About this listen

As seen on TikTok!

Fate takes a slap shot at Emma's heart when she finds a driver's license outside a grocery store belonging to none other than Tyler Bowen: the center for her brother's hockey team with looks that scream "plenty of scoring off the ice".

Her overprotective brother warns her to stay away, but after a particularly patronizing comment, Emma decides to break free from the defense. Sean has always tried to control her relationships, and at 29, she's had enough.

Emma convinces Tyler to mess with Sean and pretend they're in a relationship for just one night. Little does she know that Tyler has a surprise in his playbook. He needs Emma's assistance to face a formidable opponent: his father, the ultimate player of hearts.

It was supposed to be all fun and games, but when the photography studio Emma works for is sold unexpectedly and Tyler's dad offers her a job, she realizes she may have glided too far into enemy territory.

In Against the Boards, the stakes are higher than a sudden-death overtime.

Emma can't fall for a player. But Tyler's game is proving difficult to ignore.

Can she deliver the ultimate power play and skate away unscathed, or will love prove to be the most unpredictable game of all?

Against the Boards

I heard bits of this story on Tik Tok and loved it. I actually starting following cynthiagwrites because of her story telling videos.
I really enjoyed the author’s voice on Tik Tok, so I was happy that Audible gave her the creative freedom to narrate, too.
I was also impressed that the author knew what she was talking about when using hockey terms. Often times, authors don’t sound knowledgeable when using some references.
I liked the story, and if I had to give critical feedback I would say it could be saucier . Em lands a hottie , and the reader hardly had more than two chapters, of them getting together, and it is G Rated .

Adorable fun read

This book is the perfect escape from real life. It’s funny and cute. The characters are easy to fall in love with and it’s got swoon worthy moments without feeling like you’re reading an anatomy lesson.

Funny hockey romp

Loved the hockey references. There is some sadness in the story but overall I laughed most of the time.
