About this listen
It’s Blair Brawsiski’s ride or die year. After a decade in the AHL, if he doesn’t get called up to the NHL this season, it’s time to hang up his skates and focus on other things. But between a second job and family priorities, his attention isn’t where it should be, and his dreams of making it to the big leagues are dwindling by the day.
Hiring a personal assistant to help out with day-to-day stuff? Probably the smartest move Blair’s made in a while.
But when that PA turns out to be an assertive baker who’s exactly Blair’s type? Blair can’t help but wish those dexterous hands would knead something other than pastry dough.
Charlie desperately needs extra income. With his expenses about to go up, it’s find a second job or get evicted. Getting hired as Blair’s PA is perfect: flexible hours, decent wages, and a scorching-hot professional hockey player who’s willing to let him use his gorgeous kitchen for his baked goods.
Too bad that hockey player is exactly Charlie’s type. Too bad Charlie knows better than to date his new boss....

Blair is an over-worked, scatterbrained, hot mess at the beginning of the novel. With Charlie’s assistance (& support and eventual love) he morphs into a doting boyfriend who excels at his chosen career and maintains strong family bonds. Charlie himself goes from flailing (in debt, living on his own for the first time, unsure how he’s going to pay the bills) to being a sure-footed small business owner. Through it all, their love blossoms and grows and they each become stronger because of the other.
Full of apology flour, an apology sandwich and guilt smoothies, Aislin has a lyrical voice in storytelling. She has created a wonderful tale and Hokanson’s already showing growth is his narration, despite this being a new gig for him. He has a firm, soothing voice with already increasing inflection and tones.
Can’t wait for more stories in this series.
5 stars across the board
Sweet and spicy with character growth

The two MCs, Charlie and Blair were great characters and I loved seeing them get together.
Blair annoyed me with the way he would help out his family to the detriment of his own needs and I really wanted him to say no and start taking time for the things that were important in his career and personal life sooner than he did.
Charlie was such a sunshiny character and I really enjoyed getting to know him.
I'm looking forward to getting to know the other cousins in future books.
Loved the MCs

Loved it!

This can easily be read as a standalone. We were introduced to these characters in book 1 but I dont feel as though anything would be lost by reading this book alone.
This was a super sweet, low angst story with a little added humor throughout. The sparks were instant between these 2 and unstoppable even though they are reluctant to mix business with pleasure.
I enjoyed these 2 characters together and thought they made a great couple. It was low steam read and a nice slow burn romance. On their own I didn't love these characters and they had to grow on me. Blair was a sweet family man but he came off as a pushover who let his family take advantage of him to his own detriment of burnout and missing dream career opportunities. I wanted to scream at him multiple times. Charlie was very insecure and had major abandonment issues from his past. He also majorly struggled with trust and money issues. He is living alone for the first time despite being a grown man and is not handling it well at all. So he needs this job and doesn't want to risk it. Hence his resistance.
I didn't much care for any of the side characters the majority of the story despite the HEA for all the characters at the end. The world building was great and the one great character exception was Dorian. I enjoyed Dorians character alot. I'm looking forward to his story next.
This was a new to me narrator (other than book 1) and he seems to be a new narrator in general but he did a great job with it. His voice was very pleasant to listen to and he kept a good flow and pace. He expressed the emotions well and he gave each of the characters distinct voices so I could easily follow the story. I really enjoyed listening to it. It was even better than the book 1 performance.
Sweet story. Even better than the first

I loved Blair, he's such a sweetheart. Far too nice for his own good, though. He really needed to grow a backbone where his family was concerned.
Can definitely be read as a standalone. Although the couple from book one are in this but that doesn’t impact on the story at all.
This is a new to me narrator and they did a good job. I'd have like a stronger difference between the character voices but that's just my personal preference.
