Sticks and Stones

Shadow Valley U, Book 1

By: S. Massery, SJ Sylvis

Narrated by: Alex Kydd, Kiera Stevens

A college hockey romance from bestselling authors S. Massery and S.J. Sylvis.

Sticks and stones may break our bones…Hockey is my life.

After Wren Davis puts my dreams of the NHL in jeopardy, I vow to make her life hell if she ever comes near me again.

But she’s my best friend’s foster sister, and even though they don’t live together anymore, their bond is still tight, which makes avoiding each other extra difficult.

Especially when I show up at Shadow Valley University and learn my new room comes with an unwelcome addition: Wren Davis.

As much as I try to make her life hell, she gives it right back, until she’s not just under my skin but constantly on my mind.

But some things can’t be forgiven, and fraternizing with the enemy is the last thing either of us want.

Love

I loved the story and the narrators. It kept me entertained and invested. I love how protective Stone becomes. He cares so much.

Immediate yes!

The fact that two of my all time favorite authors, immediate one click yeses, came together a co-wrote a book has been news of the year for me. Pair that with the fact that its a one- bed, bully, hockey romance? I cannot even begin to describe the anticipation I had leading up to this. S. Massery and SJ Sylvis AS ALWAYS, did not disappoint!!! One of my top reads of the year. Wren Davis was an absolute WARRIOR, a true survivor in every aspect of the word and I adored her character. Stone Foster has already become my entire personality for the rest of the year. I have never h@te/loved a MMC so much. The. CHARACTER. ARC. THOUGH. Obsessed. He is possessive, obsessive, protective, harsh, rude, crude, and beyond delectable. The swoon factor when he finally gives in to his attraction to Wren is just other worldly. I loved every second of this book. I also geeked at the cameos by our favorite Bexley and CPU boys. It's always good to see familiar faces. ;) Kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end and I could not read it fast enough. Alex Kydd is one of my absolute favorite narrators and I can’t imagine anyone else bringing Stone to life. Raving, loved it. 10/5 stars!! You do NOT want to miss this one.
