The Pucking Wrong Rookie

The Pucking Wrong Series, Book 5

By: C.R. Jane

Narrated by: Troy Duran, Alexis Paige

A rookie plays for keeps in this darkly seductive hockey romance from the USA Today-bestselling author of The Wrong Quarterback.

"You're going to fall in love with me. It's only a matter of time."

Trapped in a life she never wanted, Sloane is subject to the whims of rich, powerful men. She survives by playing the part, but inside she feels nothing. Because having feelings is dangerous. She's managed to stay numb for so long . . . until a rookie hockey player spots her and turns her whole world upside down.

When Logan York pulls Sloane into his arms after the first game of the Stanley Cup Finals, the crowd goes wild. But what's wilder is the way Sloane finds herself kissing him back. Logan's relentless pursuit has her feeling reckless and out of control, and she can't afford to be careless.

She refuses to date him, but Logan's not taking no for an answer. He needs Sloane to be his forever, and when he learns what kind of life she's been living he's determined to save her—even if it means hiring her for himself.

Sloane tells herself it's just another job, that Logan is just another client. But a client has never wanted her for anything more than her body before. And Logan will break every rule to get Sloane's heart in the game.

Toxic masculinity

Loved how they just took charge and made life easier for their partners. The scenes are hot.

Logan York! Rookie of the YEAR!

Troy Duran and Alexis Paige deliver an incredible performance AGAIN! They have owned this series, and have made it one of my favorites ever! I will forever recommend this series because of them! & their performances!

Mkay, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about Logan, but he won me over REAL QUICK!

If you've read this series, you know all of the women have incredibly sad/twisted childhoods, but Sloane's may be the most twisted! My heart ached for her, and how resigned she was to how her life was.

All of the men are unhinged for their women, & love them in ways that only the COT can, but I adored how Logan loved Sloane! He would go to the ends of the Earth for her, and then some! He was hilarious as well, but he truly loved her so well!

PS: Geraldine better "live" forever! She is so frikkin hilarious and I love her almost as much as I love these men hahaha!

Rookie & Sloane 💖

This one was good! I did enjoy what I read, but this didn’t give me the same vibes that I was getting from the first few in the series, and I think that kinda killed my mood. Rookie is a little on the lighter side, and was wanting unhinged like LD and AL. 😂

I did really enjoy the audio! That was a lot of fun to listen to. 🙂‍↔️

Dark story

This book was a a very dark story and frankly too dark for me.. Troy Duran is great as a narrator .

Banter, wit and story

CR Jane with her OTT athletes never disappoint and The Rookie Logan doesn’t either! Great banter with the COT, the found family and bringing new characters into the fold. Already excited for the next stories to arrive! CR keeps her readers in the story til the end. Great narrators who truly bring the characters to life!
