Pucks & Rainbows, Book 1

By: L.A. Witt

Narrated by: Nick J. Russo, Michael Ferraiuolo

A 40-something single dad, a 20-something hockey star, and a whole lot of baggage. No, this couldn’t possibly blow up in their faces.

Officer Geoff Logan has his plate full. His cop’s salary and Marine retirement aren’t enough to make ends meet. He’s got war wounds and demons that are in it for the long haul. His teenagers are, well, teenagers, plus they’re pissed that he left the boyfriend they loved. Can’t a guy catch a break?

Seattle Snowhawks center Asher Crowe has it all. A seven-figure salary. A literal house on a hill. A stable, loving relationship with an amazing boyfriend. At least, that’s what the world sees. Behind closed doors, he’s been living in a private hell, and when he finally works up the courage to end things, his boyfriend refuses to go quietly.

One call to the cops, and suddenly Geoff and Asher’s paths cross. But is the connection between them simple chemistry? Kindred spirits? Or just a pair of lonely hearts looking for a hot distraction?

And even if it’s more than physical, is there really a future for two men from such vastly different worlds? Especially when the past comes knocking?

Horrible narration

Hi everyone
This is a really good book but the narration for jeff sucked big time. The one that did Asher was ok but the guy for Jeff well...... he was just horrible. The storyline was actually pretty good ,wish authors would pick narrators that had a decent amount of acting. This guy not sure which one was pathetic. What c as n I say. I’m tired of returning books because of crappy narrators.

Good narration of what should have been a novella

The narrators did well. I’ve listened to both before and their skills prompted my decision to listen to this book. I typically really like this author, and the book was good, but I think the angst of the characters as they moved through issues resulting from past relationships was too drawn out. I’m not uninterested in the remaining books in the series, but will borrow from the library rather than paying to own.

Good, but...

In the end I liked this book, but there were many times I was like, just talk. I wanted Jeff to talk to his kids, Asher to talk to his team. Jeff and Asher to talk to each other. In the end everyone talks and like magic it’s all good.

Too much emotional pain and damage

The narrators were the saving grace of the story. They have natural voices. Not at all over-acted. The story, however, has both of the lead characters suffering after-effects of abusive relationships. so there is too much ultrasensitivity for one novel. Hesitant to read the other books in the series.

A hurt hockey player bumping with a hurt older cop

An interesting and nice love story between two men who have been abused by their exes. Not easy to get confident again! Between these traumas, their age difference and their demanding schedules, will they happen to find a way for their burgeoning love?
This story is perfectly narrated by Nick Russo and Michael Ferraiuolo. The voices are perfectly in accordance with the two characters and their different ages.
Highly recommended ;-)
