About this listen

Jordana

I live my life head over heart and never rock the boat, which is how I wound up engaged to Bryan Davenport—the biggest mistake I ever made. We were a power couple, but no one knew how cruel he could be behind closed doors. When I decide to leave, my fiancé shows just how ruthless he can be and sends me running to the last person I expect: his best man.

Camden Teller is a cocky, selfish, womanizing daredevil—and my new favorite person. Who knew a bad boy would be such a good influence? For the first time, I'm breaking the rules and living unapologetically. Our unexpected camaraderie quickly morphs into a no-strings arrangement. I don't mind because, even though he's become my closest friend, he'll never be my type.

Camden

I may be the new Minnesota Lakes hockey captain but I'll always be Banksy on the ice. Over my career, I've been in countless fights. Being protective is part of my nature, so when the beautiful Jordana Landry shows up with nowhere to go, I don't hesitate. Unfortunately, she's also sophisticated, polite, and educated, which would be fine except I've got a corruption kink.

The more we hang out, the closer we get and the harder it is to resist each other—until we stop resisting. I never sleep with the same woman twice, but once with her will never be enough. However, it's not long before I realize she's not as innocent as she lets on. Jordan says I'm not her type… but she's exactly mine.

Okay, so I just finished Stand and Defend by Sloane St. James, and wow—this book took me on a ride! Hands down, this was my favorite in the series.

First of all, let’s talk about Jordana and Camden. These two? Off. The. Charts. The heat and spice between them are enough to make you blush, and their chemistry is next-level amazing. But it’s not just about the steamy moments—they have such a genuine connection that it feels completely real. You can’t help but root for them.

That said, I could’ve done without the whole other woman drama. It felt unnecessary and kind of pulled focus from the magic that was Jordana and Camden’s relationship.

Overall, Stand and Defend is everything you’d want in a romance novel—fun, emotional, spicy, and filled with characters you’ll absolutely fall in love with.

Dual narration - great job by both narrators.

It’s rare for me to find a romance book where both main characters are very likeable and this was exactly that. I loved Jordan’s character and her coming into her own power, and Camden was a perfect MMC. I particularly loved that although he supported her and helped saving her she ultimately saved herself. Really perfect sports romance and very enjoyable listening experience. The narrators were excellent and embodied the characters perfectly!

Great sports romance, excellent narration

An excellent listen by two talented narrators. The story, while in some places a little upsetting, is a good read/listen. Great spice. Love Cam and, dear God, I’ve already forgotten the FMC's name, but I loved her too. The stakes were high, but I found the story lacked conflict. I wanted a little more from Brian, I wanted the FMC, Jordan!!! I remember now... to have a few more ups and downs, as it just seemed to climb upwards and I actually found that a little boring and the ending didn't feel as spectacular as it could have, in my opinion. I felt like I was waiting for something to happen. I'd still recommend and I will probably listen again as I really enjoyed the first half.

Loved it!
