A brand-new stand-alone novel in the New York Times best-selling Briar U series!

What I learned after last year’s distractions cost my hockey team our entire season? No more screwing up. No more screwing, period. As the new team captain, I need a new philosophy: hockey and school now, women later. Which means that I, Hunter Davenport, am officially going celibate...no matter how hard that makes things.

But there’s nothing in the rulebook that says I can’t be friends with a woman. And I won’t lie - my new classmate Demi Davis is one cool chick. Her smart mouth is hot as hell, and so is the rest of her, but the fact that she’s got a boyfriend eliminates the temptation to touch her.

Except three months into our friendship, Demi is single and looking for a rebound.

And she’s making a play for me.

Avoiding her is impossible. We’re paired up on a yearlong school project, but I’m confident I can resist her. We’d never work, anyway. Our backgrounds are too different, our goals aren’t aligned, and her parents hate my guts.

Hooking up is a very bad idea. Now I just have to convince my body - and my heart.

seriously funny, I laughed out loud on multiple occasions. it wasn't that spicy - and I really loved how hunter redeemed his character from past instalments.

only small annoyance was that Teddy Hamilton cannot do a female voice with a light Spanish accent, kind took me out of it when he had to speak her parts.

Best in the series

I have loved this series so far, and preferred some to others. This was a great story with really good characters. I loved Hunter. He’s funny and gorgeous and supportive. I liked Demi although I found her a bit irritating at times. I did like how both characters communicated well which ensured any misunderstandings were cheated up quickly which is refreshing.

I was however disappointed with the female narrator. She isn’t great. Her reading style was a bit monotone and the acting not great. She also pronounced a lot of words incorrectly, which I found frustrating. Teddy Hamilton was great though.

I’m sad I only have a couple more to listen to in the two Briar U series, but I’m really looking forward to Connor’s story.

Another great addition to the series

I couldn’t get past just how annoying Demi is. I never warmed to her and am actually hoping for a follow on book where Hunter dumps her!

Annoying lead female character

Much better than I expected it to be. Love Demi and Hunter < 3
But the best part is Mick and Rupi appearances.

Good story line for Hunter and Demi. I loved the inclusion of different cultures in this book compared to previous. We need more diversity across book series. So excited to get to know Rupi’s culture in the bonus book.

Can never go wrong with Teddy Hamilton but I really really struggled with the female voice for this book so much that I wish I had read it instead of listened to it. The pronunciation of some words was highly frustrating (it’s not hard to google how to pronounce Greenwich) but the main issue I had was the tone of Demi just felt wrong at some key times of the storyline (eg playfulness tone when it should have been sexy or serious and at times just very monotone). Plus the female version of Hunter didn’t align with Teddys version of Hunter which I know sometimes doesn’t always work with these types of books… but this felt like Hunter was two entirely different people with two entirely different personalities. I didn’t feel like she captured him well. Some voice artists just get it or maybe they need to sit in the same room to connect on the characters more.

Good story line but struggled with the female audio
