Power Play

Blades Hockey Series, Book 1

De: Maria Luis

Narrado por: Elizabeth Hart, Joe Hempel

He (was) the hottest player on the ice.

She's a (struggling) sports journalist looking for her big break.

Charlie Denton has been handed the most impossible assignment from her stick-in-the-mud boss: get an exclusive interview with the NHL's golden boy, Duke Harrison.

The catch? She's got eight days or she'll be demoted. Fired. Kicked to the curb - no way is she letting her future rest on the broad shoulders of a goalie who is at least three seasons past his prime.

She has eight days to convince Duke that the loyal fans of the Cambridge Tribune (annual circulation: 1,000) are dying to know about his life, on and off the ice. Eight days to stand toe-to-toe with a man who is pure sex on a stick. Eight days to remember that every mind-blowing kiss is nothing but a power play.

What could go wrong?

Contains mature themes.

3.5 stars

It was very cute. I saw the ending coming before it did which was a little disappointing. I did like the story though and the relationship of Charlie and Duke. I really loved that she played hockey as well. it was believable.

Just what you expect from a sports romance

Good banter, characters, and the kind of story that works well in this genre for the listener.

Hot

Not normally a sports romance listener but I had credits to use, glad I did.

Hockey stood out the most

I liked that the female use to play hockey also, so that they were able to play a game opposite each other.

Cute sports romance

Just what you expect from a short story. It had the meet, the banter, the attraction, the emotional breakup and a HEA. Perfect length and the narration was great.
This is pretty much identical story to Right Man, Right Time by Meghan Quinn BUT this audio is 5 hrs whereas Right Man, Right Time was over 12 hrs! Really cute little sports plot doesn't need to be over 12hrs. Thanks Maria Luis for being entertaining, concise and keeping it short.
