chance to feel whole. Happily ever after doesn't exist where I come from, but I crave it just the same. It was a foolproof system.

Until Barrett. One night with him was all it took to tear down walls and crack the facade I worked so hard to build. The connection we had felt real, which made it all the more heartbreaking when it was time to leave. To him, I was simply another puck bunny. I never planned on seeing him again, until I discovered our one night changed my life forever. When I tried to reach out, he turned callous and cruel. That was the day I swore I'd never allow Barrett back into my life.

Barrett

It's been over five years since our one-night stand and I still can't get her out of my head. No woman has ever come close to making me feel the things she did that night. But when I woke up the next morning, I was alone, without any way to contact her. Trust me, I tried. Over the years, searching for her has become an obsession, and I've faced endless ridicule from my teammates, but I'll never give up. She's out there, and I'm gonna find her.

That day finally comes after a spontaneous meet and greet with a new Minnesota Lakes sponsor. Suddenly, there she is, more beautiful than ever. If looks could kill, I'd be six feet deep. Raleigh's convinced we are done for good, but now that I've found her, I'll stop at nothing to make her mine. Because this time she has a four-year-old son—and he looks just like me.

This spicy hockey romance features a giant hockey player MMC, a curvy single-mother FMC, a secret baby (child), angst, an age gap, dirty talk, praise, primal play, and of course, a happily ever after. For mature listeners.

I loved this story.

I loved this story. I normally hate a miscommunication troupe, but this book did it well and had it cleared very quickly. Barrett then went above and beyond to make sure that Raleigh knew what he was feeling throughout the rest of the book. I liked watching Raliegh open up and learn to let him in.

Barrett is my dream

This was done so well! I and in love with Sloan’s characters and the audio was the cherry on top of a fantastic story.

Barrett and Raleigh were absolutely everything, and the narrators brought them to life so well. You could hear the emotion so clearly and they just made me fall even deeper in love with this story.

Do not miss this

I have loved this series so much! This is my second favorite of the 3 so far, the narrators were both excellent

I liked it more than I thought I would

I love a pregnancy trope. And well I only listen to this one because Aiden Snow was the narrator.

Spicyyyyy!!!!

Some of the best and explicit spicy scenes I have ever read. Rewound so many times. Narrators did a great job, too.
