Portland Storm: The Second Period

De: Catherine Gayle

Narrado por: Angel Clark

Delay of Game

With her father's health in question, Sara Thomas is focused on reducing his anxiety. That's no small feat considering his high-stress job. Everyone knows Sara's single; no one knows she's pregnant. There's never a good time to unexpectedly get knocked up, but now is not it. But when Jonny, one of her father's players, seeks vigilante justice on the ice, everything gets tossed out the window.

Double Major

It's the NHL's draft day, but the whole Portland Storm team is back together for an entirely different event. Complete with a double wedding, an unanticipated guest, overdue apologies, unexpected goodbyes, and fresh starts, this big day has the potential to get them all called for a double major.

In the Zone

It was supposed to be a night of fake names, half-truths, and anonymous sex. Keith Burns, star defenseman for the Portland Storm, was just looking for a way to pass the time. Brianna Hayden wanted to find herself after health issues changed everything. Anonymity is the name of their game; the rules were laid down at the outset. A chance encounter brings them back together long after the game should have ended, shattering their initial rules.

Holiday Hat Trick

When he arrives on Mia's doorstep, things don't go as planned. With her whole family gathered for the holiday, the only way he can be with their daughter is to spend time with them all. He's still in love with Mia, but she won't take him back.

Comeback

Nicklas Ericsson was a star goaltender with the Portland Storm, until his addiction changed everything. Nicky's run out of options, and now his sister and her children are in Portland. They need help he has no clue how to provide, though, and figuring it out might derail all the progress he's made.

Portland storm series

I have become enamored by the recent phenomenon of writing serial romances that build on characters from book to book. This series is one of good substance and character development. I will recommend this set to anyone looking to get the most of a credit although the previous books in the series should ideally be read first to broaden the view.

Excellent!

The stories flow well together and the narrating is perfect. Her voice helps me to picture the characters and really adds to the experience.

Another great success by Catherine Gayle!

I loved catching up with all the players in this series. These stories keep up with the standard of The Portland Storm. I consider these books a must read/listen series. Mitch and Mia have a sweet story. I couldn't help but fall in love with them. It gets better with Cam and Sara. He treats her with such love and kindness you can't help but fall for him. Keith absolutely stole my heart. He was so wonderful to Brianna while helping her accept herself and prove that she is beautiful and talented. Jessica and Nicky have a heartbreaking story. He struggles with addiction and then with his sister's illness. He becomes such an amazing man. These stories cover so many difficulties. Stress, ALS, addiction,body image., suicide and homophobia just to name a few. They are truly stories of overcoming obstacles and inspiration. You can face horrific tragedies and come out ahead. Even get your happily ever after. The audio for this was awesome. I really loved listening. I didn't want to put it down. You won't be disappointed!!

The Portland Storm is always a winner!!

What did you love best about Portland Storm: The Second Period?

I have already read the print books (e-reader) but I love to have audio for trips and work. I like to hear the different voices and inflections used in and audiobook compared to what I used in my head when I read.

Who was your favorite character and why?

This is really hard when we are talking about 5 different books, but Catherine Gayle (in my opinion) has not produced a character I haven't loved. A really long way to say I love them all.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I wanted to and almost did since I have this on my phone and am able to take it with me everywhere. Portability is great :-)

Any additional comments?

I will purchase any of the Portland Storm books and the Tulsa Thunderbirds books by Catherine Gayle.
