Resumen del Editor

Charles Preston Carmichael is the most infuriating man I've ever met.

I want to sock the golden boy of college hockey right in the mouth. He enjoys telling me everything I'm messing up—publicly. And since he's my roommate for the next year, I can't avoid him.

Yet there's something about him that makes me watch him. Something dark. A secret I want to uncover.

When he returns from a weekend away, broken and haunted, I can't keep my distance anymore. He needs someone, and I'll be damned if it's not me.

Soon my life no longer revolves around hockey but the nightmares he's living with. Desperately, I want to save him, but I can't. Only he can save himself.

Can I watch him destroy himself as he tries to hold tight to the things that matter, or will I be the final hit in the destruction of his life?

Hidden Scars is an MM enemies-to-lovers hockey romance with a jealous f*ck buddy and plenty of heat.

Angsty, Healing, Beautiful Story

First, the narration was amazing. Teddy and Iggy are two of my favorite narrators, and they both do each of the main characters beautifully, bringing out the pain, love, sarcasm, and humor in each of the scenes.
This was one of my favorite books to read when it was first published because I absolutely adore heavy angst, but like others have said I love the love which heals Preston. I love Jeremy's family, especially his grandmother. I love the quilt scenes and what that represents to Preston. I love how even his teammates rally around him in the end.
I don't want to say more without spoiling too much of it, but I seriously loved everything about this book. I wish the author would write more heavy angst! The MM community needs more heavy angst like this!
If you love heavy angst, enemies to lovers, sports romance, strong family love on one side of the relationship, and a beautiful HEA then I highly recommend this story.

Yes just yes

I knew this was going to be good but it exceeded my expectations. I love books that have a bit of kink to them, particularly when it's not your run of the mill kinks or it's darker kinks. I also have the biggest weak spot for broken and tormented men and the one person who sees through their facade of being okay.

The love, intimacy, and the spice!!!

I love the characters being such polar opposites and ending up in such a spicy and sweet MM romance!

So Good!

As soon as I read the book I knew I needed the audio. The story is emotional and amazing. The performances were great for the characters as well. Love it!

Caught me in ALL the feels!

This book is so wonderfully written! I can’t say enough about how my heart hurt for the trauma our character went through and how I cried for him and his love when they found comfort in each others arms. Such an amazing read, I immediately bought book two when I was finished!

Wow!!!!

I went into this book now knowing what it was about and this is my first Andi Jaxon book. All I an say is wow!!! It was excellent, but heartbreaking. I don't think I've ever felt so much for a character before. I wanted to help, talk to and hug Preston throughout. I would rate this 10 stars if I could.

The narration was EXCELLENT as I expected it to be with both Teddy Hamilton and Iggy Toma. They did not disappoint and brought a lot to the story. I can't wait to listen to the next book in this series.

A story not for the faint of heart

This story is one of my favorites. I absolutely love it. I’ve read it and was ecstatic to see it coming to audio. Teddy Hamilton is fantastic as Preston and I actually really enjoyed Iggy Toma as Jeremy.

The story probably has triggers for some but let me tell you if it is something you can handle please do not miss it. This story will hit you in all of your feels.

Rough but beautiful story ❤️

Oh man was this rough in parts. I had to skip through some because I just couldn’t handle it. HUGE TW for abuse IN DETAIL. Despite that the story was just beautiful written I couldn’t stop listening. The way Jeremy helped Preston was just incredible. I also loved the parts with Jeremy’s family (I was cackling so hard at the Christmas part I woke my bf up 😂). If you can take the rougher parts it’s just a beautiful story, beautifully written and narrated.

Honestly….

Honestly when I read the first page and realized the MLs was being extremely abused. I considered dropping the book. My heart can’t take it. But after a day. My mind was nagging at me to at least give it a chance and HONESTLY I’m glad I did.

The hurt comfort is chefs kiss

The narration was amazing. Very graphic scenes so check trigger warnings. Hard to put down and I was constantly rooting for their happily ever after.
