Shutout

Rules of the Game, Book 2

De: Avery Keelan

Narrado por: Stella Bloom, Gabriel Spires

He's the tall, tattooed stranger I hooked up with on Halloween... and now he's my new roommate.

After a sudden cross-country move, I'm stuck crashing with my older brother and two of his hockey teammates for sophomore year. I'm not thrilled about shacking up with three athletes and their stinky gear, rotating door of hookups, and tendency to inhale every snack in the house—just some reasons of many that hockey players aren't my type.

When I walk in the front door with an armload of boxes, however, I'm faced with another problem. My anonymous fling from two months ago is Tyler Donahue, the superstar goalie for my brother's team.

We both agree to pretend it never happened, but it quickly becomes clear neither of us can forget. Before I know it, we're exchanging heated glances from across the room, sending spicy texts at all hours of the night, and stealing kisses behind closed doors.

Since my overprotective brother would freak out, we decide to keep things between us a secret. There's no point in rocking the boat when I don't want a boyfriend, and Tyler doesn't have time for a girlfriend with his grueling hockey schedule. But as our no-strings arrangement turns into something deeper and more meaningful, I begin to see a softer side of the broody, closed-off goalie. He's gentle, protective, and giving in every sense of the word. Despite what I told myself going in, I'm falling hard and falling fast.

We said we'd keep things casual, but hearts have a way of breaking all the rules.

Shutout is a college hockey romance with lots of spice, swoon, and a happily ever after. It's the second book in the Rules of the Game series and can be enjoyed as a standalone.

My heart is a puddle

SQUISH goes my heart! Tink and Hades are GOALS! I absolutely adored this book and was so happy that it includes the bonus chapters. Loved the narration! 1000/10!

Tyler Donahue is the mvp

If I could re read this over and over I would. This was my first time listening and the narrators were great!

Love

One of the best I’ve read. Sneaky, hot, love. Always a win. Plus, a great ending.

Love this series

I have loved both of their books in the series. such easy lessons. Very good characterising with the perfect amount of space

Love Tink and Hades

The story is amazing but specifically for this audio, the narrator for Sera was spot on! Couldn’t have picked anyone better. Tyler’s narrator wasn’t exactly what I pictured him sounding like, but he grew on me more and more throughout the book. Definitely worth the purchase.

Amazing and so beautiful ❤️

I loved this book so much it was well worth the wait I loved the relationship that Seraphina and Tyler made the spice was top tier 🔥 and it also really got me emotional from the car. You probably wouldn’t think it, but there are all heavy topics in it that got me emotional but I loved it and the bonus chapters are amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am not really good at rating spice but 🌶️🌶️🌶️


Relatable ADHD MC

Five stars. Relatable adhd main character. Cute romance. Great narration. I enjoyed this audiobook immensely.

Great pace

As a second book, I am so happy it kept the connection to the original friend group. Also great amount of physical connection

Swooning

I really enjoyed the first book of this series but I think I liked this one more! I don’t know why but for some reason I didn’t realize this book was going to be apart of the first one; I thought it was going to be a book with all new characters but I was happily surprised to find out the main female character was Chase’s sister, and the male love interest was his third roommate we knew hardly anything about.
But most of all the thing that stood out the most to me in this book was all of the bonus chapters after the epilogue, it gave so much more depth to the ending of this small series and just overall made my heart happy! 10 out of 10 highly recommend <3

Loved this story…with one exception

I really loved this story. The character development, the honesty related to mental health, family and more. I loved the book! I even loved the narration as both did a great job in Offside, too. BUT…My problem is with the choppy audio editing of the male narrator. It’s so inconsistent that some chapters should just be re-recorded. I’m not looking at the written book so maybe I’m missing something. Internal dialogue? Regardless, it kind of ruined some chapters for me.
