Summary

He ruined her brother’s career. Now he’s back—and one touch could ruin her too.

Fifteen years ago, one brutal hit on the ice ended Tessa James’s brother’s career—and shattered her world. The man behind it? Drew Maddox. Her brother’s hero turned enemy. The golden boy who broke everything, including her heart.

She swore she’d never forgive him. Never look at him again. Never feel anything but hate.

But when Drew storms back into Maple Hills—older, harder, and infuriatingly irresistible—Tessa’s carefully built walls start to crack. He’s leading the rink renovation she fought to save for her son… and every encounter feels like a collision course between fury and desire.

He’s trouble wrapped in muscle and guilt, with a voice that still makes her knees weak. She should hate him. She does hate him. Until he’s close enough to touch. Until his hands find her hips. Until one forbidden kiss reignites everything she swore she’d buried.

Now their small town is watching, old scars are bleeding, and the line between love and hate is melting faster than ice under fire.

Because when passion burns this hot… someone’s bound to get scorched.

Right from the start, the story felt intense. There was a lot of hurt and history between the two main characters. I liked how the story showed both sides. It made me understand why they acted the way they did.

In my opinion, the romance was the best part. The slow build made the big moments feel worth it. Some parts were a bit predictable, but still fun. Overall, it was a good listen if you enjoy emotional love stories with tension.

This was such an easy, fun listen. I put it on while getting things done and kept finding reasons to do one more task just so I could keep listening. The enemies-to-lovers vibe kicks in early, and the hockey backdrop adds that extra spark without turning into a play-by-play. The banter is sharp, the tension is solid, and the relationship build has enough heart that it stays satisfying. The narration really helps too. It gives the characters personality and makes the chemistry come through in a way that feels natural. Just really enjoyed it.

So good!

I really enjoyed this because it had that perfect mix of old hurt, strong chemistry, and small-town tension. I was curious right away because the backstory gave the relationship real weight, and it made every interaction feel loaded. I liked that it wasn’t just romance, but also about resentment, history, and whether people can move past deep damage. For me, this was the kind of listen that pulls you in fast and keeps you invested.

Tense, messy and addictive!

Nice to listen to romance in sports and going through the ups and downs along with the characters. It makes for a good listen when you just want to chill and relax on an afternoon. It is also a good one to bring along during travel, whether you are in a car or relaxing on the beach. I like the guilt and hate, and mixing with love and drama.
