About this listen

Rylan Keller is dreading the start of spring semester. After choosing a college across the country and spending the past fall abroad, she’ll be a Holt University student. Worse than starting over at a new school? Starting over at a new school where your dad is the head coach of the men’s hockey team. And reluctantly agreeing to tutor a player, then coming face-to-face with the guy you thought you’d never see again.

Aidan Phillips has a reputation on campus. One he’s carefully curated to include limited reliability or responsibility. Outside of hockey, he spends his free time drinking, partying, and flirting. Often all three.

He’s a player off the ice as well as on it. Gorgeous, carefree, reckless. His one goal is to finally win Holt a championship, which he can only do if he keeps up his end of the tutoring arrangement. Hooking up with his tutor would be stupider than failing in the first place, even if the tutor in question wasn’t his coach’s daughter.

Rylan is determined to excel at Holt and make her fresh start a success. To finally have some fun, and not with a hockey player. Except, the more time they spend together, the harder it is to hold back.

But no matter how tempting giving in might be…the odds are stacked against them.

This is the second book in the Holt Hockey series, a college hockey romance. Rylan and Aidan's slow burn and forbidden romance is sweet, emotional, passionate, funny, and engaging, filled with family drama, and romance. They are perfect together. The supporting characters are interesting. Connor Crais and Erin Mallon did an outstanding job bringing this story to life. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to more in the series.

Sweet College Hockey Romance!

I flew through the audiobook edition of Against All Odds by CW Farnsworth, and performed by Erin Mallon & Connor Crais! If you like a steamy, college hockey romance, with a forbidden coach’s daughter trope… you’ll love this.

The story was performed fantastically by Erin & Connor! Their performance range and ability to keep you entertained with each chapter is spot on.

This was my first book by CW Farnsworth, and there will be more! Against All Odds has a great storyline, a superb amount of spice, and was super well paced, keeping my attention the whole way through.

Against All Odds is book 2 of the Holt Hockey series, and followed Aiden & Rylan. They had a steamy hot tub meet cute on vacation, then end up at the same college, with many unavoidable links to each other. The banter and text messages were hilarious and the stolen kisses… and more, built up the perfect amount of tension. I will definitely be continuing with the series.

College hockey romance with all the swoon & spice!

listening to Aidan and Rylan's story made me fall in love with Aidan and the man that he is all over again.

He is such a sweetheart, a reformed playboy at its finest. He had me smiling in almost every chapter, the caretaking scenes, how conscious of his actions and how he didn't want to hurt Rylan; I thorough enjoyed the audiobook of their story.

It also got me so, so excited for Hunter's book! I think, think, very loosely that his love interest is someone that we've already met, a roommate of a certain redhead, but i could be wrong it's all just speculation!

Aidan is such a sweetheart!
