Rookie Recovery

Bobcat Boys, Book 1

De: Jemma Croft, Lex Easton

Narrado por: Jameson Adams, Tom North

Jamie Sullivan does not date hockey players.

As the PT for the Bringham Bobcats, he knows they're loud, cocky, and more trouble than they're worth. Not to mention painful reminders of the career ripped from his grasp a decade ago—a past he's desperate to leave behind. All he needs to do is finish his business course and open his own practice to be free of hockey forever. It's all going according to plan, until a dirty-mouthed young hotshot who won't take no for an answer waltzes into his office, and Jamie's forced to reconsider whether he's ready to give up on the game.

They call him a rising star, so why does Archie Bowman still feel like a rookie? Maybe it's the number of times he's been traded in his short career. Maybe it's the homesickness for the family, biscuits, and rugby he left behind in Britain. Or maybe it's how, despite everyone else buying his cocky act, he still isn't sure he belongs in the big leagues.

When an old shoulder injury resurfaces a few weeks before the season starts, Bowie's dream is at stake, and Jamie is just the doc to help him get it back. That is if their blossoming relationship doesn't cloud their judgment...

Don’t Make it Weird

This book was good eyeball reading but this audio brought the characters so perfectly to life! I adored them and this hockey player and PT were so perfect together!!

Characters seemed genuine. Good story.

Some of the narrative was drawn out a bit and repeated often. The use of “kitty” was both odd and annoying. I’d never call another person - of either sex - that name. The voices were good. Realistic.

The Narrator made it unlistenable

I really enjoyed this book.
The story was great and I really cared for the characters and wanted them to succeed and find love in each other.
However, the narrator doing Bowies voice made it unlistenable. The choices he made for the characters not being Bowie made them all sound ... there's no nice way of describing how he made them sound. I couldn't stand it.

Best hockey romance I've read all year!

Everything about this book & narration is perfection! It's now in my top 3 of hockey romances!

A nice mental break

It’s a romance novel. There’s a little angst but it’s not unbearable, it’s medically inaccurate and it’s a lovely way to fold laundry and commute.

It’s also very amusing and the narration is good. With, to be fair, the caveat that the cross national accents are terrible. Brit sounds Australian and the American sounds like a geriatric dude from Brooklyn. I guess that’s what we sound like to them. But it’s not Shakespeare so who cares and when they’re in their own country accents they’re both excellent. Especially the Brit narrated by the Brit he is hilarious.

Quick British Wit

Bowie was the life of the book. His voice and his quick remarks. The whole book was amazing and had such intense in depth detail.
