About this listen

He just put her boyfriend in the hospital. Now he’s falling for her. What could possibly go wrong?

I’m the toughest enforcer in the league. I’ve worked hard for that title, but there’s one little problem with being an overachiever: I never know when to quit. So when I sucker-punch a rival on the ice, I end up benched for the rest of the season, suspended, and traded to Colorado. Feeling guilty and wanting to make things right, I decide to visit the injured player… only to be caught off guard by a stunning woman I meet at the hospital.

Natalie Foster’s fresh start isn't going as planned. After her new boyfriend lands in the hospital—thanks to yours truly—and his ex shows up to stir the pot, she seems relieved to find a new friend in me. And when I bite off more than I can chew by adopting a dog, she’s more than happy to lend a hand.

As I struggle to fit in with my new team and repair my reputation, I keep my past under wraps, even as my feelings for Natalie grow stronger. She has no clue I’m T.J. Shanstrom, but I’m falling harder every day.

The truth is about to wreck our chance for that perfect happily ever after.

Third man in is book 2 in the Playmakers Series and features our mains T.J. and Natalie. After Pro hockey player T.J. (the enforcer on his team) gets into trouble due to some antics on the field, he is suspended from the remaining games for the rest of the season and is to be traded to another team.

Natalie is dating Kevin, whom was knocked out during the game and is the reason for T.J's suspension. When T.J. goes to check up on Kevin, he meets Natalie. This complicates things as Natalie of course dislikes the man who put her boyfriend in hospital. However, they slowly get to know each other during these meetings and things progress from there.

This book was surprising heart warming and also so fun to read. At first I wasn't sure about T.J. but he quickly won me over with the way he treated Natalie and looked out for and helped her. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I also loved how independent Natalie was; although T.J. is determined to help her, she still maintained her independence throughout whilst still accepting his help at times. Overall, I loved G.K Brady's writing in this and had fun!

I listened to the audio version of this book which was narrated by Tor Thom & Whitton Frank. The narration was excellent! They both did amazingly with the character voices, and they both brought the characters and story to life!

4.5 Stars!

G.K Brady pens another fabulous novel set in her “Playmakers” series and it is just as amazing as the first book in the series, “Taming Beckett”. Each book features different lead characters and stands on their own. While some characters may crossover into each other’s books, everything you need to know is detailed and you will never feel lost or like you missed something. This book is professional hockey player T.J Shanstrom and Natalie Foster’s story. Natalie is dating Kevin May, one of T.J.’s teammates, but that is not how they meet, it was chance and circumstances that brought them together. I absolutely loved this story, it is well written and the plotting is fantastic. The story grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it straight to the end, nothing else mattered except what was going to happen with these two. The buildup of their friendship was amazing, and while T.J knew who she was, she had known that he was the one responsible for Kevin’s injury. He thought he was doing the right thing, trying to help her out, make her life easier, but it was a train wreck waiting to happen. He planned on telling her but the timing was never right, and there was no denying that they were great together and for each other, the chemistry between them was through the roof. There is never a dull moment in this book, it has plenty of drama, heartfelt emotions, angst and slow burn, but so worth the wait romance. G.K. Brady, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride. 

🎧📚🎧 And for the fantastic narration, Tor Thom and Whitton Frank are talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They had a complete understanding of the characters they were portraying, gave each their own voice and personality, and were believable in every role they played. You could heart how much heart they put into their work as they captured all the character’s emotions and projected them into their performance, making you feel every single one. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their narration enhanced this already fabulous story to another level.

Amazing narration dual from Tor Thom and Whitton Frank. Perfect , perfect

Pro hockey player T.J. who is a bad boy hockey player is suspended from the remaining games for the rest of the season and now is to be traded to another team. He knocked another player called Kevin, the reason for his suspension.
While T.J. goes to sees how Kevin is , he meets Natalie. Problem is Natalie dislikes the man who put her boyfriend in hospital. But slowly they get to know each other during these meetings.
Natalie is one independent lady. Even though she has lost her career and now is a independent accountant and dog walker. Loved how the characters grow. This story has suspense, and the right amount of heat.

This is the second book in The Playmakers Series, a Hockey Romance. I liked Natalie and T.J.’s story. Natalie is beautiful, kind, and caring. T.J. is handsome, and supportive. They are perfect together. Their story is sweet, engaging, and heartwarming, filled with secrets, and romance. Great narration from Tor Thom and Whitton Frank. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listening to Gauging the Player, the next book in the series.

Sweet, engaging, and heartwarming!

Really enjoyed this book, was a tough read to start with touching on a tough subject of serious injury recovery and a little hidden truths. This is a great story of loyalty, love, loss and puppies!

Well worth your time!
