Square to the Puck

About This Audiobook

Square to the Puck delivers a sharp, emotionally layered romantic comedy where a six-year-old secret refuses to stay buried. Corwin and Nigel’s past fling resurfaces just as their professional lives collide—Nigel’s arrival on Corwin’s hockey team sparks tension both on the ice and off, igniting a slow-burn reconnection laced with regret, lingering attraction, and sharp banter. What sets this apart is its authenticity: the emotional pacing avoids melodrama, instead favoring quiet, introspective moments that resonate. J.J. Mulder doesn’t just write romance—she crafts a narrative that values emotional maturity alongside passion, making the stakes feel real and earned. The dual narration by Liam DiCosimo and Iggy Toma elevates the story with distinct vocal textures—DiCosimo brings Corwin’s guarded stoicism to life with a gravelly restraint, while Toma infuses Nigel with a smooth, confident charm that flickers with vulnerability. Their performances aren’t just technically strong; they create an aural intimacy that makes the chemistry palpable. The production is crisp, with seamless transitions between dialogue and internal monologue. This isn’t just another sports romance—it’s a thoughtful exploration of identity, timing, and the cost of self-protection, all delivered with warmth and wry humor.
