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.

Story
I’m a curvy sports geek. Liam’s a hockey god. He’s way out of my league… My brother’s best friend is acting really weird. Flowers keep showing up. He sends me Cameos and concert tickets. Then, there’s the job offer… Well, first, there was the fact that he tracked me down to NYC. It’s really complicated, okay? But so are my feelings for him. I’ve been ignoring them for so long that they became a wall I’m comfortable hiding behind.

Story
Theo Brooks is hard not to notice. With his coy smirk, rock-hard abs, and skilled agility on the ice, he's the cockiest of all the jocks and, unfortunately for me, my new roommate. When Admissions mixes up my first and last name, and I end up living in the male dorms, I feel my perfectly tied schedule loosening with every string Theo pulls. And he likes to pull every single one. It isn't until I find out that my long-time boyfriend is sampling other girls that things get interesting. Theo proposes a solution to my problem.

I was poor. She was rich. The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast. Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project. Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much. Yeah, baby girl, say it. I’m your foster brother. There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life. She’s about to shell out some serious tears.

“Give me a second chance, babe . . . and I’ll blow your mind.” Monroe doesn’t know why she answers the text that’s obviously meant for someone else. Or why she keeps answering. Maybe it’s because she’s all alone in a big city and in desperate need of a lifeline. Or maybe it’s because each exchange leaves her intrigued and more than a little turned on. Still, Monroe never would’ve snarked back if she’d known she was talking to the “Golden Boy” of the Dallas Knights.

I caught the attention of a monster. I didn’t ask for it. Didn’t even see it coming. But the moment I do, it’s too late. Killian Carson is a predator wrapped in sophisticated charm. He’s cold-blooded, manipulative, and savage. The worst part is that no one sees his devil side. I do. And that will cost me everything. I run, but the thing about monsters? They always chase.

When my grandmother died and left me half of the house on Aquidneck Island, there was a catch: the other half would go to the boy she helped raise.

Tristan Stiles is the bane of my existence. He never wears a shirt. We can’t seem to stop fighting. He’s an arrogant playboy with a filthy reputation. Sure, I had a crush on him when I was fourteen but that was a long time ago. I know better than to trust him. I just need to survive long enough to find a new job and get a new place. And not accidentally let Tristan show me exactly how well-deserved his reputation is.

So obsessed
January 26, 2024
OMG this book had me hooked from the beginning! It is the first book I've read/listened to from either author and I will now be going back to their other work! This was a delicious, spicy, enemies to lovers that I just devoured! I love enemies to lovers in general, but especially the ones where they are truly enemies to begin with (not the enemies where one is secretly in love). The angst, tension and pure animosity between these two just really took the story to another level. Wren (or Sticks, as is her nickname), did something truly awful to Stone in their past, so his hatred towards her is well earned and deserved. But when these two are forced to live together and interact with one another, that hatred slowly begins to break down. Stone wants to hate her for what she did, but her vulnerability makes him see that she is so much more than her past transgressions. Wren has always had her guard up and has difficulty letting people in because of her childhood, but Stone's determination to be there for her really helps to lower her walls and let him in. These two are a "burn down the world for you" kind of love and I am here for it.
Alex and Kiera both did amazing jobs narrating this story. You really got Stone's possessiveness and determination through Alex's performance, and Kiera really brought Wren's vulnerability and sassiness to life

Alex Kydd needs to stop chuckling
I'm a huge fan of S Massery's other works, but this fell a bit short for me. The story itself was a little silly, though I think if I read it rather than listened I may have had a better experience. Why? Because Alex Kydd is a freaking chuckle monster throughout this and it became so irritating how often he did it.
