Summer Skate

By: Sean Avery, Leslie Cohen

Narrated by: Sean Avery, Emily Tremaine

A novelist with a rebellious streak and a bad habit of turning men into material. A hockey player with a dark past . . . and a shot at stardom that he just might blow.

A summer vacation that heats up with a forbidden attraction strong enough to burn their neighboring Hamptons houses to the ground.

Summer has begun on the East End of Long Island and bestselling author Jessica Riley finds herself unable to deliver on her highly anticipated second book. Her children are demanding. Her husband is preoccupied. With a deadline looming, she fakes a mental breakdown to get away . . . only to find that the house next door is filled with rowdy hockey players.

One of those players is Carter Hughes, a soon-to-be rookie on the New York Rangers, and in Carter and his friends, Jessica discovers a treasure trove of material for her next book. But she quickly finds herself in over her head, as her connection with Carter spirals out of control and his behavior becomes more erratic. Meanwhile, as Carter mixes with the power scene in the Hamptons, one false move could turn what was supposed to be a summer of training and good times into a game he can’t afford to play.

Sexy and addictive, Summer Skate is the sun on your skin in a string bikini. It’s the sound of skates cutting across the ice of a hockey rink, chasing victory. It’s an answer to the question: How bad do you want it?

Great Read

Would of liked a few more consequences for Jessica. Regardless going to need some more. Thanks.

Hockey life

I love a rom com but it was definitely just a typical on and I really wish there was a better ending

Very entertaining

Love the story characters the narrators were both really good. It was super easy to listen to and I really enjoyed. It wasn't sure about the ending. Left me questioning. Perhaps there's going to be a sequel. I'd be curious to find out what happened.

Unbelievable

Sean & Leslie! I think you found it with this one!!! Keep up the GREAT work! Love it Hockey, Hampton’s and Humping congrats on your continued success

Great Read!

I bought this book out of curiosity. I was familiar with Mr Avery’s work on the ice which did not make me think of romance beach reads. When I saw Ms Cohen’s name I thought she probably wrote the book. I owe Sean an apology. This is not the case. Summer Skate is a Hamptons romance told from the perspective of each of the parties involved. What makes this book great is that it is indeed written by two writers. That made it great. By default, the book is told in two very distinct voices. Avery and Cohen can focus on the story because their voices are already distinct. This added a realism for which I was not prepared. I am a writer and Cohen commented on things that only a writer would know. I am also a man and Avery reflected in ways only a man could. I loved it. Read this book.

Their conversations are rather simple but each word has substance and meaning which explains why their attraction goes so deep.

I love how Sean Avery incorporates some of his real life into his character. As a married woman I can easily relate to what Jessica is going through. Is it okay to cheat? No but sometimes you just can’t help it and in my case it was meant to be. Still together for 25 years!

They gave up

The beginning was interesting then they seemed to have run out of ideas and went the soft porn route to finish the book.
