About this listen

Callum Hayes

The first time I witnessed death was my mother's when I was eight years old. It devastated me. The second was at sixteen when I stumbled on my stepfather's body after he was brutally murdered. That one screwed me up in a different way.

Since then, I've kept my shadows at bay, my secrets locked up tight. That is, until Stone Wakefield joins my college hockey team.

Five years ago, he saw something I meant to take to my grave. He saw me weak, and I hate him for it. I have no choice but to keep hating him so he never sees past my mask again.

Stone Wakefield

Callum hates me, and he does nothing to hide it. While that makes it easy to get under his skin, it presents a problem on the ice. However, the bigger threat is my growing need to protect and possess him.

When I start to wonder if he's just as obsessed with me as I am with him, I'm not sure if I can stay away. I know I should because I have secrets of my own.

But what if the darkness in both of us is the piece we've each been missing?

Callum Hayes is mine. He just doesn't know it yet.

Ricochet is a standalone dark MM hockey romance with a guaranteed HEA. Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

Intense, possessive, psychotic, hot af, spicy, heartbreaking, soul healing. I was hooked on every word in this book. The narrators did an excellent job, and did the characters justice. I highly recommend listening! I cried and swooned and happy danced 10/10

While this starts out fairly strong and quite promising it goes downhill really fast from about half way! The conclusion is a bit ridiculous. It literally makes zero sense! There is no need to “draw out” stone or involve others when Stone & Callum have never hidden, they’ve literally been out in the open the whole book with never ending access to them?! I know it’s fiction and I read some really ridiculous books anyway and still really enjoy them but this was just a bit too silly for me unfortunately and a little bit cringe at times.
While the spice is okay there’s nowhere near enough of it. I’d also call it a lighter dark romance even with the plot tbh. I’ve read much much darker and more gruesome it’s kinda light on both if you’re already used to darker books/themes. Liams narration is also poor in this, he’s hit and miss for me anyway but he’s wrong for Callum he just doesn’t suit the character at all.

Not as good as I’d hoped!
