The Boyfriend Goal

Love and Hockey, Book 1

De: Lauren Blakely

Narrado por: Erin Mallon, Connor Crais

Performed with duet narration by Connor Crais and Erin Mallon!

A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country…

Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing.

Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me.

But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start.

In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also–wait for it–my brand new roommate.

I’m a good student turned good librarian. A rule-follower. I’m not the kind of girl who does complicated flings. So we agree to another rule: friends-only.

It’s not easy though. Wes is bossy, flirty and generous.

He gives me rides to work.

Pitches in at my library’s fundraiser.

Takes care of me when I get hurt.

And looks at me like I’m the only one.

Soon, I’m falling hard for my brother’s teammate.

Especially when Wes comes to my door and tells me exactly how he’d like to break our rules.

Every single one.

4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎧

Josie isn't one for a one-night stand but is trying to put herself out there. She has a list and is determined to do it. So, she jumps in her feet first. This is how she meets Wes.

Josie finds herself in need and asks her brother for help. Her apartment fell through, and she needs a place to stay. Of course, her brother wants to help but he has just had twins so he asks his teammates for help.

Enter Wes he is loyal to a fault and says he has a room for his teammate's sister. Only they are both surprised when they meet face-to-face again.

The chemistry between Josie and Wes is tangible and playful it's a fantastic story of falling in love with your friend. Of course, they both know it can't be more than friendship because of her brother but emotions don't care.

Can Wes have his girl and not rock the boat with his teammate?

I completely enjoyed the narration Erin is always lovely and makes listening effortless she becomes the character and I love how easy it is to listen. Connor give Wes depth and emotion I wasn't expecting and I loved it.

Loved it!

Josie and Wesley’s romance is a sweet with plenty of heat! I loved every moment of watching these two fall in love from their flirty banter to the friendship they developed all throughout the story. Their romance left me smile and my heart happy. This was the perfect flirty romcom.

Erin Mallon and Connor Crais were a perfect duo in bringing Josie and Wesley to life. Erin’s voice fit Josie’s quirky, sunny personality and Connor did great at showcasing Wesley’s cinnamon roll personality. Together they did amazing at delivering the banter between both characters.

Positive thoughts and energy about life and learning disabilities.

This is book is cleverly written to encourage positive thinking about people that have learning disabilities and understanding the learning disabilities themselves. Finding positive instead of focusing on the negatives. Great love story.

Yes!

This was everything I wanted it to be. So cute and witty. The narrators nailed it. I’m convinced Connor could read a dictionary and it would be 5 stars.

Fun time

Fun time, great 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️, and great representation! Actors were also spot on! Definitely recommend the series

Sweet and Perfect

The Boyfriend Goal was exactly what I hoped for when I picked up this story. Lauren Blakely always crafts a fun story that doesn't have a ton of angst, but is always funny, sweet, and super sexy and this one definitely fit the bill. Josie was a girl who knew what she wanted and despite it being outside of her comfort zone, she made it happen and I loved Wesley for her. He was just the right amount of supportive, sweet, funny, and filthy and their chemistry was perfect.

Not only was this story fantastic, but the audio narration in duet format by Connor Crais and Erin Mallon was absolutely perfect. Their voices blend so well together.

Great start of a new hockey series!

Josie is excited about starting her new job at the library. Just moving to town, her friend has offered Josie the couch in her apartment until she’s able to find a place of her own. While out getting to know her new city, Josie meets a handsome stranger. There’s immediate chemistry, and they spent a wonderful evening together. The next day, they go their separate ways.

After a series of odd events, Josie new apartment is no longer available. Her brother Christian, captain of a professional hockey player, asks his teammate, Wesley if he still has a spare room at his condo his sister can use temporarily. Wesley, being the great teammate he is, offers his room. When Christian introduces Josie to Wesley, they’re shocked to see just how small their world has become. Even though there’s still a strong attraction between them, they decide on a hands-off roomie relationship. As they spend time more time together and get to know each other, the hands-off portion proves to be more difficult.

I loved everything about this sweet, charming, and pretty steamy love story. Josie, the naughty librarian, and Wesley, the hockey player falling for his teammate’s sister. While living together, they took time to really know one another. Their love grew from strong chemistry at first, but over time, they became friends. It was such a joy to see everything unfold. Their banter and scorching heat was the best!

I adored Josie’s family and friends, and Wesley’s teammates. I can’t wait to see which teammate’s story will be next. This is the first book in the new Love and Hockey series from Lauren Blakely. Connor Crais and Erin Mallon beautifully narrated this story. They perfectly captured Wesley and Josie.

Great Narration and story line

Another touching story by Lauren with a little bit of spice and romance. It was an easy read/listen and one can never ever I mean ever go wrong with Connor Crais-is voice is one of my absolute favorites!!!

Sweet and Passionate Forbidden Romance!

This is the first book in the Love and Hockey Series, a Sports Romance. Josie and Wes's forbidden romance is sweet, passionate, and engaging. I liked the banter, and the sizzling chemistry. Erin Mallon and Connor Crais did an excellent job bringing this story to life. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listening to The Romance Line, the next book in the series.

One night stand turns into forever

This book has so much going for it. I loved that Josie had a life list from her aunt, including a list of things the now-passed aunt wants Josie to do. The first is to have a one-night stand with a stranger. Enter Wesley, the super hot hockey player. Neither share who they are, but both really wanted more than a one night stand. Fate heard them and now they are roommates and the list goes on together. As they grow better friends the sparks from their first encounter come back to life and they want more than a short-term living arrangement. There is Josie's brother to contend with, Wes's father, and many other obstacles to jump over, but they work through those to find their HEA. I loved the focus on reading, animal shelters, as well as having dyslexia, and ways to help with that. There are so many good lessons in this book and it was a great love story. I love how this author does the research to teach us lessons while giving us so much pleasure from her wonderful stories.

Erin Mallon and Connor Crais were both so enjoyable to listen to. Perfectly matched for these characters. I loved this book and highly recommend it.
