About this listen

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Pucked series comes a romantic comedy about instant attraction, second chances, and not-so-little white lies.

Sometimes I need an escape from the demands, the puck bunnies, and the notoriety that come with being an NHL team captain. I just want to be a normal guy for a few weeks. So when I leave Chicago for some peace and quiet, the last thing I expect is for a gorgeous woman to literally fall into my lap on a flight to Alaska. Even better, she has absolutely no idea who I am.

Lainey is the perfect escape from my life. My plan for seclusion becomes a monthlong sex fest punctuated with domestic bliss. But it ends just as abruptly as it began. When I’m called away on a family emergency, I realize too late that I have no way to contact Lainey.

A year later, a chance encounter throws Lainey and me together again. But I still have a lie hanging over my head, and Lainey’s keeping secrets of her own. With more than lust at stake, the truth may be our game changer.

This story is a fairly unique take on old tropes. Considering my previous listening experiences with this author, I'm a bit stymied why there are so many closed door parts in this book. I feel a bit cheated. Nevertheless. the story is interesting and other than stupidity / lack of communication at the beginning of the story, the characters are consistently smart. This is refreshing. There is a fair amount of cute in this story which helped hold my attention. The narration was fine.

Not My Cup of Tea

There were no surprises to the story, but it was still a nice romance. The details about the expansion draft were not realistic.





**Spoiler**





A player of Rooks caliber would not be left unprotected even if he asked to go to the expansion team. Chicago would want something for Rook such as other players, or draft picks. The team wouldn't just let him leave without any compensation which is what an expansion draft is.

The hockey trade details were wrong
