About this listen
Reid doesn’t utter a word when he stops within two feet of me, even taller and more intimidating than yesterday because I think being on the ice is his superpower, and he looks like he can do anything on it.
My life takes an unexpected turn when I meet Reid "The Reaper" Pierce- the grumpy enforcer for the New Brunswick Wolverines.
When the gorgeous hockey bad boy is slapped with a fifteen-game suspension, he is forced to rebuild his tarnished image.
Reid reluctantly becomes an assistant coach for a youth hockey team.
A challenge, to say the least, for the broody, alpha left winger, given his lack of kid-friendly skills.
Enter me: Hollyn Mayfield.
I'm sunshine with a dash of nerdiness and a touch of self-consciousness.
I find myself thrust into the role of the other assistant coach.
My expertise? Mostly handing out juice boxes and snacks to kids during practice.
An unlikely duo, we strike a deal.
I'll help him ease up on the kids, reducing post-practice tears and parent complaints.
In return, he'll assist me in scoring a date with my crush, the head coach Weston Higgins.
Weston, as Reid points out, is a B-class wannabe.
Despite this, I remain determined to snag that date.
Reid agrees to teach me about hockey, hoping it will help me connect with Weston.
Along the way, though, he might want to keep me with his jersey number on my back.
Falling for the Pucking Grump is a Grumpy/Sunshine, Guy Falls First, Hockey Romance. This is Book 1 in the standalone series New Brunswick Wolverines.

Story
One of the cardinal rules of matchmaking I was positive I'd never break. That is until Nathan Wilder walked into Love Moore Matchmaking Agency, needing my help to find him the one. A tall order to ask since he was the most hated man in the NHL. Broody. Crude. Abrasive. The man was a six-foot-three walking red flag. Right off the bat, every fiber of my being told me he'd be trouble. He wasn't looking for love. It was all a PR stunt to clean up his image so he could keep playing for the Boston Guardians. But there was something in his sad, soulful eyes that just pulled me in.

Nerdy girls like me don’t stand a chance with hunky, billionaire hockey gods. Yet I’m dating one. And even though it’s a fake relationship, it sure doesn’t feel fake under the covers. I’ve never forgotten that deliriously sizzling night I met Noah Harrington. He rescued me from a wilderness car crash, and our physical connection alone electrified his cabin. He told me he'd never been married. But then I saw his wedding photos. No need sticking around for a liar. Years later, my brother gets me a job with his hockey team. And surprise. I meet his best friend, the team star: Noah, ...

My first year playing center for the brand-new AHL team, and things are off to a disastrous start. After losing my temper with the refs in front of a fan-filled arena, my coach devises a plan to “make me more likable.” It’s a horrible plan that isn’t going to work. He wants me to pretend to date a famous singer in hopes that her fans will become my fans. The last thing I want to do is date, pretend to date, or think about dating. Who has time for that when I have hockey games to win?

I didn't expect the hot stranger who helped me face my ex to end up being an NHL player and be interested in me. I really didn't expect his two teammates to also be interested in me. These men look at me like I'm everything they've ever dreamed of. Now I have all three men wanting my attention. And I want them all. Unfortunately, it might not be that simple. When it comes down to it, the hot nights, whispered words, and strong emotions might not be enough. I just hope that at the end of it all it will have been worth it.

Nash Richards was my first everything. First boyfriend, first time, first love. First heartbreak, too. In a former life, I used to religiously attend Lakeside U's hockey games. Then my ex-who-shall-not-be-named—the team's top defensive enforcer—cross-checked my heart into the boards, and I haven't set foot in that arena since. But when fate conspires against me, I'm assigned to complete my senior athletic training internship with Nash's team, and forced to work closely with the only guy I've ever loved. You know, the one who skated out of my life without looking back.

I've never been in love. I've never had an orgasm, but I've faked plenty. I want to experience love. Real, passionate love. I don't want to die. It's funny what blurts out of your mouth when the plane you're on is going down, and I didn't hold back with my seat mate when my plane decided to crash. My hysterical confessions didn't faze the muscular stranger that sat beside me. In fact, he promised if we survived, he'd give me my first orgasm.

Terrible narration
The story was decent but the AI narration ruined it for me. I've listened to other audiobooks with AI narration that were okay but this one is the worst. No distinction between character voices, close to monotone in parts. It really brought the experience down.
