The Penalty Box

Vancouver Wolves Hockey Romance Series, Book 3

De: Odette Stone

Narrado por: Madeleine Dauer, Alex Kydd

He's a professional hockey player that lives on the edge. I prefer to play life by the rules.

I'm the personal assistant at a sports agency that no one notices. I don't like sports, and I like professional athletes even less. I'm indifferent to the mostly male clientele, except for one. Mica "the savage" Petrov.

When it comes to wild antics, Mica is the biggest offender of them all. He's reckless, wild, and carelessly charming. I'm mortified that I find him attractive. But it doesn't matter because the guy hasn't taken a second look at me. Not once. In two years.

Mica's career-jeopardizing situation requires drastic measures to be taken to keep him in the game. He's got money, I've got debt, and my boss has a crazy idea. Which is how I found myself stepping up to save him from himself. But at what cost?

How long can I keep fighting my attraction? What ghosts from his past is he brawling with? All I know is that I need to defend my heart before this big defenseman steals it away. Can we win this game? Or is it too late for either of us?

Contains mature themes.

Narration

I don’t mind Alex Judd’s male narration for Mica, but his female narration irritated me. He made her sound like a dits. I read the book before I listened and in no way did she sound weak or whiny, but that is the way she comes off.

The male narrator is killing my vibe

The book great. The female narrator great. The male narrator pretty good until he starts voicing the female lead and then I wish I had just got the kindle version. He manages to make her sound so whiny and obnoxious that I like her so much less than in chapters from the female perspective. It’s a real bummer.

The male performer 👎🏾👎🏾

The male performer made Charlie sound so whiny and the Russian accent hard to hear

Very good.

I loved the story but hated the whiny tone Alex gave Charlie. I will definitely be reading more from Odette.

Wow

Honestly didn’t think it could get better with each book in the story but this has been hands down my absolute favorite of the series!! I would definitely listen to this again!

I was expecting more ☹️

TBH i ate up the first and second books, also this one, but the story and characters development wasn’t as strong as the other ones.
Mika and Charlie voice narrators were doing an amazing job with the Russian accent 🤌🏼

Criminal Minds Meets Hockey Romance

This is a suspense romance with a bit of comedy thrown in for levity. It is a unique take on the fake marriage with a Criminal Minds feel.

So good!

I love that I read Dark Russian Angel before this book. Even though it's not in this series, it has Charlie and Micahs story. You can read it before or after this one. I love how each book plays into the next in each book in this series. I loved Micah's character before this book so I was so excited to hear more about him. Love the twists and excitement at the end. I loved that Charlie wasn't on birth control. Which was different than the other two female characters in the series. Now I want Krista set-up with someone. She is a doll.

I use to be engaged to a man who was from Russia. He had a temper. But he was very possessive and loving (at times). The mom dynamic all felt so real. Especially knowing how my ex's mom was. But this story made me happy. I think Micah and Charlie have been my favorite couple so far.

good story but

I didn't like the very detailed sex scenes. the ending was too short. try using other words except f... pu...co.. and when the guy tried to talk like the girl it was weird.
thanks

such a good story!

OMG my emotions were all over the place! such a good story! I was holding my dog when all the action with Sniper went down and I gasped out loud and squeezed my dog lol he was not thrilled. I'm glad the guardian angel was there for Charlie in the end
