The Puck Drop

Central State

By: Jaqueline Snowe

Narrated by: Alex Mortensen, Louise Brenner

Michael Reiner has the new start he's been craving, where no one knows about his past. He can't play hockey anymore, and life without hockey seems daunting. But when he gets the chance to intern under the Central State hockey coach, he couldn't be happier. Until he finds out the mysterious hottie he met at the bar is the coach's daughter.

Naomi Fletcher-Simpson has always been the weird twin. She prefers spreadsheets and trivia nights while her popular sister is everyone's favorite. Things have been tense in her family, so when she gets a chance to pair up with the hockey team for a huge stats project, she takes it. She can repair her relationship with her dad and hopefully score her dream internship in the process.

Although they're complete opposites, Michael and Naomi slowly form a friendship that makes their chemistry sizzle, and friends with benefits is the only option to deal with their growing attraction. Michael can't afford to lose the internship, and Naomi can't afford to lose her heart.

For the guy who's suffered enough loss, and the girl who's always left behind, they can't risk falling in love—not when they both know all things come to an end, right?

Contains mature themes.

Yay Michael got his book

I loved the Moo U Series: Holdout by Jaqueline Snowe. I remember reading it and wanting Ryan’s brother Michael to have a book. I went into this book blind not knowing they were connected. It’s a slow burn the story has depth the character development is great. I love books that focus on the inner worlds of characters and the connection between characters.

This book and the narrators were great!

This book was great. I loved the relationship between Michael and Naomi. I loved how they supported each other and helped each other grow! I loved seeing how Michael was doing after Holdout. Im excited to read the next book in this series!

The audiobook narration was great! The narrators did a wonderful job bringing this book and their characters to life! Alex Mortensen and Louise Brenner were great! I would highly recommend this book and audiobook!

Slow

I could have lived without the sister. The book was pretty slow. Nothing exciting to really grab my attention.
