Hockey Coach & Player Hotness

Revisado: 04-15-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This second book in Christie Gordon's Desert Ice Hockey series is another good one. We're back with the college puck boys of ASU, focusing this time on player Jonah and new defensive coach Ryan. Jonah is entering his senior year on the team with eyes towards either the NHL or medical school. But he's hit right up side the head with fate with his first glimpse of Ryan as he introduced to the team. Jonah is all in right there no matter what. Ryan is struggling with the long-term illness of his mother and the recent break up of his first and only relationship. He just knows that getting involved with a player on his team is the worst idea ever, but he just can't stop himself and neither can Jonah. Their fragile relationship is threatened to be exposed by a vindictive ex who has become Ryan's stalker. There's hurt/comfort, age gap, hockey, and instalove to savor in this book. And, as always, Finley Cole is a fantastic narrator. I especially love the Canadian accent for Ryan. The MCs are very sweet together and I can't wait to read the rest of this series.

Great Series Starter

Revisado: 02-10-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This is the first book in Christie Gordon's Desert Ice series that connects to her Rock U series. Archer is an ASU hockey player looking for some validation from his dad and his first long-term relationship. Leo is a nerdy numbers guy keeping a large part of himself secret from his friends and family. But when he meets Archer while volunteering at a local animal shelter, the dam is broken and he can't hold back his feelings. They have instalove chemistry and the steam starts pretty early. There is also a lot of affection and care taking which I really like. And of course, Finley Cole just kills it in the narrating. Excellent use of accents, and I especially like the Minnesota one. Great start to the series.

The Continuing Loves of Knot Me

Revisado: 10-29-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

We're back with the boys of Knot Me and their loves. Milo, the band's keyboardist, has been in love with his best friend Ryder since the 4th grade. He's never told Ryder but the feelings have to come out when Ryder moves back to Tempe to take a new firefighter position in the area. Ryder has recently hooked up with a man for the first time and realizes that he's also having feelings for Milo. This is really a story about the support of found family and the growth of love between friends. The MCs have great spicy chemistry and they are also sweet to one another. I appreciate that Milo is the more dominate partner with Ryder, it's a fun juxtaposition. The narration is really good and I can't wait to listen to the rest of the series.

Good first time/bodyguard romance

Revisado: 09-24-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Another fun entry in the Rock U series. In this installment we’re learning the story of Gabe and Jeremy. Gabe is a law student and drummer for the popular cover band Knot Me. When his father receives vague threats tied to a lawsuit he is involved in, he hires a bodyguard for Gabe. Jeremy is an employee at the law firm, waiting to start his own legal education. He has training as a bodyguard and so seems like a perfect fit for the assignment. Gabe is openly gay to everyone except his father and is worried that Jeremy will out him. But in reality Jeremy falls head over heels for Gabe. There’s intrigue, fun interactions between the band members, and spice galore. I always enjoy the narration in these books and would recommend.

Silas & Cash's Story <3

Revisado: 08-07-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

We're back to Rock U with the story of Silas and Cash. Silas is still dealing with the effects of the mall shooting and his disaster of a relationship with Mia. Cash stumbles into his life with his happy energy and gorgeous looks. They fall deep and hard despite their best efforts. I love revisiting this group of guys and their guys from Knot Me. All the couples are so sweet and hot, including Cash and Silas. They have a very supportive relationship and I appreciate that there is no miscommunication or third act break up tropes. Finley Cole's narration is excellent as well.

Professor/Student Age Gap Romance

Revisado: 07-12-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I really enjoyed this audio edition of the 3rd book in the Rock U universe. We are back with Caleb, the bassist for Knot Me and a computer science student at ASU. When the guys all travel to Mexico to decompress after the shooting that happened in book 2, Caleb is still struggling with the aftermath. He has nightmares and feels like he failed Axel and Silas. But then he meets their hot beach house neighbor Eric. They have instant chemistry and Caleb has discovered that he feels safe with Eric. But Eric is in the middle of changing careers and will be starting as a professor in Caleb's program which makes their deepening relationship an almost impossibility. Once back in Arizona they cannot deny the depth of their feelings and decide to proceed with the relationship despite the roadblocks that include university HR rules and a vindictive ex-lover. I love the friendships that are a hallmark of this series. They are all so supportive of each other. I also like the level of spice that the couples have. Caleb and Eric are hot together from the get go and it is only enhanced with Finley Cole's narration. Can't wait to hear more from this collaboration.

Great Listen

It was narrated well and I liked the inclusion of the old English version. Paired well with watching The Green Knight movie.

Pedro Pascal does a great job with differentiating the character voices. Spooky story. Good music references.
