Harris, Fiona, and Lucas

Story: Harris (H36) is a veteran hockey player struggling with his career's decline and considering retirement. Five years ago, Harris had a one-night stand with Fiona (h), a night that changed both their lives. Harris never found Fiona again and never forgot about their intense night, and she likewise never forgot him, especially since she was left with a little reminder of that night—their son, Lucas. Fiona has raised Lucas as a single mother, never telling Harris about his existence. But when Lucas, now five years old, overhears that his father is a famous hockey player, he becomes determined to meet him, and when they do meet, Harris quickly realizes that Lucas is indeed his child and immediately embraces his role as a dad. Their family night at the hotel is so sweet and Harris just seems like he's so natural for being a parent. Love how Harris has found a new purpose in his life - the joy of family, inspiring him even on the ice. Harris and Fiona reconnect, and things quickly heat up between them. Sweet and spicy second chance, hockey romance with plenty of love and family.

Audio: The narrators did a really great job with this story and made for an entertaining audio version of a story I've previously read. The audiobook uses a male narrator and a female narrator – I always appreciate when an author goes for the additional costs of having two narrators in a duet style. Narrators Oliver Clarke and Brooklyn Young both do a great job with the tone and voice that they bring to Harris, Fiona, and other characters. I've enjoyed the variety of authors being used throughout the series with different narrators used for each book. The audio quality is good and there were no issues.

Good story - Fiona and Harris

I really enjoy Ms. Turner's writing. This was a really good book about a 36 year old hockey player and his one-night stand that produced a child. He does not learn about the child until five years later. The reunion with Fiona and his child Lucas was great. I love how he accepted the child and Fiona into his life. I also love how neither of them was with anyone else during their time apart. This book had a really nice HEA.
Oliver Clarke and Brooklyn Young did a great job with the narration. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Great book

This was a quick second chance romance. Fiona and Harris has one night together that made an impact for both. Fiona walked away with a gift while Harris was left looking everywhere for the woman he can't stop thinking about. These two were sweet and wonderful together and they finally get an HEA they both needed. Oliver Clarke and Brooklyn Young did a wonderful job being this book to life. I though Oliver did a awesome job with the grumpy growly Harris.

Another great audiobook

Another great listen in this series. Loved the narrators and the story itself.

Harris is the veteran player for the San Antonio Hyenas and five years ago he had one night with his One Fiona, but she left and never contacted him again. He searched for her but never found her. Until one night he meets Fiona again, but she is not alone. He now has his woman back and a beautiful son too. He won't stop making Fiona his and nothing and nobody can stop him from claiming them. Instalove(5 years ago), second chance, sweet, romantic, steamy and safe (were both celibate while being separated) with an awesome HEA 😍😍😍😍😍
Harris was such a sweet and loving guy that wasn't even mad she hid his son. Such a saint 🥰But I was for his sake 😳 I think Fiona should have grovelled a little bit , but that's just me 😉

The veteran

Audiobook review.

Harris Sutton is experiencing 4 loses in the game year and the sport critics are not holding back their thoughts. The following day after practice he meets a young fan who was standing in the rain waiting for him. He explained his father is a huge fan and would he mind coming which then gives him the mindset to do better in the up coming game. Oh no it doesn’t. He thinks of that one night 5 years ago he met his dream girl in Kansas City. Fiona has a young son named Lucas. He overhears that Harris is his Dad and wants to know more about him. After he is asleep she wants to get clarity and drinks her wine. She reflects on her past thoughts and regrets not telling him now. Because her son wants to know Lucas. So she sees an oppprtunity to see him and tell the truth at a charity event. There the truth spills out and old feeling re-emerge. Harris doesn’t want to loose her again. But he has to go back to San Antonio for a game. But they make arrangements to see each other again. Not wanting her son to get his hope to up. But this seasoned player knows what he wants and will do anything to get it. Loved the 2nd chance to short of a book..
