Pucking Forbidden

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.
