About this listen
Reid doesn’t utter a word when he stops within two feet of me, even taller and more intimidating than yesterday because I think being on the ice is his superpower, and he looks like he can do anything on it.
My life takes an unexpected turn when I meet Reid "The Reaper" Pierce- the grumpy enforcer for the New Brunswick Wolverines.
When the gorgeous hockey bad boy is slapped with a fifteen-game suspension, he is forced to rebuild his tarnished image.
Reid reluctantly becomes an assistant coach for a youth hockey team.
A challenge, to say the least, for the broody, alpha left winger, given his lack of kid-friendly skills.
Enter me: Hollyn Mayfield.
I'm sunshine with a dash of nerdiness and a touch of self-consciousness.
I find myself thrust into the role of the other assistant coach.
My expertise? Mostly handing out juice boxes and snacks to kids during practice.
An unlikely duo, we strike a deal.
I'll help him ease up on the kids, reducing post-practice tears and parent complaints.
In return, he'll assist me in scoring a date with my crush, the head coach Weston Higgins.
Weston, as Reid points out, is a B-class wannabe.
Despite this, I remain determined to snag that date.
Reid agrees to teach me about hockey, hoping it will help me connect with Weston.
Along the way, though, he might want to keep me with his jersey number on my back.
Falling for the Pucking Grump is a Grumpy/Sunshine, Guy Falls First, Hockey Romance. This is Book 1 in the standalone series New Brunswick Wolverines.

After my dad's team, the Montreal Blizzard, took a brutal loss, we headed to our usual bar to drown our sorrows. Enter Judson "Killer" Wells, a hot-headed right-winger from our rival team—the New Brunswick Wolverines.

But when the sexiest woman he's ever seen interrupts his early morning coffee wearing only a skimpy cami and matching panties, Marc can't exactly say that he minds. Their chemistry is off the charts.

I didn't expect the hot stranger who helped me face my ex to end up being an NHL player and be interested in me. I really didn't expect his two teammates to also be interested in me. These men look at me like I'm everything they've ever dreamed of. Now I have all three men wanting my attention. And I want them all. Unfortunately, it might not be that simple. When it comes down to it, the hot nights, whispered words, and strong emotions might not be enough. I just hope that at the end of it all it will have been worth it.

When he's sent by his editor at Cocky to interview the newly out hockey legend Danny Harper, though, he gets a little more than he bargained for. Eliot has been stuck writing a men's fashion and grooming column that no one reads since he started at Cocky - a men's lifestyle magazine - a year ago. Desperate to prove himself, he takes the assignment to interview Harper, even though he couldn't necessarily hold a hockey stick the right way up in an emergency.

I've never been in love. I've never had an orgasm, but I've faked plenty. I want to experience love. Real, passionate love. I don't want to die. It's funny what blurts out of your mouth when the plane you're on is going down, and I didn't hold back with my seat mate when my plane decided to crash. My hysterical confessions didn't faze the muscular stranger that sat beside me. In fact, he promised if we survived, he'd give me my first orgasm.

Terrible narration
The story was decent but the AI narration ruined it for me. I've listened to other audiobooks with AI narration that were okay but this one is the worst. No distinction between character voices, close to monotone in parts. It really brought the experience down.
