Kiss and Don't Tell

De: Meghan Quinn

Narrado por: Jason Clarke, Vanessa Edwin

Five hockey players, a cabin in the woods...and little old me, Winnie Berlin.

Sounds like the start of a fantasy, right? But it's not. It's my reality.

It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. A wicked thunderstorm sent my car mud sliding into a ditch, and for a girl whose survival skills involve finding the nearest Starbucks, I was in deep trouble.

Forced to abandon my car in search of help, I stumbled upon a cabin in the middle of nowhere. Soaking wet, irritated, and in desperate need of a hot shower, I knocked on the door for help only to be greeted by five boisterous, burly, and insanely attractive men.

Not just men.

Professional hockey players.

I hit the motherload of fantasies, right? Wrong.

Because as it turns out, one of them is my ex-boyfriend's half-brother. And when I end up crashing in their spare bedroom for the night, things take a very unexpected turn.

I'm not sure any amount of survival skills can protect my heart from Vancouver Agitators star goalie, Pacey Lawes. But as long as we kiss and don’t tell, maybe everything will be okay....

One of my favourites from Meghan Quinn

From the first chapter to the last I was hooked on the story that Meghan Quinn wove. Winnie Berlin is at a crossroads, having recently lost her mother, so she sets out on a road trip which she has no idea will change her life forever. Getting lost she stumbles across a cabin near Banff where she meets 5 members of a hockey team including Pacey Lawes who sends her in to a tailspin.
I fell hard and fast for all these characters, they ticked all the boxes for me. I particularly loved how supportive Pacey was of Winnie.
I absolutely adored each and every one of Pacey and his quirky friends, the camaraderie and banter, not to mention text messages between them had me laughing out loud on numerous occasions.
The narrators Jason Clarke and Vanessa Edwin did a fabulous job voicing these characters, their voices are easy to listen to and certainly did justice to the characters. Jason in particular did a great job giving voice to each male character with individual voices which I really appreciate when they had group conversations.
There were numerous laugh out loud moments, wonderful secondary characters that were so quirky and endearing and I am hoping with all my heart that we will get their stories too.

Loved Pacey and Winnie so much!

Ever wish your car would break down and the house you go to help has five hot hockey players living there? And they offer to help you out? No, just me? Well, at least Winnie got to live my dream. When Meghan Quinn announced she had an upcoming hockey series that had five hockey hotties, I could not hit pre-order quick enough. “Kiss and Don’t Tell” is a slapshot winner of humor, heart and emotions.

Pacey and 4 of his teammates are in Canada relaxing after the gruelling season. On their first night there during a thunderstorm, Winnie knocks on their door after getting stuck in the mud from the storm. Having nowhere else to go, she stays the night. Pacey is instantly taken with her and helps her out. Pacey and Winnie quickly develop a friendship and bond. However, Winnie is there on a mission and Pacey has some secrets of his own he hasn't shared with her.

I absolutely loved every word and chapter of this book. I was hooked from the prologue and couldn’t put it down. Pacey and all of his teammates are close and it showed from the very beginning. You could tell they had a true brotherhood. And they all had different personalities to make five very interesting guys and I loved them all. Winnie is a strong, independent woman who I adored. I love how she followed her gut and heart. Pacey and Winnie were somewhat lost souls who found each other when they needed to.

Jason Clarke and Vanessa Edwin were magic together. This story is an emotional rollercoaster and their performance made the story even more special to me.

Great New Series!

I'm a sucker for hockey romance books and add in one of my favorite authors and I couldn't wait to read this one!

Their story started off in a crazy way; 5 guys, 1 girl, stranded in a cabin in the woods? Sounds scary but funny moments came about instead. This story was big yes for me; it hooked me from the start and kept a great pace throughout. Loved Pacey and Winnie and all the rest of the Vancouver Agitators! Great start to what I hope is all the hockey romance to come!

Amazing

I absolutely loved this book!

Funny, loving, hopeful. Great character development and chemistry. A true love story of soulmates.


Highly recommend.

Not the Typical Storyline

I truly enjoyed this! It was not the typical played out storyline. It had steam, laughter, tears, and would highly recommend.

Great fun story

Pacey is a professional hockey player on vacation during the off season with his teammates when they have an unexpected knock on the door. Winnie is off on an adventure when her car gets stuck in the mud. I really enjoyed this fun story. I also loved all the other boys and can’t wait for their stories. I also loved Winnie’s friends. This story will make you laugh out loud.

Swoon

Loved the way they meet and the way they come back together . His friends are the best ! Waiting for more books for this guys 🥰

hockey sticks and cake

The Queen of RomCom does it again! The banter and witty back-and-forth’s are amazing. The characters are written with perfect development and depth. Pacey Lawes plus Winnie Berlin equals couple goals! They bring out the absolute best in each other. As far as the steamy – Oh Meghan, you are a dirty, dirty girl… and I freaking LOVE it!!!!! Pacey makes me want to slap my husband. Meghan, do you have any idea how hard it is to work with Pacey dirty talking in my ears? Like ma'am, I am an accountant. I'm every bit the southern girl, I am sitting at my desk, fanning myself and exclaiming “I do declare!” I think I’ve maybe been ALC’ing some really raunchy books lately because my first thought when Winnie walked into the cabin was, “Oh yay, a reverse harem!” I’m just saying, if anyone could kill it in a RomCom RH genre it would be Meghan Quinn. Jaysus woman, you slay me. One minute I’m laughing hysterically, the next minute I’m blushing and can’t catch my breath. I heart you so hard.

Meghan, if you don’t give us more books for the other guys, I’ll legit lose it. Does Holmes end up with Katherine? Because I’m kind of shipping them together. How freaking EPIC! What about Max and Ian???? Posey, Horny and Taters (aka Potato)???

Seriously y’all, I can’t recommend this audiobook enough! Jason Clarke and Vanessa Edwin’s were perfectly cast for their roles. They were exemplary in how they embraced all the emotional highs and lows of the story. Meghan’s books have such a diverse emotional range with love, lust, heartache, comedy, etc. Jason and Vanessa were beyond amazing in delivering all of it. The comedic timing was spot on. They made you feel like you were right there in the story and part of the gang. Plus, Jason Clarke whispering dirty stuff in your ear.... Good God!!!

Thank you to Piece of Cake Audiobooks for gifting me this hilarious audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Entertaining Listen!

Kiss and Don’t Tell by Meghan Quinn was such an entertaining and fun story and was a fantastic start to a new series. Winnie is on a journey of self discovery when she ends up in a ditch and stumbles upon a cabin in the Canadian Rockies and five professional hockey players. Pacey and his teammates are in between their hockey season vacationing at a cabin when Winnie comes crashing in.

The development of Pacey and Winnie’s relationship was beautifully written. I loved their connection right from the beginning. Their easy friendship, banter and chemistry made them so easy to fall for.

Listening to the audiobook was a delight! Vanessa Edwin and Jason Clarke were fantastic together. Vanessa portrayed Winnie’s quirky and sweet personality traits flawlessly and Jason really brought out all the emotion and humor with his performance of Pacey.

Good book

The story kept my attention. I would like to hear more about the other characters.
