About this listen

The first book in the scorching new Hot Jocks series by New York Times best-selling author Kendall Ryan - available in audio first!

I've never been so stupid in my entire life.

Elise Parrish, my teammate's incredibly sweet and gorgeous younger sister, should have been off-limits, but my hockey stick didn't get the memo.

After our team won the championship, our flirting turned physical, and I took her to bed. Then shame sent her running the next morning from our catastrophic mistake.

She thinks I don't remember that night - but every detail is burned into my brain so deeply, I’ll never forget. The feel of her in my arms, the soft whimpers of pleasure I coaxed from her perfect lips....

And now I’ve spent three months trying to get her out of my head, but I’m starting to understand she’s the only girl I’ll ever want.

I have one shot to show her I can be exactly what she needs, but Elise won’t be easily convinced.

That’s okay, because I’m good under pressure, and this time, I’m playing for keeps.

Loved the characters. Could really empathise and situations were realistic.
Will read the whole series.

Great story!

I think this is the first Kendall Ryan book I’ve read, so I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
Playing for keeps was a quick and dirty read. Your able to jump straight into the story without feeling like I had missed something.
Justin and Elise are very likeable characters and you feel a connection to them straight away. The things they got up to while sneaking around, had me laughing so much. I loved seeing their relationship go from friends to lovers, and I’m not normally sick a fan of this trope!
I listened to the audio of this book and the narration was one of the best I’ve listened to, it had me captivated.

Quick dirty read

This is the first time I have listed to a book of this kind, I was looking for a little distraction from the usual textbooks I listen to and came across this in the included section, so thought I would give it a try. It accompanied me on a long drive and at the gym, it was good fun. I really enjoyed the first half of the book but found it a little lacking in the last few chapters, but overall good, I would listen to another one by this Author.

First book of this kind, overall it was good
