Learn Your Lesson

Kings of the Ice

De: Kandi Steiner

Narrado por: Hannah Chiclana, Max Lindsey

My mother only wanted me to learn one lesson growing up

Men are trash.

Her father left her, and then my father left us. Being raised by her and my grandmother, I was surrounded by the reminder to be independent and guard my heart.

After my one and only experience with a boy in college fell flatter than a pancake, I realized they were right and I was content to live the life of a twenty-six-year-old cat lady.

Until Will Perry blew my quiet world to smithereens.

Starting goalie for the Tampa Bay Ospreys and the kind of hot that scrambles your brain, all I was ever supposed to be to him was his daughters kindergarten teacher. Then, in a twist of events, his temporary nanny.

But temporary turns to permanent, and when I move into his pool house, everything changes.

He's impossibly grumpy and focused on only two things: hockey, and taking care of his daughter. I'm only focused on using this new income to pay back my student loans.

But in that house, I feel his heated gaze beneath that permanent scowl, the way it lingers and warms my skin. And though I know my mother would lose her mind if she knew, my dreams have become midnight fantasies about my long-haired, muscle-lined mystery of a boss.

When the tension becomes too much, we break, and we make a deal.

He still needs a nanny. I still need a paycheck and for my matriarchy to not disown me. But Will agrees to teach me everything I've always wanted to learn, and I'm all too eager to be his student.

I can do this. I'm a grown woman. I can explore my sexuality with the hottest goalie on earth and still remain one-hundred percent professional. And I can definitely do it all without catching feelings.

I have to.

Otherwise, I'll end up heartbroken in my mothers arms while she shakes her head and asks me if Ill ever learn my lesson.

“I Guess we’re really doing our best”❤️

Kandi Steiner hasn’t let me down yet. Found family, Single dad nanny, grumpy sunshine, Steamy lessons what more can I ask for. Chloe is the best person in the world and she brings the magic to Daddy’s P (Will) and Abha’s world.

Well written

Beautiful love story and lots of spice. Excellent voice for the audiobook. Very nice storyline

Excellent narration

These narrators are top notch
Hannah is my favorite female narrator in the last 3 years of listening

The story is FIRE it’s so so spicy

Chloe is #1 in my heart

Kandi has done it again! I devoured this story. This was my first time listening to a narration by Max Lindsey and i was extremely impressed! He fully embodied Will’s grumpiness and performed so, so well. Hannah is one of my favorite narrators and she did not let me down with her performance of Chloe! My full review will be on Goodreads/Amazon!

Nice!

Really nice story with good writing and believable dialogue. The narrators did an excellent job as well. The hockey aspect doesn’t overtake the book, which I appreciate. The romance happens at a really good speed, along with the angst you would expect. The single dad aspect is also really well done, as well as the amount of time spent bringing Ava (daughter) into MCs romance. Also an appropriate amount of sexy times that are hot! Really well done.

The beautiful complex relationship.

Loved the storyline and all the heated interaction. Both dreaming and promising. Teased and pleased my own imagination with ease.

single dad x nanny romance❤️

4.5⭐️

This was so good!! I love how sweet and good this story was. The audio was fantastic and the narrators did an amazing job bringing these characters to life.

Magical, heartwarming and 🌶️ as 🔥!!

“Our family was different, it was born of both tragedy and magic. But it was ours.”

Indeed. Chloe and Will’s love story is ✨magical✨ (with a verrrrry naughty spin to it 😎🌶️).

I absolutely loved the development of both main characters. It was natural, fluid, organic. Will and Chloe fit together like 2 puzzle pieces, and slowly gave each other the confidence to break through the walls they had boxed themselves in, and be who they truly are. And Ava, Will’s daughter, was the sweetest little link between them ❤️

Lots of fun banter, tangible tension and amazing side characters (including 3 “adorable” cats 🤣🐈🐈🐈)

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this 🎧audiobook🎧. Both Hannah Chiclana and Max Lindsey are impressive in their duet performance, and their voices are so SO sexy 😩😩😩 I literally can not imagine this any other way. Absolute perfection!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

***

“The man was a magnetic force. Tall as a tree, muscles like a bull, and the saddest golden-brown eyes I’d ever seen.”

“What do you want to learn?” […..]
“Everything,” I breathed.

My heart!!!

My heart is so, so full! Daddy P got the story he deserved! The newest characters are so incredible and I loved seeing some of the characters we already know. This group of people are so well-rounded and I just felt like I wanted to be all of their friends.
The perfect amount of spice, tension, and mushiness! ❤️

All the stars. A top 2024 book.

“It’s okay, Daddy. We are doing our best.”

Will has been grieving for years after losing his wife. Closed off and all about business. He has his little girl, Ava, to focus on. Chloe grew up in a house with women that hated men. She’s inexperienced and a little disillusioned with love but strong and independent. She’s also Ava’s kindergarten teacher and new nanny.

So what happens when a breath of fresh air and sunlight enters a world of full of clouds? Magic. That’s what we have here. That’s what Kandi continues to create. I’m a sucker for single dad and Will takes the cake. Broody but kind. Protective. And that mouth. Chloe is the sweetest. She really is goals. And seeing Ava shine melted my heart. I know everyone is talking about chapter 21 and 25, and rightly so. But chapter 31 moved my soul. The break through and surrender. It makes me emotional.

It’s not a secret I’m a big Kandi fan but Kings of the Ice is undoubtedly my favorite series of hers. I’m obsessed with every book. Learn Your Lesson just took the #1 spot and is a top 2024 read for me.

Big shout out to Hannah Chiclana and Max Lindsey for bringing Chloe and Will to LIFE. I had already finished the book when I started the audio and it felt like a new experience. Everything I loved was amplified. Just wonderful performances and a perfect pairing.

“Show me you know what to do.”

“I never knew it could be like this. I always thought…” “You make me feel powerful. Sexy,” “Wanted.”

“Chloe was healing us, just by existing.”

“I miss her every day,” “But I have another confession to make, one that might affirm what a terrible person I am.” “Because I miss her, I do,” “But I miss you more.”

“One day, I was just a shadow of a man going through the motions, surviving. And the next, I had you. Suddenly, I was awake. Suddenly, I was smiling, and laughing, and longing for someone in a way I didn’t know was possible. You… you altered my fucking chemistry, Chloe. You obliterated the dark haze I’d existed in for years. You brought in the sun.”

“Because you are not the kind of woman any rule applies to. You are the exception. You are the one they’re meant to be broken for.”

All the stars, A top 2024 book.
