Resumen del Editor

He's a professional hockey player trying to survive on his new team. I'm just trying to survive.

I'm down to my last dollar. I live day-to-day in a world that doesn't care. Despite my bad luck, I'm a fighter. I never give up. I never stop trying.

Ryan Parker's wealth and generosity set him apart from anyone I know. Yet, I don't trust him. It's nothing personal. I trust no one. But when my bad luck takes a turn for the worse, one person shows up. Ryan Parker.

I do not understand why he bothered because the guy has enough of his own issues to deal with. But I don't have a choice. I need him. It's a matter of survival.

His friendship changed everything. It changed me. I started to believe in myself. I allowed myself to trust. And for the first time in a long time, I felt my heart beat again.

Contains mature themes.

Story: good. Narrative: awful

I had a large number of audible books, and have never understood why anyone would want to change the speed—until now. Male narrative is so slow, I had to go to 1.25 for the Ryan chapters, and switch back to normal 1.0 for Zoe. Pretty much a pain. And while the story is good, it was a little too long and drawn out.

Good story, but...

One voice actor was a bit off. The dude (Alex Kydd) sounds like a creeper (I’m sorry, but it’s true) I’m wondering if that was his way of sounding Canadian? Either way, it failed. He was also a slow narrator (another character choice?) and that added to the creep factor and made the character sound unintelligent and dim witted. His Russian accent was good though, it was just the right amount of rough guttural to sound plausible without butchering the words. Overall, his voice wasn’t so bad to distract me from liking this story.
The story was good, with (very) slow character development. Angsty, with some good humor, revolving emotional doors that make you teary eyed, one seriously questionable decision, obsession with IKEA furniture, and a strong female character breakdown/build up.
Nice story, even if delivery (both voice and author) was a little off.

Loved every minute of this book

Several of this authors books are interconnected whether they are in the same series or not. I didn’t think that any of Odette’s books could live up to the Russian Mafia one about Olivia and Andrushka (probs butchered that spelling) - and then I read this one. My heart clenched so many times and I definitely shed more than a few tears. Such an all-around amazing book. The narrators are both good though neither are favorites of mine, but there weren’t any noticeable issues with the narration.

Absolutely a great story !

A homeless girl being rescued and given shelter by the handsome wealthy super supportive hockey player .
Zoey couldn’t believe that Ryan was helping her without not wanting something in return, after all she believes that was how all men operated.
But Ryan was here to proved otherwise, transferred to Vancouver where he was struggling to mesh with a team that seemingly didn’t want him around when he found Zoey who became his only friend apart from his agent.
Ryan was determined to help Zoey despite her protest.
But Zoey had a secret that threatened the new life she thought she could have after living on the streets for so long .

I Loved Ryan in how sweet attentive and kind he’s been towards Zoey .. loved how patient and possessive he’s become… but hated the part where he took his mom advice but then he wouldn’t be who he is ..a good person through and through .

While there’s part about this story I can’t get with I thought the Narrators did an amazing Job bring the Characters and story to life !
Alex Kydd who I have listened to before and Madeleine Dauber who’s new to me were so good on this audio love them !

Definitely a good one for me ..

I love this book

Enjoyed this book very much. Plan on reading more by this author. She is great

Slow burn hockey romance

I have been looking for another slow burn romance and this book was exactly what I needed. I wasn’t sure the author could pull off the power differential between the characters, but I think she navigates this well in the end.

Fantastic!

Loved this story. Kept me intrigued. Enough angyst, humor, sadness, happiness, & spice. I will be listening to next book. Narration was great. Although, the female narrator sounded like she just read the script, without enthusiasm...she did not have an irritating voice, so it was great!

OMG

Absolutely the best book I have heard.
will definitely be listening to it again.

Great sport story.

___________________________________________
Its a kind of pretty women story except she's homeless and not hooking.

She has to start believing more in herself and seeing herself as others do.

He's a hockey player trying to fit in to his new team. But he came to the team with some strikes again him from the start.

I love sport stories and this won was a winner.

I loved this story. So worth the cost.

Vocal artist did a great job.

Really enjoyed it!!

Perfectly written. I got all the feels. Ryan is such a sweet heart. A hard man and and understanding boy all wrapped up in one athletic body. Zoey should be mad at the world, but she just needed a little help to reach her full strength. I’m glad she kept her edge. Poor Ryan had the patience of God himself!
