Slapshot

De: Rebecca Jenshak, Heart Eyes Press

Narrado por: Emma Wilder, John Lane

I’m banished to Vermont for a scandal that wasn’t my fault, and broke because my famous father cut me off. And did I mention my roommate stole my boyfriend? Yeah, I’m loving my Moo U experience.

Now I need a job, because this gel manicure won’t upkeep itself. The only available option is the last one I’d ever want - a job as the hockey team’s equipment manager. My plan is to do the bare minimum, get paid, and find my way back into my father’s good graces.

I will not get involved with a hockey player, no matter how hot. They’re cocky. And obnoxious. I know their type, and I’m not willing to risk getting hurt again. Until Lex Vonne glides into my life looking like sin on a stick.

He thinks I’m a spoiled brat.

I think he’s using me to get ahead.

But the fire I feel when we’re together is like a slapshot to my heart....

It’s official, I’m obsessed with Moo U.

It's official, I'm obsessed with Moo U. Rebecca Jenshak absolutely killed it in this second book in the new series from Sarina Bowen's World of True North. And the narrators of the audiobook? Perfection. Perfection to the point of seeking out other books they've each narrated for my next audiobook listens.

If you read Bowen's Heartland, you probably hated Kaitlyn like I did, so Jenshak had her work set out for her in making Kaitlyn likable and the heroine of her own story, but she did a phenomenal job. Kaitlyn starts off as your stereotypical entitled rich girl - kicked out of her last school and exiled to Vermont, cut off from daddy's money, and unfit (or unwilling) to work most of the jobs the college job placement program has available. But throughout the novel, her growth and willingness to embrace hockey, a sport she pretends to despise thanks to her tumultuous relationship with her hockey royalty dad, and the hockey players around her as she takes on her new job as the hockey team's equipment manager really softened my heart towards her. And her relationship with Lex, a hockey hero you can't help but adore, sealed the deal. The way they support each other through their hardships made them an absolutely swoony couple for me and ultimately made this my first five star book of the year.

I was graciously provided an audio ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Hockey drama at its best!

This story packs a punch as a troublesome spoiled rich girl who blew through her daddy’s budget has no choice but to take a dreaded equipment manager job with the MooU hockey team. I was intrigued by the reasoning behind Kaitlyn’s hatred of hockey, empathized with the circumstances of her fractious relationship with her hockey legend father, and her determination to keep the players, especially Lex, at a distance. I loved Lex’s laid back personality, his love of hockey and his teammates, and his uncanny ability at being Kaitlyn’s soft place to fall. There’s plenty of witty banter, emotional complexity, sexual chemistry, and on ice action and the entertaining vocal narration of Emma Wilder and John Lane was a real treat.

Amazing

What a story! Loved all the characters and performers. Do have to say you male narrators better step up your game, this guy is going to give you a run for money!! Wonderfully deep sexy voice, might have to listen to his sections again ... woohoo.

Love it!

How have I not read a Rebecca Jenshak book before this?
Are they all this amazing?

Slapshot is one of those feel good, light, fun romance stories.

I. Just. Seriously? This was good. I enjoyed the banter, the chase, the chemistry. I am always a sucker for a hot hockey guy and the woman who brings him to his knees.

And if you're really feeling frisky, do the audiobook. The narrators NAIL THIS STORY.
Do it.
You know you want to.

Ahh this was not a favorite, I really enjoyed the fact that Kaitlyn finds a job and does it without complaint but that was about all. I am not much of a fan of spoiled and entitled.
She does grow on you by the end but it kinda sucked the fun out it for me at the beginning.
Lex is awesome and I am glad we get to know him.
The narration was the best part.
