Trouble.
One word that comes to mind when someone talks about me. I like to think of it as protection, watching out for the ones I love. But now I’m spending more time in the penalty box than on the ice and the team owner isn’t happy.
Finding myself across the room from the hot therapist I kissed on New Year’s Eve only makes me push my problems down further. I want couch time with her but not the kind she’s used to.
I decide to lie to her just to finish off my therapy so I can do what I really want—date her—even if she says she doesn’t date hockey players. Just when my therapy sessions are up and I’ve made some headway with Paisley, it’s my parents who throw another wrench in my plans.
If I abide by my parent’s wishes to marry the one they’ve chosen, I’ll lose Paisley forever. But if I go against my parents, I’m failing my deceased best friend all over again.
My Thoughts:
Maksim is good at keeping secrets. He’s also very cocky. Paisley has a job that helps people but there are boundaries that must be observed. In her personal life, she has some insecurities that keep popping up.
Our authors have created an interesting connection between our main characters. Maksim is a self-assured Russian hockey player who knows what he wants. Paisley knows what she wants but seems to have second guesses when actually following through. That was until she found the right man.
The audiobook version will help the reader when it comes to hearing someone talk with a slight accent. Mr. Paige was a great voice for Maksim but since I’ve heard a few books told by him, there were times when his natural voice came through. I didn’t mind that though since it didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the tale. Ms. Sylvan is a new narrator for me. It was a pleasure listening to her bring Paisley to life. She also did a good job with a male voice. This was a duo that I look forward to hearing again.
I loved the book and will certainly read it again but when I need to be hands-free, the audio version will be my choice. But I think that with the ending, the audiobook wins out. This is a series that I can see having a marathon read once it is complete. In the meantime, I can enjoy each book as they come out.
