Sweet and Passionate

This is one steamy hockey romance. Dmitri and Erin share a slow-burn romance with a lot of push and pull and undeniable chemistry. Their story is heartfelt with sweet moments and lots of steam. I loved the way their relationship developed. This is such a good read. I highly recommend.


Shane Martinez and Jaxon Jensen did a wonderful job bringing these characters to life. Jaxon did a great job capturing Dmitri emotions and I loved his Russian accent.

Dmitri is such an amazing MMC!

I loved Dmitri and Erin's story! I loved their dynamic. And their connection. I loved how Erin connected with Dmitri's daughter as well. Their story was filled with amazing connections, and some great character growth as well...

I loved Shane Martinez's narration. Jaxon Jensen also did a good job, but his audio was very tinny/echo-y which distracted from his POV quite a bit. Also, while Jaxon's russian accent was great, it was limited to actual dialogue only, and not to the full POV, which was also slightly disappointing.

Overall a great story, and a fun listen...

hockey romance read

A well written and dual narrated hockey romance read. Our main characters hockey defender, and single dad Dmitri and hockey captain's baby sister Erin. There is an instant attraction between these two but dating a player's baby sister is more off limits than most anything but when Dmitri finds himself in a bind needing someone to take care of his lil girl, a favor is asked and Erin steps in as a temporary solution. Only the close quarters make the attraction undeniable to them both and obvious to everyone. A sweet and steamy romance with all the back and forth of a couple trying to have it all and thinking they know what the other is thinking and feeling without the communication. A HEA is had which was well done and a lead up to another couple finding love is teased at the end of this one. Overall, I very much enjoyed the storyline, characters and narration and would love to listen to more!

Falling in love wasn’t supposed to happen

He’s her brother’s best friend. She’s his daughter’s nanny. Falling in love was never part of the play.

The Pucking Arrangement brings all the heat, heart, and emotional tension you crave in a slow-burn sports romance. Dmitri Solokov is a widowed Russian hockey player and devoted single dad just trying to keep his life on track—until Erin, his teammate’s younger sister and a talented cellist, becomes his daughter’s live-in nanny. What starts as a favor turns into something dangerously magnetic.

The chemistry between Dmitri and Erin is off the charts—charged with stolen glances, lingering touches, and a growing emotional pull neither can ignore. Erin is bright, sassy, and utterly refreshing, while Dmitri is brooding, protective, and unexpectedly tender. Their love story unfolds like a symphony, full of tension, longing, and explosive release—while skating the thin line of loyalty and desire under her brother’s watchful eye.

With steamy moments, heartfelt depth, and a perfect blend of hockey grit and musical soul, this book is impossible to put down. A total win for fans of forbidden love, single dad heroes, and slow burns that burn. A must-read for hockey romance fans!

Music out of silence

I love the narration of this book. But when I think of Demitri I think of a deep rich Russian accent. I enjoyed listening to this book. I absolutely loved this book. I fell in love with Demetri in the other books in this series. He is quiet and broody but he is all heart. His daughter Ris is the cutest little person. Erin fit this family perfectly . This book is well written the characters are very believable. The emotional connection between the characters are perfect. I laughed at Liam’s reaction to his sister and Dimitri. There are many moments where the emotional angst is very palpable. The only thing that could have made this story better is a marriage proposal or a bun in the oven but in my minds eye those events will happen. I would give this book more than 5 stars if possible.

Hockey romance

The Pucking Arrangement by A. J. Summers is an excellent sport romance. Shane Martinez and Jaxon Jensen did an excellent job with the narration.

Erin is the captain’s baby sister who agrees to watch Dmitri daughter. Dmitri keeps telling himself Erin is off limits. But things don’t work out that way.

Dimitri’s voice? Hotter. The narration? Flawless. The tension? Still absolutely maddening. I could listen to this again and again.
