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.

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!

Individually, these authors are auto buy authors for me, and together, the results are perfection.
This book has all the dark bully elements we know and love from S. Massery and the sweet tender moments from SJ Sylvis.
Wren and Stone are definitely meant to be together. The back and forth between them was the perfect build-up for their relationship especially as they had so much history together, so when they finally decided to give into the super hot chemistry between them the results were HOT and their relationship progressed quickly.
Wren story is heartbreaking she has been through so much in her life, but she doesn't let it bring her down.
This book is all go from the very beginning and I couldn't stop listening to it. The narrators are amazing and brought Wren and Stone to life perfectly.

5 stars for story / 4.5 stars for performance
If you like a college bully romance, this one will be one to grab. S. Massery and S.J. Sylvis both have master hockey romance and are some of the few that can add the darker elements and still keep the sports romance integrity. Wren has been through some major trauma and is still haunted by her drug dealing father, even from prison. When Stone decides to get some payback for an awful situation that occurred when they were in high school, Wren's location is leaked and her past catches up to her again. I truly loved so many aspects of this story, Wren and Evan's sibling bond, Stone's unwillingness to let bygones be bygones...(I really don't blame him for his anger), and the family type bond and acceptance this hockey team shares for each other. It was all so well written and each character brings so much to the story. It's highly enjoyable and gets really exciting and emotional.
The narration was also good. Both narrators are new to me and did a great job voices multiple characters at a time. I was a little hung up when there were multiple male voices in one conversation that got a bit hard to differentiate but it wasn't enough to take away from a great listening experience and I devoured this one in one day.
