About this listen

Hockey with benefits. That was what Mara proposed, and I was down. She said no feelings, and she meant it. Just benefits. No strings attached. Nothing else. Not even friendship.

College was her escape, including us.

I didn't have time for a girlfriend. I had classes, the team, my family, and the game. It was all working too....

Until somewhere down the line, things got messy.

Until somehow we were dealing with threats, secrets, rivals, and so much more.

Until I began to want her in ways that weren't part of the deal.

Our agreement didn't just get checked into the wall, it got obliterated.

This one will grip you by your heart and not spit you out until the very end! So, so good. I absolutely adore these two, and I was honestly sad to see the book end while at the same time really happy for them both to get their HEA. They both have their flaws and things that they need to overcome... and they do, ask the whole, putting your emotions through the wringer. It's so worth it, though, so don't let that scare you away! This one is definitely worth the read or listen, whichever way you choose to devour it.

The narrators for the audiobook did so, so good. Their voices helped bring these characters to life to me and made the story feel like one a close friend is telling you that you can deeply connect with. Their voices complimented each other really well too which kept the transitions from character to character really smooth. I will definitely be listening to more from them both!

Tijan blows me away with another amazing novel, a contemporary college sports romance and wow, romance like no other. It is a complex and multilayered story, one that captured my attention right from the start and held it captive the entire time. The writing and plotting are fantastic, as are the world building and character growth and development. Mara, a college student, likes to keep herself distanced from everyone, but she also likes to get lost in someone else for pleasure and she found the right partner for that, a no strings, no friendship, only the benefits with Cruz, the college’s hockey team star player. Cruz has a lot going on in his life and does not have time for a serious relationship, so Mara’s arrangement fits the bill. And it all worked out perfectly until feelings got involved. I loved watching these two first navigate their non-relationship hookups and then seeing parts of their lives trickle into each other. Both had family drama and issues going on and demons in their closets, and my heart broke for them both. Mara wanted to keep it all to herself, not burden anyone with her problems, and not let anyone in. However, she never had the right people in her corner. There is never a dull moment in book, the drama is non-stop and there is plenty of angst, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Tijan, thank you for another fantastic story and emotional rollercoaster ride. 

🎧📚🎧 And for the fantastic narration, Connor Crais and Desiree Ketchum did an amazing job portraying these characters and did so with a complete understanding of who they were, giving each a voice that suited that character and was believable in every role they played. Both completely nailed it in the lead roles, with Crais as Cruz, and Ketchum as Mara, they brought out all their emotions and had you feeling every single one. They were just as fabulous in covering the roles of the secondary characters, too. These versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to, and their performance enhanced this amazing story to another level. Thank you for another wonderful listen.

Terrific Story & Narration🎧Riveting & Heartfelt!

Mara & Cruz are two college students dealing with all the normal college problems and more. Both have deep ingrained battles with past events that still touch their lives.
This book shines a huge light onto the stresses of invisible disabilities and mental health and how they affect not only the sufferer but all those immediately around them. It was deep and emotional but also somewhat overwhelming with so many secondary characters to keep track of.
Connor Crais and Desiree Ketchum narrate Cruz and Mara, doing a brilliant job capturing their individual personality traits.

Mara has a difficult time of it, so she keeps to herself for the most part. She doesn't have a lot of friends, and those she has, she keeps at a distance. Cruz only focuses on hockey. He doesn't have time for a relationship and puck bunnies are really not his thing. So a no strings attached, no friendship relationship with Mara seems the most logical and pleasurable. Between the two, their chemistry is off the charts and to be able to walk away when it's over is icing on the cake. That is until feelings do begin to get involved. Tijan writes an incredibly addicting story about love and all it's glory. Mara has some secrets and letting Cruz in will not be easy. Cruz has big dreams and letting Mara be a part of them may not be realistic. I was completely invested in the outcome of these two. The many layers to each of the characters pulled me in and I was hooked until each layer was revealed. It's a fantastic story!

Connor Crais and Desiree Ketchum perform this story to perfection. Crais featured as Cruz, gives him a warmth that is undeniably attractive. He is strong, and perceptive and each time Crais brings out all the feels. Ketchum is fabulous in as Mara. She is a complex, layered character, and Ketchum understands each part of her. Emotionally driven, she had me feeling everything Mara did. This team always is amazing and this book is no exception.

Emotionally driven and amazing!
