Audiobook

The story and characters were well written and nicely developed. I enjoyed the chemistry and journey. Good read.

Great narration and writing style

Great narration combined with a uniquely interesting writing style… writing is entertaining. The characters are relatable but flawed. They are redeeming enough to want an HEA but the males are bad enough to be attractive.

Enjoyable

I liked these stories about the hockey guys finding love. The one thing that bugged me was the order they were listed in the set.
Timeline wise I feel like 2143 would’ve worked better. And if I come back that’s the order I’ll listen to it. :)

Wonderful Series

The narrators did a wonderful performance. They really added to the experience of these books. A J Summers has written a hockey series about dominant, possessive but very lovable men who find love. I really enjoyed each couple and their struggles are so real. It is so hard to pick a fave cause each couple and trope keep you hooked till the end. I highly recommend this must read series.

For The Pucking Fake Marriage

I previously listened to the audiobook The Pucking Grump and didn't like it (original review below). I didn't like the male lead and I didn't care for the narrator. But when I got the opportunity to get my hands on the boxset, I was interesting in The Pucking Fake Marriage and decided to give it another try.

I really liked this one. I love the fake marriage trope, so I couldn't wait to see how it would play out. I liked both Charlie and Ken and the dynamic and history between them. I was quickly hooked. Thankfully this is a different narrator than Grump. I thought Shane Martinez did a good job with the female characters. Male characters were okay. Not a convincing male voice- though I understand how difficult that can be for female narrators.

Overall: 4 stars
Performance: 3 stars
Story: 4 stars

I didn't listen to Bad Boy or Boyfriend at the time of this review, but here is my original review of The Pucking Grump-

This storyline at its basic plot isn't a new one for me- though usually it involves a mountain man instead of a hockey player. Popstar Faye is famous and this was supposed to be the 'wedding of the century,' until she found her fiancé cheating on her with her step sister, no one else seemed to care, and he had no remorse or guilt. So she ran. There is more to her situation, and the more we learn of it, the sadder her story is. I didn't really like Blake at all. From his first chapter I found him judgmental, cynical, cold, and very quick to make assumptions in a condescending way. I honestly wondered if he would have helped her if he didn't find her attractive. They were clearly meant to be seen as opposites, and while I usually like a grumpy character, he never grew on me. Being this was enemies-to-lovers, I didn't care for their dynamic. Honestly, I stopped listening after a while.

This is the first book I've listened to narrated by Martina Ciccia. She did fine with the female voices, but not so well with the male. I can understand that it's hard for a female narrator to deepen her voice convincingly for the male characters. I just find it distracting because if I were mocking a man's tone of voice, I would talk in that same tone. So it's harder for me to take seriously.

Hockey and Emotions

Shane Martinez and Martina Ciccia narrated this series with perfection. With a state of various emotions for each book, the narrators did wonderfully in expressing them. The emotional pain and anger were performed with such intensity and finesse that I almost felt it was watching it happen. Their performances of the characters were spot on with how I read them, which was great. I really enjoyed listening to this series.
