Summary

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Pucked series comes a romantic comedy about instant attraction, second chances, and not-so-little white lies.

Sometimes I need an escape from the demands, the puck bunnies, and the notoriety that come with being an NHL team captain. I just want to be a normal guy for a few weeks. So when I leave Chicago for some peace and quiet, the last thing I expect is for a gorgeous woman to literally fall into my lap on a flight to Alaska. Even better, she has absolutely no idea who I am.

Lainey is the perfect escape from my life. My plan for seclusion becomes a monthlong sex fest punctuated with domestic bliss. But it ends just as abruptly as it began. When I’m called away on a family emergency, I realize too late that I have no way to contact Lainey.

A year later, a chance encounter throws Lainey and me together again. But I still have a lie hanging over my head, and Lainey’s keeping secrets of her own. With more than lust at stake, the truth may be our game changer.

Pass the sick bag

The blurb sounded good, the narrators are good, so was looking forward to a good 8hrs plus of enjoyment. Only managed to listen to 38 mins before the male MC got right on my tits with his attitude. I know you have to give the book a chance, but when the female MC is physically sick on a v small plane and they get all huggy huggy when they are total strangers, it was too vomit inducing to continue.

Great book if you’re into babies and kids

All this book was about was babies and babies and babies and more babies! Quite frankly I found it a bit irritating, and the characters equally so. I’m afraid I cannot recommend this book unless you want to be inundated with babyhood.

Good storyline but lacked passion

Although I enjoyed the over all story and direction of the book I felt that the main characters lacked passion and drive towards each other, there was no push and pull between them and the romantic sparks that where between them was rushed. Has that of been better then this would have been a 5 star for me

Super feel good romance

Is this second chance romance? Oh I think it is. When RJ meets the girl of his dreams whilst on vacation in Alaska, he ‘forgets’ to tell mention he is the team captain for Chicago’s NHL team, and, when they hastily part ways they have no way of contacting each other. Fast forward one year and RJ still can’t get Lainey out of his head, fortunate then that she’s relocated to Chicago. There’s just one problem, RJ’s non truth regarding his career, which causes Lainey to rethink the possibility of ‘more’. What a truly enjoyable, feel good romance, with two main characters that are nothing but good people through and through. A totally refreshing read. When I started this new series I didn’t realise it was a spin off from Helena Hunting’s Pucked series, so it was a wonderful surprise to touch base with the Pucked crew. A full five stars from me, couldn’t fault it, story, characters, narration (Jason Clarke is one of my most favourite narrators). I’ve already one-clicked book 2.

Touching romance

I enjoyed this story of the blossoming love between shy, nervous Laney and sceptical RJ. I have given a 4 star rating as the female narrator needed to put more life into her voice which was a shame because Jason did an amazing job on all the male characters, as he usually does.

Jason Clarke

Have to say I follow readers and Jason Clarke NEVER disappoints... think this is my 10th book of his narration ... But this is a sweet chic lit story - I liked it. But Jason .. hmmmm - looking for another with that VOICE
