About This Audiobook

*Forbidden Puck* isn’t just another sports romance—it’s a masterclass in slow-burn tension wrapped in a world of elite hockey and even more elite interior design. June Winters delivers a heroine in Ella Couture who’s refreshingly pragmatic: a woman who’s built her own success and refuses to settle, even when her love life feels like a string of bad renovations. The chemistry with the book’s brooding hockey star isn’t just physical; it’s a clash of ambition, ego, and unexpected vulnerability, making their dynamic feel earned rather than contrived.

The dual narration by Carly Robins and Aaron Shedlock elevates the audiobook into something special. Robins nails Ella’s wit and determination, while Shedlock’s gravelly tone gives the hockey hero a rugged charm that avoids cliché. What sets this apart from the pack? The way Winters weaves professional rivalry into the romance—Ella’s decorating a luxury condo for the team’s owner, putting her in direct conflict with the player she’s trying *not* to fall for. The result is a romance that’s as much about negotiation as it is about attraction, with dialogue that crackles like a live mic at center ice.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I’ll admit, I rolled my eyes at the ‘virgin heroine’ trope when I started *Forbidden Puck*—but Ella Couture won me over in the first chapter. She’s not waiting for love because she’s naive; she’s waiting because she’s *discerning*, and that distinction makes all the difference. June Winters writes banter that feels like a contact sport, and the audiobook’s dual narration turns it into a full-body experience. Carly Robins delivers Ella’s sarcasm with perfect timing, while Aaron Shedlock’s performance as the hockey player walks the line between cocky and wounded, which is harder to pull off than it sounds. The pacing is where this audiobook *almost* stumbles. The first half builds tension beautifully, but the middle act drags slightly with repetitive internal monologues about Ella’s ‘rules.’ That said, the payoff—a third-act twist involving a public scandal and a decorating disaster—is worth the wait. The production quality is flawless, with seamless transitions between narrators and no distracting audio quirks. My only real critique? The steamy scenes, while well-narrated, occasionally tip into over-the-top territory (Aaron Shedlock’s growl is *intense*, y’all). But if you love enemies-to-lovers with a side of career-driven stakes, this is a slam dunk. Or, you know, a hat trick. Whatever the hockey equivalent is.
