Story
Sometimes lady luck shakes your hand, and sometimes she smacks your face. Sometimes she does both on the same day. Three years ago, I met the most amazing girl in the world. We were both down on our luck. Then I got that call - the one that tells you to get your buns on a plane to go meet your destiny. But the girl was left behind. I didn’t have her phone number, and she didn’t know my real name. While I became a professional hockey player, she became a superstar, with platinum records and legions of fans. And a slick music producer boyfriend who treated her badly.

Story
You'd think a billion dollars, a professional hockey team and a six-bedroom mansion on the Promenade would satisfy a guy. You'd be wrong. For seven years Rebecca has brightened my office with her wit and her smile. She manages both my hockey team and my sanity. I don't know when I started waking in the night, craving her. All I know is that one whiff of her perfume ruins my concentration. And her laugh makes me hard.

Story
On the eve of her 30th birthday, sports agent Bess Beringer is ready to make some changes. Armed with a five-year plan - indexed and color coded - she’ll tackle her personal life with the same zeal that she brings to her successful agency. A big, tall, ripped hunk of hockey player who’s just been traded to the Brooklyn Bruisers is not a part of that plan. Mark “Tank” Tankiewicz has a lot of baggage. He’s a ride-or-die loner with a bad reputation. He’s on the rebound. He’s also the sexiest thing on two legs, and for some crazy reason it’s Bess that he wants.

But on the first day he's called up to the newly franchised Brooklyn Bruisers, Leo gets checked on both sides. First by the team's coach, who has a long simmering grudge, and then by the Bruisers' sexy, icy publicist - his former girlfriend Georgia Worthington. Saying goodbye to Leo was one of the hardest things Georgia ever had to do - and saying hello again isn't much easier.

Dylan is my best friend, and the only person in my life who understands me. He doesn’t mind my social awkwardness or my weird history. The only glitch? He doesn’t know that I’m hopelessly, desperately in love with him. But I know better than to confess. Now that we’re both in college together, I’m seeing a new side of him. College Dylan drinks and has a lot of sex. None of it with me. Until the night I foolishly ask him to tutor me in more than algebra...and he actually says yes. But the cool morning light shows me how badly I’ve endangered our friendship.

Publisher's Summary
Everyone knows the girl is off-limits. But it's so good to be bad.
There’s this girl....
Heidi and I have been trading hungry looks all year, and everything she does makes me smile. But I don't do girlfriends, and I certainly can't get involved with the league commissioner's daughter. I need shots on goal, not a hookup and a widely misunderstood paparazzi photo. Can I resist her, though? The way she teases me should be a game penalty for interference with my libido.
There’s this guy....
Jason wants me, but he won’t admit it. That man looks at me the way a hockey player eyes the lunch buffet after practice - and I love it.
But when victory is finally within my grasp, I blow it and humiliate myself. Even then I can’t even avoid him - as the team intern, I’m in constant view of his hard body and cocky smile.
I need another chance. Jason Castro is about to learn the true meaning of an overnight sensation.

Heartfelt Addition to the Series
Overall 4.5 stars
Performance 5 stars
Story 4 stars
I don't think I will ever tire of Sarina Bowen's Brooklyn Bruisers series! I have enjoyed every single book (though I don't think anyone will ever top Nate in my heart *swoon*) and her writing is always sexy, fun, and heartfelt. Though this is book 5 in the series, this slightly forbidden/friends to lovers-ish romance can be enjoyed as a standalone. Characters from the previous books do appear, however, and that is where our hero and heroine initially meet.
Oh, Castro. My heart totally went out to him and his broken soul. He was such a cuddly teddy bear under all the bluster and dirty talk. His insecurities and fears made so much sense once his past was revealed and I ached for the 18 year old boy he once was. Heidi came across naive and flighty at first, but she had the greatest character growth and really came into her own through the course of the book. I loved how she faced every new job and challenge and didn't back down. She complemented Castro really well and I loved their banter and chemistry. There is some angst and push and pull as they struggle with their feelings and budding relationship, but I liked that it was resolved almost as quickly as it began. It really let the growth of each character really shine. I did feel like things with Heidi's father wrapped up a little abruptly (considering how hard and critical he was throughout the book), and I would have loved an epilogue a little down the road. Some seeds were planted for sweet goalie Silas, however, and I really hope that we get his book in the future. If that happens, I have a feeling he will give my beloved Nate a run for his money!
I think Jason Clarke may be my new narrator crush! He is absolutely perfect in everything I have listened to and I am constantly impressed by his talent to voice so many characters (male and female) so exquisitely. Jason Clarke and Savannah Peachwood were the perfect duo to voice Castro and Heidi. I loved the little twang they each gave Hot Pepper for certain words and their stellar narration really added a new layer of enjoyment to the book!

Sensational storytelling
Love Jason and Heidi’s love story and how unapologetic Heidi is about getting what she wants. Jason is a loveable cynic who is afraid to love again and she broke down all the walls. You get to meet the rest of the gang and get more time with the Bruisers.
Jason Clarke is phenomenally well cast for this role and I love every minute of it and Savannah really brings out the feisty and go getter side of Heidi! Love !!

Keeps Getting Better
I always think the last book in the series was my favorite...until I read the next one. I loved Heidi Jo. I didn’t know if I was going to like her at first but you I couldn’t help but love her. She knows her faults and works hard to show everyone including herself that there’s more to her than being a spoiled rich girl. I love how she met every challenge with class and sass. Jason was perfect...well in the end of course. Narration was on point. Can’t wait for the next in the series.

I’m sorry
This didn’t entirely work for me. I’ve loved all of Sarina’s other books but not this one, and the reason is Heidi Jo. I found her spoiled, immature, too impulsive and whiny, and didn’t understand what Jason saw in her. The narrator did a good job on capturing her voice, but it only highlighted my annoyance with the character and her thoughtless choices.
I liked Jason, though, and the minor characters were great as always. I can’t give it more than 3 stars, however, and that’s a first for me when it comes to one of Ms. Bowen’s books, which are usually 5 star reads for me.

Quirky / Fun / Witty
Heidi is AMAZING! Her father really throws a wrench into her plans all because he sees her doing something she doesn’t want to do.
But what I LOVED was how little drama Heidi caused, she picked up her big girl panties and did the job or jobs asked even if that meant don’t things she didn’t want. (LOVE THIS so hard)
I liked that she became friends with so many people, I am a huge believer in you get what you give, it really felt like that for me with everything that Heidi goes through and how she deals with it.
The chemistry between Jason and Heidi hits the roof and how they try to stay away but they can’t I loved.
I really wasn’t sure what was going to happen at the beginning of this book it took me a little bit to get into but when I did I was HOOKED! So if your up for adventure and twists and turns this book is a for sure.
The narration was really great as well; I am a big fan of Jason Clarke so I was in heaven with him in my ears. Savannah Peachwood is a newish narrator for me and sometimes she can sound really young for her characters but this time she was exactly who I think of as Heidi.

So sweet!
I loved that Jadon & Heidi Jo got their story. How often does that love/lust at first site actually work out?? But the two of them are just perfect together. Both a little deeper than you would thing from when we were first introduced to their characters. This is such a great series! Always fun stories!
And the narration by Jason & Savannah...wonderful! They are both sooo good and brining their characters to life. I love Jason Clarke more and more every time I hear him!!

Adorable
Jason Castro has made me giggle as a secondary character in the previous Brooklyn Bruisers books, so I was excited for his story. And it didn't disappoint. I was very pleasantly surprised to find Heidi Jo charming and hilarious as well. I loved how the author has her put her head down and work hard, rather than cave to her daddy. Their story is charming and might be predictable, there were some fun and unexpected turns. Fun read!

Unexpectedly amazing (and I expected a lot)
I've been a fan of Sarina Bowen since Him, but I had been avoiding listening to this book for a while. I've been on a m/m kick lately and just wasn't interested in a m/f romance. But Overnight Sensation was exactly what I needed. This is what an excellent romance looks (and sounds) like. Stellar narration, beautiful story structure and character development, and a modern approach to feminism and wealth culture. I expected to just sort of put up with Heidi, from her appearances in earlier books, but she's become one of my favorite book heroines of all time. Castro is also nicely penned. If you're on the fence about this one, don't hesitate to spend that credit!

Hot Hot Hot Pepper
Heidie Jo is adorable. And yes I know she'd probably roll her eyes at me for saying so, but she is. And Jason Castro makes me swoon. Who doesn't love it when a playboy fails in love?
While Heidi is an open book, Castro is hiding a heartbreaking past. It's hard when he pulls away from her when those sad memories are forced back into his present.
On the fun side of this book, I loved all the jobs Heidi is forced to do. And I love how she does them with such a great attitude.
I will say that even though the manner in which her father goes about making her take "real" jobs isn't the best, I can see some merit in the lessons she learns. I fully support everyone being made to take a job in customer service or something like it before getting a cushy corporate job. It builds character.
Great book, great characters. I really enjoyed it.

A fantastic story brilliantly read.
This is a great book that I found hard to switch off. The readers performed so well and really sucked me into the story. It is part of a series but you don't need to have read any of the others you enjoy it, in fact, it will just make you want to read the rest.

So good and enhanced by the narration
I have been enjoying Sarina Bowen's hockey books and this book is no sensation. It's always great to revisit the Bruisers and I really like all the characters we meet from the team. I hope that hockey players in real life are so awesome. This story is about Jason and Heidi. Jason has such a heartbreaking past and he keeps his pain close, projecting a happy facade but deeper down, he is suffering. Heidi is light- I loved that she smiled through anything life threw at her. Even though she was born with a "silver spoon", she never let a little hard work get her down. It was a wonderful representation of the unfailing human spirit and I adored her character. Together, along with the supporting cast, which I've remembered from prior books and I really just love this series. I'm already ready to start on the next book in the series!
What can you say about Jason Clarke and Savannah Peachwood? I have the ebook but I requested and received the audiobook and the audiobook elevated the story (who knew it was possible?). These two narrators really are able to bring the story to life and I love listening to both of them. (Admittedly, they are two of my favorites across audiobooks). So, definitely worth a credit!!

I love this series and I feel like every single book gets better than the last. I kinda love how torn up Castro was. I'm pretty much obsessed with this author.

Another goal for Sarina Bowen
Loved the whole Brooklyn Bruisers series and Overnight Sensation was just as good as the rest. Good to see previous characters are included and you get to see what is happening with them.

Enjoyable listen
This was a good listen. Missing the spark of something unique I needed to push it up to 5 stars, but still definitely worth a credit.

A sweet, sexy read
Light, easy, sort of forbidden, hockey romance. My favourite. Jason Castro, at a young age, had his heart broken, so, in true bad boy fashion, he’s sworn off relationships and just has hook-ups. Heidi Pepper is a good girl, who really really wants to be bad, particularly with Jason Castro and she’s going to do her damnedest to make that happen. I loved Heidi, she was smarty, funny, hard working and despite her spoilt rich girl background was willing to go the extra mile for her hockey team, it’s just a shame daddy is a bit of a jerk. A sweet, sexy read, wonderful writing, and another great addition to the Brooklyn Bruisers series. I just love this hockey family, and I’m always eager to read more of their antics. Jason Clarke and Savannah Peachwood narrate perfectly.

Amazing!
I love the voices, love the story, LOVE LOVE LOVE. This book in the series takes a little longer to hit the love and raunchy details then the previous. It’s a great change of pace.
