The Final Score

About This Audiobook

Imagine your brother’s hockey teammate ticking every box on your ‘never date’ list—cocky, commitment-phobic, and so hot even his grunts after practice could melt your winter gear. Now imagine that same player somehow ending up on your scorecard, not just once but twice after an unexpected reunion nine months later. Maren Moore’s *The Final Score* turns clichés into crackling chemistry, layering a single dad pregnancy plot with the kind of banter that makes you snort-laugh at 2 a.m. The romance crackles like fresh Zamboni ice, skating between tender lullabies and the puckish push-and-pull that only happens when two people are both too stubborn to admit what they really want. Moore nails the messy, sticky reality of modern love without once resorting to fake hockey metaphors—thankfully, because we’ve all heard how the ‘game’ is ‘life’ one too many times already. The audiobook amplifies every raised eyebrow and muttered curse with Daniela Acitelli’s vocal acrobatics as the heroine and Alex Kydd’s buttery baritone as the reformed playboy, creating a dual-narration chemistry that feels less like listening and more like eavesdropping on the couple next door who definitely shouldn’t have left their window open.
