Player on Ice

Boys of Winter, Book 5

By: S.R. Grey

Narrated by: Reagan West

Jaxon Holland is more than a top-scoring center for the Las Vegas Wolves - he’s also the biggest “player” on the team. Women love him, flock to him, lust for his sculpted body.

Yeah, life is good for this hockey player. Or it was, until lately.

After blowing a key play in what may have been the biggest game of the season, the fans sour on Jaxon. Good thing memories are short, right? Uh, they’re not when a widely popular sports blogger, known simply as Mr. Hockeypants, calls Jaxon out and places all the blame for the loss on him.

Life goes from bad to worse, and Jaxon wants to get away.

Good thing one of his teammates has a beautiful, secluded beach house he can escape to. Sand, sun, surf, and lots of alone time sound good to this disgruntled centerman. Only problem is the beach house is already occupied - by beautiful and spunky Cara Milne.

Cara and Jaxon are off to a rocky start after an extremely awkward first meeting. Yeah, these two pretty much hate each other. But Jaxon, forever a “player” at heart, vows to win his housemate over. What he doesn’t know is Cara is Mr. Hockeypants! His worst enemy, the bane of his existence! And she’s determined that he never finds out.

Too bad keeping a secret is slipperier than ice, especially when you start falling in love with the guy you almost destroyed.

Player on Ice is the fifth stand-alone novel in the best-selling Boys of Winter hockey romance series. Each book in the Boys of Winter series features a different smoking hot hockey player's story.

Mr. Hockeypants

I have listened to several books in this series so I'm invested in these relationship. Jaxon Holland and Cara find themselves in a less than ideal situation. Cara has a BIG secrets. Acting on there feelings have them in a possibly great place but once again Mr. Hockeypants has everything crumbling in their world. Can Cara and Jaxon over come?! Reagan West does and amazing job, well done.

Another good hockey story in this series

This enemies to lovers romance was a really good read. Jaxon was really easy to fall in love with. I loved how he fell head over heals for Cara and didn't hesitate to show her even when she wasn't ready. Cara made some mistakes along the way and this is one of those stories where you know what she is doing is going to come back at her, but it was a good story.

The narration was good, although I would have enjoyed it more to have a man read Jaxon's part, but it didn't detract from the story at all. Such a good series!

Love Hockey then you need to listen to this series

Book 5 in the Boys if Winter Series and just when you think it can’t get any better S.R. Grey gives us an even more adorable hockey hottie to fall in love with this time it’s Jaxon Holland’s story.
Jaxon is not only a top player for the Las Vegas Wolves he is also a top player with the ladies well at least he was until he messed a play up an a blogger known only by Mr Hockeypants gets on his case making his life miserable. The off season has come just at the right time and he takes up a teammates offer of a few weeks in a secluded beach house what he doesn’t expect is the house to be already occupied by a stunning sassy girl named Cara Milne.
What starts off very rocky soon becomes a romance made in heaven when Jaxon turns in his charm to win Cara over and just when you think they have both found their soulmate a bombshell drops ....Mr Hockeypants is really a Ms. Can Jaxon ever forgive the person who made his life a misery.
Boys of Winter is one of my favourite hockey series and S.R.Grey has become one of my go to authors, I love her style of writing and I’m loving the narration of this great series. Each book can be read or listened to as a stand-alone. The narrator did a great job with the banter and the chemistry was electrifying.

Sweet, hot, and fun Story!

This is the fifth book in the Boys of Winter Series. I love this Series, and this is a really sweet, sexy, hot and fun listen. Cara and Jaxon are both great characters! Jaxon is a hockey player and Cara a sport blogger who write under the name of Mr. Hockeypants. They share an undeniable chemistry. I love their happy ending. I have already read the next book in the Series, Vows on Ice, and I totally recommend it. The narration was well done, and easy to understand. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Relationship on thin ice

Another hockey romance with a twist. I liked the story line and the climax of the story. Narration was good and was a first for me. worth the listen.

Loved listening to this so much!

I thought the narrator did a fantastic job narrating both female and male characters and I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and the way she told it.
Jaxon Holland is a hockey player and after getting side tracked at a game which causes the team to lose and getting a scathing blog post written about him, he decides to escape for a while.
Cara and her best friend want to escape the everyday by going to Noelle’s brothers beach house for the summer. Needless to say when Cara has to go on her own, she’s a bit disappointed.
What Cara and Jaxon don’t count on, is there being another person at the same beach house. Good god the whole book had witty banter, extreme sexual tension that you could cut with a knife and characters that just made the story so enjoyable you didn’t want it to end.
Cara is hiding a huge secret and when Jaxon finds out the truth, albeit not in a good way, he gets very angry. What they both don’t count on is feelings getting in the way. Do they get past this betrayal? Is there a happy ever after for them?? Well I’m keeping my mouth shut. I highly recommend you reading/listening for yourself. I loved the fact that Dylan gave Jaxon some amazing advice, I really loved his book and this one is a superb addition to the Bad Boys of Winter series

Love the Vegas Wolves!

Reagan West narrates this dual POV flawlessly switching between characters in ways not all narrators are able to do. With a great story mostly happening off season and away from the ice it featured team bad boy/heart throb Jax Holland and his arch nemesis Cara Milne. With lots of laugh-out-loud moments and plenty of sexy times too I can count on S.R. Grey to always deliver what has become one of my favorite sports romance series to date.

The players aren't on the ice for this one.

This story was fun and flirty. A bit sexy. I liked the banter, but there was nothing that just blew my mind in this one. I will admit to only reading the first in this series, but this can still be read as a standalone--I never felt lost or confused while reading this. I liked the first book more than I liked this one, but this is still a solid book.

The story was just predictable. And I realize it's romance and it has a method to follow, but I was just looking for a little more wow factor, I guess.

Either way, this is still a fun-filled, banter-filled story with some hot sexy times. If you like your hockey romance to involve little to no hockey and lots of back and forth with the characters, then this is your cup of tea.

Maybe it's even your Stanley Cup of tea.

A cool listen

Reagan was fantastic. Her voice is smooth, sexy, clear and strong. She did all the characters perfectly

Another great story in the series

I just can't get enough of these books they are a great listen. Reagan West tells the story so well she is so good at giving each character a different voice.
