Waiting to Play

Lake Spark Off-Season, Book 3

De: Evey Lyon

Narrado por: Parker Everly, Erik Bloomquist

It was one night trapped with a hockey god due to a hurricane. We shared one bed too. I also ignored the little fact that Vaughn has always been my brother's rival on the ice. And when the storm cleared, so did Vaughn. Months later, he shows up in my hospital room in Lake Spark where it only takes one look at me and the man is counting back in his head, or maybe it's my face that explains it all.

He's going to be a dad. And I didn't tell him.

His eyes inform me that he won't let me off easy. He wants answers to why I kept this a secret—and he quite possibly needs a scotch for his nerves too. Vaughn is soon adamant that he isn't going anywhere, especially as he is the new general manager of our hockey team that trains in town. He also has a list of demands that I owe him due to my secret keeping. Hence, why I move into his house. I'm not sure if developing feelings for a man with a wicked smirk is good for me or our child, but he's becoming more than my baby daddy. And it turns out that Vaughn's head has been working overtime, because the family image that I've dreamed about is the game that Vaughn seems to have been waiting to play . . .

Contains mature themes.

Lackluster Narration

I am disappointed I could not get into this audiobook the blurb seemed great but the female narrator just didn't do it for me. I tried to skip her chapters but still couldn't stomach it. Maybe I could try to read this and enjoy it.

Dear Author

The beginning of the book didn't match the end. It was undeveloped. Your narrators are tolerable at 3.5 times fast. Maybe use someone else for your next book.

Horrible FMC

The FMC was horrible, which ruined the story for me. She was selfish, and insecure with daddy/abandonment issues. She gets pregnant and avoids telling the father in every single interaction for almost the entire pregnancy. She even has sex with him again to avoid the subject. At every turn she talks herself out of telling him and then has the audacity to put it on him when he finds out about a month (by chance) before giving birth (again she still didn't want to tell him but had nowhere to run while in a hospital bed.) He has about 24 hours to come to terms with these news (not the almost 9 months she's had) and still jumps all in. Then after showing his commitment for a few months, being a good father and partner to her, a single comment of his thoughts in those 24 hours he had to acclimate to becoming a father and she's mad he thought this is not what he had planned for this moment in his life. We'll duh, it's an unplanned pregnancy and she was a one night stand. She once again overreacts and leaves him. Bottom line is that he deserved so much better. Even the bimbo Barbie would've been better, at least she wanted him. Who makes such a weak person a main character? Ugh what a waste of time and money! Also the animosity between him and her brother made no sense and it's never explained. The story was all over the place.
