About this audiobook

Lucky.

The one adjective used to describe my entire hockey career. I prefer to call it hard work, at least I did until my game went to complete crap. I haven’t scored in eight games and the team owner is talking about trading me.

I’ve never believed in superstitions. Never needed one. I suppose I was “lucky” in that way. But now the best way to refer to me is desperate. I’d wear the same socks for an entire year just to be the high-scoring center I used to be.

Imagine my surprise when after spending New Year’s Eve with a woman, I score a hat trick in the next game—that’s three goals in one game for you non-hockey lovers. Now, I have to track her down and bribe her to do it again before every game. Get your mind out of the gutter, I’m not talking about it.

I find her and when I get to know her better, I end up spending more time thinking about her than my game, but she’s made it clear she wants no part of me. She’s going to learn that I didn’t become a professional hockey player without having to fight for what I want.

Ratings and reviews

Rating: 4.5 Stars Aiden is frustrated with his current situation. He’s in a business where you can be up one day and down or out the next. Saige is at her office when she gets a rather big surprise. And if you read the story then you’ll see that she gives someone else a surprise. If you’re a sports romance fan then this book may find its way into your library. Our authors always have a way of creating something special between their characters. It also seems like the readers get to be a spectator as to what is going on – both on the ice and off. They make secondary characters as interesting as the first and will leave you looking forward to seeing more of them. These two are a great pair and one I always look forward to what they have created. Ms. Peachwood is great in helping me understand who the characters are from Saige’s point of view. Mr. Clarke does the same with those characters from Aiden’s point of view. They also do a great job in creating tension and heat between our couple. They are the reason why I liked this version just a little bit more than the book. Our narrators got me to laugh when one was needed as well as shake my head when I see an unbelievable moment. They also made me sad when the book came to an end. I also fell in love with a secondary character named Tedi. She’s both a good friend and a voice of reason. I’m left looking forward to the next book since this is only book one of the Hockey Hotties series. I’m also looking forward to what other narrators may be coming to bring the series to life. I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Aiden is the captain of the Florida Fury who is close to his family and a loyal teammate. His hockey game has been off and with the trade deadline approaching he needs to turn it around but he didn’t expect that the impetus would start at a New Years Eve party when he is doused with white wine by a woman he can’t forget. Saige has created a business helping athletes manage their social media accounts so she understands that the mental aspect is just as important as the physical. She doesn’t believe that dousing Aiden with wine before every game is necessary but there is no questioning the results. What starts out as an arrangement becomes a friendship and so much more but balancing the demands of their careers and each other may be the biggest challenge of all. Saige has been hurt in the past so she puts up roadblocks between them however Aiden is willing to accept whatever she will give him. He is patient and understanding as he breaks through her walls and although he had a misstep along the way he proved that she was the one thing in life he couldn’t live without. I listened to an audiocopy of the book and thought the narrators did a great job of bringing the characters and their story to life.

This is the first book in the Hockey Hotties Series, a Sports Romance. I loved it! The story is beautifully written, funny, sweet, and sexy. Aiden and Saige are sweet characters. They are perfect together. The supporting characters are great. Jason Clark and Savannah Peachwood did an excellent job with the narration. This is a great start to this new series. Looking forward for more of these Hockey Hotties!
