Publisher's summary

From the outside, I live a charmed life: hockey legend for a father, my own promising future in the league, a great family, awesome friends. It’s not untrue, but it’s not quite that simple either. My dad’s advice has always been to make hockey my number-one priority—at least until I make it to the pros.

So going into my senior year of college, I have a plan. I’ll put in the effort required to pass my classes, play hockey like my life depends on it, and avoid relationships. All I have to do is stay focused on the end game. It should be easy.

But when a woman literally floats into my dock, just before summer ends and my senior year begins, I can’t resist one last hookup. What harm could a one-night stand do? It’s not like we even exchanged numbers. Everything is fine until I run into her on campus. It’s a big school. I should be able to avoid her. Except she happens to be in my class. And she’s not a student. She’s my professor.

Great reverse age gap story!

Another great story by Helena Hunting. Reverse Age Gap has become of on my absolute favorite tropes. Clover and Maverick are Hot! Excellent narration by Andi Arndt & Zachary Webber.

Mav & Clover😍

After reading Little Lies I couldn't wait for Maverick's book. Helena did not disappoint, this book was truly amazing!! Maverick has been battling has demons since he was a child feeling guilty at what happened with has sister Lavender. He meets Clover over the summer and they connect for 1 night. However when he returns to school he finds out she is his professor. Can you say awkward? lol. These two have some ups and downs and a little soul searching. With the obstacles the 2 face can their love survive? You will have to read, or listen, to find out!!!

Lovely age-gap romance

This book is about Maverick, the son of Alex and Violet Waters. Raised in a world of hockey, he meets and hooks up with an older woman while on summer vacation from college. Once he’s back in class he realizes that she’s his professor.
She tries to rebuff him but he’s gently persistent because of the strength of their connection.

Great narrators!

4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🎧

I knew this was probably going to have a lot of drama because the first one in this series was full of it. But I was pleasantly surprised. This did have some of the drama but in a very different way.

Maverick has an incredible night with a woman, and they go their own way, only for that woman to surprise him and become his professor.

Clover is subbing in for a professor she did not expect to see the man she had an incredible night with.

They have to keep it professional even when it's hard.
I loved this dynamic! I liked that she was older. His mother was a peach.
It's great to listen either way.

This book was good. Maverick is swoon worthy for sure! I also liked Clover. However, I didn’t really fall in love with their love story. Something about their romance wasn’t romantic (enough for me at least). Maybe it was because their romance was in a bubble that was carefully constructed for the most part. I’m not really sure. However, I totally understood the conflict for Clover. Maybe their relationship did at times feel out of balance also because he wasn’t about to confide in anyone while she had at least one person to confide in. 🤷🏽‍♀️. Anyways, some points that I loved:
* BJ. He was hilarious with his sleeping but I guess not fully because he somehow managed to fully pick up on conversations and other things while he looked like he was passed out in the arm chair. He was also surprisingly insightful.
* The conversation between Maverick and his parents (mainly Violet) when they find out he’s been sleeping with his professor. I could not stop laughing at Violets tangent. It was hilarious. Side note: I didn’t really care for Violet in the Pucked series, but she is really good in this series. It was also hilarious in the previous book how she set up catfish social media accounts to stalk her kids.

P.s. I wish River would get his own book. Just putting that out there.

All the feels

This story is an incredible journey. The male character has some high anxiety on different topics and it's just an incredible journey to listen to this story. The female character of course is also going through her own journey The way these 2 collide is quite incredible this is an age gap story but I don't almost feel like it's not an age gap as the male character such an old soul at heart. Lots of emotion lots of steam definitely worth the listen the narrators did an excellent job of bringing the story to life it was definitely one that I could not stop listening to.

4.5 STARS! A heart-wrenching, heat-filled reverse age gap forbidden romance!

A reverse age-gap romance, Bitter Sweet Heart by Helena Hunting writing as H. Hunting was an engrossing blend of angst and steam. Hunting’s spin on the student teacher romance kept my Air Pods in my ears from start-to-finish. I listened to the audio, narrated by the powerhouse duo of Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber. Their performances were on point, perfectly bringing Clover and Maverick’s forbidden romance to life in my ears. A dash of suspense, genuinely heart-wrenching emotions and all of those delicious will-they-or-won’t-they, push and pull vibes made this a story I was wholly invested in from start to finish.

Maverick was definitely mature for his age, but this guy had a lot on his plate, and his super sexy professor and the hockey player romance with Clover was heart-racing, heat-filled and full of the highs and lows of a complex, complicated love story.

Bitter Sweet Heart had a bit of a coming-of-age feel to the romance and was jam packed full of feels. An emotional and poignant love story, I adored Clover and Maverick’s romance and can’t wait for more from these second-generation characters. Bitter Sweet Heart by H. Hunting gets 4.5 smooches from me!
