Boston Rebels, Book 3

By: Julia Connors

Narrated by: Sebastian York, Angelina Rocca

Some people might call it a grudge, but in reality, hating Alessandra Jones is more like an obsession. AJ is the league’s first female general manager, and my boss. As the team captain, I have to play nice with her—in public, at least. But in private, the gloves come off. And then one time, our clothes do too.

We vow it won’t happen again. Not only can we not stand each other, but we’re in tense negotiations over my contract right now, and AJ is up for the league’s GM of the Year award. Getting involved wouldn’t just be a PR nightmare—it would be unethical. It doesn’t help that we have a history, or that she and my daughter adore each other.

When AJ is injured protecting my baby, there’s no choice but to move her into my place. Taking care of someone I hate shouldn’t feel so right. Getting to know her better shouldn’t break down my defenses. She’s hurt me once before, and I’d be a fool to trust her again. But the more time we spend together, the more I realize that maybe I’m not obsessed with hating her...maybe I’m just obsessed with her.

Not Your Average Romcom!!

I listened to this audiobook as a palate cleanser—something lighter after a string of dark, heavy reads. I was not expecting to fall head over heels for it. What I assumed would be your typical sports romance with a strong female lead turned out to be so much more.

From the razor-sharp wit and fast-paced banter to the incredible character development and toe-curling steam, this book is a rare gem. It's a true unicorn of rom-coms. It’s smart, sexy, and laugh-out-loud funny in all the right ways. (Let’s be honest, finding a rom-com this spicy and well-written is no easy feat!)

If I could give it a thousand stars, I would.

I highly, recommend listening to this one on audio. The banter comes alive, the chemistry sizzles, and the overall experience is just on another level. Trust me, this is one you’ll want to hear, not just read.

Amazing, Amazing

Omg this is my favorite book so far in the series. I loved them both so much. The strength and support between them is admiring. Fabulous writing. Highly recommend this series. Great rom com

5 Stars. Full Stop.

Three of my favorite tropes in one book! Single Dad, Hockey, Reverse Age Gap. I mean, it had to be good right!

I love this series so much.

The FMC is a strong boss lady and doesn't take ANYTHING from anyone.

McCabe will do ANYTHING to take care of his daughter.

And they can't stand each other. But those reasons seem to be wrapped up in a secret or two that will change everything.

Soon, McCabe is changing his tune about leave the Rebels and doing everything in his power to stay wherever AJ is, no matter what the cost.

Such incredible characters, growth and the deepest of connections. 5 Stars. Full Stop.

Angelina Rocca & Sebastian York were the absolute perfect choices for these characters. They brought AJ & McCabe to life exactly as I imagined when reading this originally. And it made a book I already loved even better.

Loved McCabe and AJ’s story come to life!

I enjoyed listening to the narrators bring the tension, the drama, and the spicy moments to fruition. Don’t miss out on experiencing some of your favorite moments from the book on audio!

Making One's Career

Sebastian York as Ronan was spot with his deep charismatic voice that sent chills down my spine. It was a perfect match to Angelina Rocca’s raspy red nation of AJ. These two absolutely complimented each other in this audio. I did not want to put it down.

I voluntarily leave this review.
