À propos de cet audio
The only way to get my inheritance? Marry Alexei Volkov—the grumpiest enforcer in the NHL, a brutally handsome jerk, and the last man I’d ever fall for.
In public, we act as besotted newlyweds, but in private, we’re at each other’s throats. He’s competitive, arrogant, and surly. The guy’s never cracked a smile in his life. He’s jealous of my ex, he glares at my high heels, and insists he’s not attracted to me. He’s only marrying me for citizenship.
Fighting with Alexei is more fun than expected, though, and beneath his grouchy exterior, Alexei is surprisingly caring, protective, and generous.
He cooks for me and worries about my safety.
He sends me flowers with secret meanings and spends way too much money on me.
He makes me sleep in his bed and calls me his wife.
For a guy who said he’d never fall in love with me, Alexei’s doing a good impression of it… and now I’m wondering if this marriage is fake after all.
Gloves Off is an enemies to lovers marriage of convenience hockey romance. It's the fourth book in the Vancouver Storm series but can be listened to as a standalone.

Lennox Kennedy is beautiful, loud, and the love of my life. She's also my ex-girlfriend. The first time I saw her after ten years apart, I slammed into the plexiglass minutes before our game was set to begin. The second time I threw up. The third time's a charm apparently because as my fiancée and I walked into an appointment to meet the woman hired to plan our nuptials—there she was again. Obviously, I did what any smart man would do—I called off the wedding. I don't have a plan per se, other than winning back the only girl I've ever loved.

If I had known how irrevocably my life was about to change, I would have walked the other way after talking to my coach. I should have taken any other route out of the Toronto Terror head office. But I didn’t and now–everything is different. At first I didn’t recognize the woman doing a victory dance down the hall when she thought no one was watching. Until she turned around. And that beautiful smile was aimed at me.

My dad and I have been estranged for years, but as his only living relative, it's no surprise I inherit his massive cattle ranch when he dies. But the stipulation in his will that requires me to live on the ranch and actively manage it for a year before I can access my inheritance money. I haven't stepped foot in Hartsville, Texas, population one thousand, since my parents split when I was six. Now a city girl through and through, I never imagined having to move back to cowboy country. But I need the money to invest in my company, and a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

Rosie Belmont has been driving me wild for years. The good kind of wild. The bad kind of wild. But mostly the kind of wild that comes with wanting your best friend’s little sister and knowing you can’t have her. After living in the city, she comes blasting back into Rose Hill like a storm. Beautiful, messy, and chaotic. And one wide-eyed desperate plea for a job is all it takes for me to hire her.

In Fiasco, Kentucky, there is one rule: never fall for a Foxx brother. Any woman who did, ended up dead—or so the rumor goes. Townies call it a curse. But I’ve lived it, and I won’t survive it again. I’m not a cop anymore, but I’ve seen enough danger to know that Laney Young, the beautiful stranger who just showed up in my small town, is running from it. She’s lying about where she came from and what she’s doing here. I don’t want her near my family or the quiet life I’ve made for myself. But my brothers have other plans.

I’m just so exhausted—always living on the edge of desperation, one paycheck away from ruin. But this new job… It could be the fresh start I need. It could change everything. The contract is only for three months, but if I keep my head down, work hard, and prove myself, maybe I could stay longer. Maybe I could make Black Mountain Lodge my home. As I pull down the gravel drive, surrounded by the forest and mountains and bright blue skies, I feel something I haven’t felt in a while. I feel hope.

I Laughed Out Loud and Loved Every Second
- Écrit par Rox Leblanc (Roxs Reads) le 2024-04-16
Auteur(s): Amy Daws
Let me start of by saying I love this series, and this book is a great addition to it. In terms of the standalones, Gloves Off would technically be my least favourite in the series so far, but shouldn't it say something that it's still an easy 4 star and that I am looking forward to reading it again when the series is complete and I do a re-read?
The only reason that it's "lowest" on the list is because I struggle on a good day with a heavy on the enemies-to-lovers trope, and knowing how much most people eat that up I would say this book will continue to get high star ratings! Stephanie Archer is such a fun writer (she's one of my "if she writes it I'll read it" authors), the spice spices well, and even though they aren't my first choice in couple or individual characters I still got attached to Alexei and Georgia and loved reading their story!
The series that keeps on giving
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
I don’t think I could love an enemy to lovers, the marriage of convenience, or possessive jealous hockey player tropes, to name a few, any more than I do with Gloves Off!
Their chemistry was fire on every page, even if they denied it as loathing hate! I thoroughly enjoyed the spirited writing of miscommunication and preconceived ideas which only added to the dynamic between Alexei and Georgia, getting you right in the heartstrings. JF Harding and Stella Hunter were absolute perfection, as Alexei and Georgia.
As always, the dynamic banter, friendships, hijinks, and love that this found family of hockey players has for one another will only make you love them more.
My only complaint about the release of this book is that I once again have to wait so long for the 5th book in the series, The Wild Card. While I hope that this series will continue for every single player and person involved with the Vancouver Storm, realistically, that is just the fan-girl in me not wanting this series and Stephaine’s brilliant writing of these characters and their found families to never end!
Hate to love…
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
ANOTHER great book by Stephanie! I wasn't sure I could get there with our enemies to lovers, but I should have had more faith in our Queen. Volkov was smoldery and possessive, the good doctor was sassy and smart and vulnerable. It was a great combo! I'm still Rory and Hazel forever but this was a fun further romp in this universe.

Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
Disclaimer that in this series, I only completed The Fake Out and just skimmed Behind the Net and The Wingman.
It's been a while since I've read a true enemies to lovers with banters that made me snort and spice that slowly simmered under your skin. The narrators gave life to Alexei and Georgia's characters.
I loved how we see each of their perspectives, how absolutely attracted they are to each other, but tries to hold on to denial and their hate for the other's nerves.
I do feel that it was longer than it should have, but I actually liked that their misunderstandings and their true personalities were revealed subtly. It wasn't the usual story where they hated each other in the first chapter and by the next one, they were all over each other.
I will probably go back and listen to this because of how entertained I was. Thank you to Stephanie Archer for sharing this fun read, and to JF Harding and Stella Hunter for giving life to Alexei Volkov and Georgia Greene!
