About This Audiobook

This isn’t just another sports romance where the jock wins the girl—it’s a full-contact battle of wit, will, and wicked banter. Nichole Rose delivers a steamy, fast-paced rom-com that pits a cocky hockey star against his most hated rival’s sharp-tongued sister. Think *The Hating Game* on ice, with pucks instead of pens and locker rooms instead of boardrooms. The chemistry crackles from the first chapter, but the real magic happens when their hate-to-lust dynamic collides with a plot so twisty, you’ll be second-guessing every play. Rose nails the balance between cringe-worthy sibling rage and toe-curling tension, making this feel like a guilty pleasure you can devour in one sitting—without the hangover.

The audiobook elevates the material with narration that’s as sharp as the dialogue. Connor Brown’s smarmy, self-assured hockey hero voice is a perfect match for the protagonist’s ego, while Alexis Paige’s performance as the no-nonsense rival is a masterclass in dry wit and simmering heat. Their chemistry is electric, and the pacing keeps the energy high, even when the plot stumbles into typical rom-com territory. This isn’t high literature, but it’s the kind of addictive, escapist fun that romance fans crave when they need a break from their real-life penalties.

Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I went into this expecting a standard enemies-to-lovers sports romance, but Rose delivered way more than I bargained for—like a slapshot to the heart. The tension between the leads is *palpable*, especially once their verbal sparring turns physical in the best (and most distracting) way. Brown’s narration sells the hero’s arrogance without veering into caricature, and Paige’s performance as the rival sister is a revelation—she makes every sarcastic barb feel like a mic drop. The production is crisp, with just enough hockey rink sound effects to ground the story without overpowering the dialogue. That said, the plot leans hard into rom-com tropes, with a few contrived misunderstandings that feel like they were written in by committee. And while the chemistry is undeniable, the villain (a rival player who’s more cartoon than character) steals focus in the worst way. Still, the payoff is worth it—the smutty scenes are *spicy* enough to make you grateful for earbuds, and the ending wraps up with a bow that’s equal parts sweet and sassy. If you’re here for banter, brooding, and a heroine who can throw a punch (or a hockey stick), this audiobook will leave you breathless.
