Publisher's summary

My name is Nova Stone and I was a ghost in my own life until a knock at the door changed my whole world.

Applying for guardianship of my infant half-brother was a no brainer, even if I hadn't known he existed. But that was before I met his uncles; two pro ice hockey players, and a CEO. They wanted to take Huey home with them and they were willing to pay me millions of dollars for the privilege.

When that didn't work, they managed to convince me that it would be better for my brother–and for me–if I moved into their Ann Arbor mansion. At first, I said hell no. I'd listened to true crime podcasts. I'd read the newspaper articles. But a week of sleepless nights and emotional breakdowns later, I relented.

They were helpful, I'd give them that. But they were also hot, and that was a problem. River with his brooding intensity, he was as huge as you'd picture an NHL enforcer to be. His foster brother Devan, who was mysterious and standoffish, and their best friend Rigby, the literal embodiment of a golden retriever in the body of a 6'2 pro athlete.

But I had to do what was right for Huey, and anyway, how could I ever choose? And I had to choose...right?

Sticks and Stone is the first book in a series of interconnected standalone stories. It is a Why Choose novel and may contain topics that are difficult for some listeners.

Sweet love story

I found this book just meh. It wasn’t necessarily boring but just not gripping or adventurous. I loved the aspect of joint parenting and that all the characters just wanted to be a part of Huey’s life. I found each male character endearing and the FMC seemed kind of weak. (Or it could’ve just been the female narrator that made her seem that way). However she did everything she could for the sake of the baby which I liked.
Narration was good. The female narrator annoyed me a bit with her soft, bland tone.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
