About this listen

Nothing interferes with Shane Hollander's game - definitely not the sexy rival he loves to hate.

Pro hockey star Shane Hollander isn't just crazy talented, he's got a spotless reputation. Hockey is his life. Now that he's captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, he won't let anything jeopardize that, especially the sexy Russian whose hard body keeps him awake at night.

Boston Bears captain Ilya Rozanov is everything Shane's not. The self-proclaimed king of the ice, he's as cocky as he is talented. No one can beat him - except Shane. They've made a career on their legendary rivalry, but when the skates come off, the heat between them is undeniable. When Ilya realizes he wants more than a few secret hookups, he knows he must walk away. The risk is too great.

As their attraction intensifies, they struggle to keep their relationship out of the public eye. If the truth comes out, it could ruin them both. But when their need for each other rivals their ambition on the ice, secrecy is no longer an option...

Great story - a few niggles with narration

I love all of Rachel Reid's hockey novels. the characters, the stories... amazing!
As a Canadian, I found the narrator's mispronunciations of Canadian placenames jarred me out of the flow of the story, especially "Regina"! I would think the name of a city would be easy to research..... :( Saskatchewan I can forgive, even Canadian's have trouble getting it correct. I thought the Russian accent was just "okay".

I loved it!

I’d already read the book, so it’s nice to listen to the audiobook while walking or cleaning. Great narrator. Awesome love story.

Book good, narrator dreadful

I enjoyed this story quite a bit. It follows Two hockey players through many years starting just before they get drafted to rival nhl teams. The boys are very different but share a deep competitiveness and confusing sexual attraction.

For much of the book it is just little snapshots of brief encounters with each other and with assorted minor characters. Until they are men who finally fall in love. I thought it was quite well done.

The narration made me want to smack someone. I read a friend’s review who said how happy they were the narration improved from book one. I can hardly imagine it being worse. All the accents varied in style and thickness throughout the book. The women’s accents were painful to listen to. The tone often did not match text. For example one line was said at top volume with the next bit of dialogue something like “he said softly”. And then there was the inability to say Canadian place names. Ok Saskatchewan can be hard for some but Regina is not hard. They even have a slogan about their name rhyming with Vagina.
