I was squealing with excitement to be approved for this audio! I was obsessed with Until I Get You so I was so excited when Claire Contreras came out with this book. Narrators Stephen Dexter and Janine Granda did a great job portraying Jocelyn and Finn. It is told in dual narration, although I would have loved to hear this in duet narration, but I enjoyed it none the less.

Jocelyn and Finn had chemistry and the spicy scenes were on point!
Jocelyn is a basketball player as well as a popular social media influencer. She is loved by her followers and all those she comes in contact with. Finn is the opposite of Jocelyn and is a broody, thirst trap pro hockey player. Jocelyn always saw the good and Finn gravitated toward her and wanted her to be his and only his.

The plot was great and took me down a twisty path that I fully enjoyed and kept me on my toes. This book had a bit of everything I enjoy such as banter, hockey, emotions, obsession, spice, secrets and suspense.

If you liked Until I Get You, I think you will like this book as well. It is a complete stand alone and you won't miss anything if you have not read Until I Get You. I loved that Lachlan and Lyla made an appearance in this book. It was fun to see where life had taken them.

If you enjoy sports romance, mutual pining, opposites attract, touch her and die vibes, then you will enjoy this book.

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Select for allowing me to voluntarily listen and give an honest review.

SPICY SPICY SPICY...I just wish there were more parts about actual hockey playing. This was a decent listen if you need an easy read/listen thriller with a ton of smexy parts.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started this book. At first it was similar to other hockey romances I have read, BUT the mystery focus and the intense ‘he falls first’ trope took it to another level. Finn and Josslyn met through Finn’s sister 3 years before the setting for this story. So many things happen - and when his sister winds up dead, Finn has some suspicions of Josslyn and some in her circle. They had such a great push and pull dynamic - not really an enemies to lovers type feel, but she definitely gave back as much as she took from Finn. Eventually, they both start looking into death together while also getting closer.
This story is packed with so many events that cause the reader to question everyone and everything. The narrators added so much to this story. They did such a great job with making tense moments more tense and swoony moments more swoony. I don’t want to give away anything, but I will say, while listening, there was a moment when I audibly gasped - and had people in the room with me look at me like I was crazy 😆 If you can, go into it as blind as possible - and enjoy the ride!!

I received a free ARC and this is my honest, voluntary review

The audiobook is DUEL narration, and it's done extremely well. The narrators brought the characters alive! I highly enjoyed this audiobook and finished it in 1.5 days. This book is so much MORE than a hockey romance. This book has a subplot of suspense twist, and I am here for it.
This is the second book I have read by Claries Contreras, and so far, I haven't been disappointed.
