The Penalty

New York Gods, Book 3

I've been kept away from my destiny as long as I've been alive.

I'm the bastard, banished from Manhattan, and forbidden from my dream of playing college hockey for the Gods because no one can find out about me.

But now Dad's dead, and guess who's in the will? So my dream of playing for the Gods can finally come true, but I have to find my place in my half-brother's shadow while dealing with my rival Teddy, who's been a thorn in my side since juniors.

He's cocky, infuriating, and the biggest himbo I've ever met.

Half the time, I think he hates me. But it all comes out after a drunken night, and now I can't get him out of my head.

Exile is over, and I'm here to make their lives a living hell.

so funny k or me laughing

The story was adorable I Love Teddy! I laughed so hard I cried over and over and can't wait for more!

Hilarious..

This was so so funny and Teddy and Rhys are so cute.. love this book just as much as the other 2 books.
Totally recommend this book to lift your day up.

But what happens to Toby?

I never thought enjoy a “himbo” as much as Teddy but he was and absolute delight.However he was very smart when it came to matters that were important to him.His brother bothered me with how selfish he became and it seemed like he came to realize something about his best friend far to late for anything to have actually happend…Also I need to know if the friendship makes it which I’m not sure if I have any closure on that.Maybe another book 😉.

Favorite of the series

This was a really cute love story with excellent character development. Everyone should have a Teddy in their life.

Very enjoyable

Oh Teddy Bear I really enjoyed their love story it was funny af you will have several funny moments. You would think based off his behavior Teddy is younger not older its so cute. I will listen again. Highly recommended 💯
