About this listen

A college hockey romance from bestselling authors S. Massery and S.J. Sylvis.

Sticks and stones may break our bones…Hockey is my life.

After Wren Davis puts my dreams of the NHL in jeopardy, I vow to make her life hell if she ever comes near me again.

But she’s my best friend’s foster sister, and even though they don’t live together anymore, their bond is still tight, which makes avoiding each other extra difficult.

Especially when I show up at Shadow Valley University and learn my new room comes with an unwelcome addition: Wren Davis.

As much as I try to make her life hell, she gives it right back, until she’s not just under my skin but constantly on my mind.

But some things can’t be forgiven, and fraternizing with the enemy is the last thing either of us want.

Stone and Wren started this story in highschool as frenemies and after one shady act, they become totally enemies.

Fast forward to their college years and some misfortunes from fate, and they're living in the same hockey house... Sharing the same bedroom.

Between their bickering and pranks, things get heated, and Stones starts to see that Wren is not that selfish girl who throw him under the bus in highschool... She's fighting her own demons and nightmares alone.

I loved how he becomes so protective of her.
How obsessive and passionate he is!
She deserved to have someone looking only at her, doing everything for her and he's trying his best to keep her safe.

Chef's kiss to their relationship and no third act breakup, leaving them to fight against their enemy, and not each other.

I also loved all the hockey boys and can't wait to read their stories too!

The audiobook was another winner!

This book was awesome in it's own way!

This is the first book in the Shadow Valley U Series, a dark college hockey romance. Wren and Stone's enemies to lovers romance is well written, and engaging, filled with banter, angst, danger, and twists and turns. They are perfect together. The characters are well developed, and interesting. The storyline is entertaining, and intriguing. I liked the brotherhood in the story. Alex Kydd and Keira Stevens did a great job bringing this story to life. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to more in the series.
