About this listen

A failing farm. His father's debt. And a struggling college track team.

Will Langstrom has too many responsibilities, and the last thing he needs is Olivia Finnegan, a beautiful but troubled new transfer student.

A smart mouth. A strong right hook. And a secret that could destroy her.

Olivia is her own worst enemy, with a past she can't seem to escape, and the last person she wants help from is a cocky track coach she can never seem to please.

Refusing to be pushed away, Will is determined to save her. And determined to resist an attraction that could destroy them both.

Contains mature themes.

The male narrator must have been drunk or bored out of his mind or.. I don't know, he maybe just wanted to go to bed to sleep..,. The only times he sounded awake were his high tones which were even more annoying. Not to mention he has this older voice which was not something I was looking for a 20 something guy's character. And what was really annoying: his parts of this recording were much lower speak of volume so I ended up turning up and down the volume between the male and female narration parts. Trust me, it gets old after 2 hours. And this one took more than 10 hours. Definetely not his fault, someone should have been paying attention to this aspect at the studio.

Having said that.. his intonation was really good at least (except for the high ones) which is good thing since I have at least 2 more audiobooks I really wanna listen and he is the male narrator. Wasn't happy about that, but.. hell, his sleepy voice grew on me in the last 10 ours :).

The story was good, liked the H and the h, their attitudes and the chemistry between them. Were the parts of them or their beheviours I did not like? Sure. But I am not giving away any spoiler :))
I did not like the last 50 minutes or so though, it was absolutely unnecesery and unrelated.

Still recommend this audiobook, don't mind me bitching about stuff. You should go out and get your own experiences :)

Do not fall asleep at the male narration parts :)

This is the first book in a series of interconnected standalone. I love the concept of this series and the concept of a meddling mum who match makes for her kids.

This book is about King who is a hockey player and seems to have it all under control And Aurora who’s life is imploding due to some sensitive circumstances. Their interactions are filled with excellent tension and witty banter. I love how they are total opposites but help each other find their happy equilibrium. I wish there has been more character development and world building but that’s my preference and does not take away from the story. Overall, this was a good read

The voices are so whiney it's hard to listen to at times, it really takes from the plot line. he is supposed to be this powerful man but the voice actor..........not good, sorry to be blunt

Narration not good
