Crush

Boston Brawlers Series, Book 3

By: June Winters

Narrated by: Troy Duran, Elizabeth Hart

Shea Ellis doesn't have time for love - all the Boston Brawlers captain wants is one last shot at the Cup before he retires. Besides, after his ex-wife did him dirty, the single dad isn't sure if he could love again. Hell, he'd be happy just to find a decent nanny to help with his three kids. Sure, the latest nanny to get a try-out, Brynn, is a babe. But the hottest thing about the bright-eyed 20-something isn't her sizzling figure - it's how fast his kids fall for her.

For a grizzled veteran, it's a pointless crush on a girl he knows he shouldn't have. And with the Brawlers marching toward the playoffs, the last thing he needs is a distraction. So why can't he get the cutie out of his mind? Can the hockey legend keep his eyes on the ice...and his hands off the nanny?

Brynn Conley never expected to nanny for her childhood crush. The pretty-boy rookie whose poster she painted with lipstick kisses all those years ago? He's a rugged man now. A salt-and-pepper single dad struggling with a troubled teen daughter and two wild twin boys.

The hockey star has aged like fine wine, but Brynn's not looking for love - she's got a job to do. And to Shea's delight, she's great with kids. It's a cruel irony for a young woman who can't have any children of her own. Brynn knows she shouldn't hook up with the athlete - the last thing she'd ever want to do is confuse the kids. But when her hunky boss wraps his big hockey hands around her waist, will she insist that their relationship remain professional? Or will it be the start of an ice-melting romance?

Contains mature themes.

Cute story

The story about Shay and Brynn is cute and I liked how real life struggles were meshed into it. Even going to therapy. I was definitely hoping he would try for full custody. Anyway, the part that really irked me was when he kept calling his daughter and the women he wanted to f - his girls. Several times. Add in the age difference and it just made the whole thing creepy. The HEA was cute but maybe a bit over the top. So many happy endings for basically everyone. If you have listened to one of the other two, I would def recommend listening to this one too.
One thing I never understood about the series is why so many of the characters kept adding “eh” at the end of senctences. Pretty much all of them were from Boston. “Eh” is a Canada thing. They do tend to pronounce the end of words sometimes a little bit like that, but the ones in those books was definitely more like the canadian version. Weird..

Cute romance

This one might have been my favorite of the series! Can’t wait to listen to more from June Winters!

Shea and Brynn

Another fun and entertaining addition to this series. This is a Shea and Brynn's story. A single father and Nanny. Crush is a sweet, sensual and adorable romance. I enjoyed going on this cute journey with them. Narration was great!

LOVED the ending

This book had a lot of character development and it was a great listen! I thoroughly enjoyed how the couple ended up actually getting with one another and the ending was so sweet.

great author!

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.
