Time to Shine

By: Rachel Reid

Narrated by: Cooper North

From the New York Times bestselling author of Heated Rivalry comes a merry and bright hockey romance about finding your place, finding your people and finding your way back to the one you love the most.

"Rachel Reid's hockey heroes are sexy, hot, and passionate!" —#1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely

For Landon Stackhouse, being called up from the Calgary farm team is exciting and terrifying, even if, as the backup goalie, he rarely leaves the bench. A quiet loner by nature, Landon knows he gives off strong “don’t talk to me” vibes. The only player who doesn’t seem to notice is Calgary’s superstar young winger, Casey Hicks.

Casey treats Landon like an old friend, even though they’ve only interacted briefly in the past. He’s endlessly charming and completely laid-back in a way that Landon absolutely can’t relate to. They couldn’t have less in common, but Landon needs a place to live that’s not a hotel room and Casey has just bought a massive house—and hates being alone.

As roommates, Casey refuses to be defeated by Landon’s one-word answers. As friends, Landon comes to notice a few things about Casey, like his wide, easy smile and sparkling green-blue eyes. Spending the holidays together only intensifies their bromance-turned-romance. But as the new year approaches, the countdown to the end of Landon’s time in Calgary is on.

Good story, great performance

I liked both main characters (in very different ways) and happily went along on their growth arcs. The story is fun and engaging. I’m filled with admiration for Cooper North’s performance. Masterful, nuanced, flowing, with empathy for all the characters and their perspectives. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Put such a smile on my face!

Lovely romance with two sweet, kind characters. They were so pure. Slow burn and the sexy times were really satisfying.

Beautiful Story

Firstly, there isn't a story by Rachel Reid that I won't devour the moment it becomes available. This was beautifully written and the MC both relatable and likable. This is the perfect example that intimacy in romance comes in all forms.
Secondly, the narrator did a very good job giving the multitude of characters their own accent/tone.
Well worth the credit and I know I'll be listening to it again in the future.

Adored!

Cooper does such a great job. He’s so good at distinguishing between character voices. Landon was so stoic while Casey was more chaotic and fun and those traits came through in Cooper’s narration. I read the book when it was first released but just now got to listen to it. I don’t remember crying when I read it but I cried when listening. Cooper is so great at both happy and sad parts of the stories he does. Great story and great narration by Cooper.
