About this listen

She's about to make a deal with the college bad boy.... Hannah Wells has finally found someone who turns her on. But while she might be confident in every other area of her life, she's carting around a full set of baggage when it comes to sex and seduction. If she wants to get her crush's attention, she'll have to step out of her comfort zone and make him take notice, even if it means tutoring the annoying, childish, cocky captain of the hockey team in exchange for a pretend date.

...And it's going to be oh so good. All Garrett Graham has ever wanted is to play professional hockey after graduation, but his plummeting GPA is threatening everything he's worked so hard for. If helping a sarcastic brunette make another guy jealous will help him secure his position on the team, he's all for it. But when one unexpected kiss leads to the wildest sex of both their lives, it doesn't take long for Garrett to realize that pretend isn't going to cut it. Now he just has to convince Hannah that the man she wants looks a lot like him.

OK so I've never read/listened to a "sport romance" novel in my life, so this was completely new territory for me... However I can honestly (and unashamedly) say that I really enjoyed this! Sure, it's got a classic plot that's been through the mill a few times: girl who aces a particular class tutors a jock, so he can still play sports, mutual attraction blooms , yadda yadda you get the picture, but it's executed really well and you can feel the chemistry of the two main characters whilst observing their thoughts from their points of view.
I will say I found the female narrator's voice to be a bit slow and drawly, but if you speed up the tempo to 1.15 or 1.20 it's a lot easier to listen to without disrupting the male narration too much 😉

Enjoyed it way more than anticipated

So first off, story is lighthearted and a little predictable but it was a fun read… however… the voiceovers! The male lead, was alright no issues and it made me like garrets character more. The female… oh my god! She is so annoying. Whiny, nasal voice that makes the character of Hannah go from sarcastic to the most whingy-ist bitch I’ve ever heard. It was really hard to listen to and I almost stop listening to it. Would have been better if I read the book myself which is what I might do for the second book. Not sure I can deal with her voice again

Eh…

I was anxious about this audiobook based on the reviews criticising narrators, but after listening to the whole book, I disagree! Christian Fox is doing excellent job, I would even say it is not much as narration as voice acting. He brings Garrett to life. Lorelei is okay, but requires getting used to her slow tempo. As for the book itself, the book is awesome. The story is hilarious, both characters have real chemistry that you can feel as the story progresses.

if you're in doubt - buy it is awesome
