About this listen
USA Today bestselling author Naima Simone heats up the page with intensity and wit in this romance between a pro hockey player and a firefighter, both struggling to move on from the past.
Being a firefighter isn’t easy. Especially for a Black woman. Working with family helps a little. But when somebody from your company doesn’t come back from a call, it’s brutal—as in, “How’m I supposed to go on?” brutal.
And one death took me to a really dark place.
A year later, I’m at the Pirates’ hockey training facility. Just another day on the job. Until I find a charred journal. I look inside for the owner’s name, but the words on the page punch me in the gut. It’s like reading my own thoughts. Reliving my own pain.
The journal belongs to Solomon Young, left-winger for the Pirates—a father and widower. When I return it, I’m racked with guilt for the invasion of privacy. The look Solomon gives me is cold as ice.
But damn if that man isn’t hot as hell.
Now he’s stuck in my brain. And fate seems intent on making us face off.

Story
You've been his for years, and I respected it. Maintained my distance. Kept my silence. My secret. Until that night you came to me, disillusioned, angry and hurt. God help us both, but I crossed my carefully drawn line before you left, disappeared. Now, you're back, and my need for you is a beast that hasn't been fed and has grown hungrier in the years since I've seen you. I remind myself we can't be more than friends, that you're off-limits to me. But it doesn't stop me from secretly craving what can never be mine.

I was ready to open up and share the parts of myself I’d never shared with another, and then I got hit with a truth that changed everything. There was a slight chance he’d still want me, only he had to accept our baby, too.

Hiking, cold weather, and cabins in the woods are not my thing. But when my two best friends beg me to join them for a trip to the mountains, I cave. "It'll be fun," they said. "You need to get out more," they said. Everything was fine until I realized it's all a setup. A weekend-long blind date orchestrated with the help of their boyfriends. To say I'm annoyed is an understatement. But then he shows up, looking like a lot more than a tall glass of milk.

“This touching, funny, sexy novel from Simone is a joy to read and is sure to be popular…” —Library Journal (starred review)
“Naima Simone stuns with this heartwarming romance about a woman firefighter and a hockey player. Solomon and Adina's romance is just the right mixture of humor, angst and heat. An exhilarating literacy experience.” —LJ Shen, Wall Street Journal bestselling author
“Unputdownable. I was either giggling and kicking my feet or feeling my heart squeeze at the poignancy. Maybe the best hockey book I’ve ever read.” —Kenya Goree-Bell, bestselling author

Second chance romance
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Played by Naima Simone is a standalone, single dad, enemies(ish) to lovers, Black love, hockey romance and it brings the dang spice!
Adina is a firefighter. But not just any firefighter. She's a Black woman in a man's world. But she loves what she does and knows she deserves her seat at the table. When she is on a job and discovers a journal in the aftermath of a hockey arena fire, she can't help but read it, only to be consumed by the emotional thoughts written within its pages. She knows she must find the owner of the journal, but finds out it belongs to a hockey player that has lost love. When she goes to return it to the arena, Solomon (said owner of the journal) is immediately unkind to Adina and says some pretty hurtful things to her thinking the absolutely worst of her intentions. And this was only the beginning of his grumpy self coming to some pretty harsh conclusions that were so far from the truth. But both of these characters had pasts and they come out to play throughout the story.
First of all, I have to say that I liked Adina right away. I wasn't sure what her story was, but I liked seeing a woman that can succeed in a male dominated field. She had a good family and a good friend that really supported her. But Solomon? He was a whole other story. I knew he had lost his wife and that played into his character and his actions, but it gave him no right to treat Adina the way he did initially. Luckily, he saw the light thanks to his son. I loved how he interacted and connected with his son, but I felt some sort of way for him and his relationship he had with his in-laws. They seemed to control his life in ways that he wasn't even aware of. You could feel his inner battle and I liked how that came across when we heard his POV. His words and thoughts differed and you could feel him battling his feelings that he thought he shouldn't be. Because the way he thought about Adina was absolutely sinful (in the best way).
Played is told in dual POV and if you're an audiobook listener like myself, I would 100% recommend listening to this book. Both the narrators, La'Rey Aris and Sean Bassett were phenomenal. Sean's voice was like butter and had me swooning for Solomon, even when he was Mr Grumpy. And Adina's character had that slight New Englander accent that came through and really brought her character to life. They both gave off sexy vibes and I was here for it.
I loved the audio and I really enjoyed the journey these two characters went on to find themselves again. Even though Adina seemed to be strong, she still had something to contend with in the firehouse. And even though Solomon thought he had no room for love again, there was no doubt that he had chemistry with Adina. They had some hurdles to overcome and we got to see that as well as some sexy AF 'bedroom scenes' that leaves no room for interpretation that these two exploded in that area of their lives. The one thing I wanted more of? Adina and Solomon as an actual couple. We got the Happy For Now story, but I really needed a little more couple time.
All in all, this was an enjoyable listen with some good characters. It was light on hockey, but I was here for the relationship and two characters coming together after loss.
Great performances that made me fall
