Face Off

Seattle Serpents, Book 2

By: Teagan Hunter

Narrated by: Emma Wilder, Aaron Shedlock

I have two goals this season:

1. Stay single.

2. Get Rory Sinclair to admit she doesn't completely hate me.

When I find a stray dog roaming the streets of Seattle, the last place I expect to end up is in the office of a grumpy veterinarian-the one woman who can resist my charm. Twin to my teammate's girlfriend, Rory is full of fire, but I'm not afraid of her flame.

It doesn't take long for me to realize that the more time we spend together, the more I want it to last. But no matter how hard I try, Rory only sees me as a playboy, refusing to take me seriously.

One weekend trip to a cabin later, I think I have my in . . . but only if I can get her to admit her feelings toward me aren't all bad.

Only one of us will win this face-off, and I intend for it to be me.

A hockey romance with the cutest puppy!

I have totally read this series all out of order, but I’ve still absolutely enjoyed each audiobook.

This book has the cutest stray puppy, Daisy, who turns a big, bad hockey player to mush, and he promptly falls for the prickly veterinarian. I always love the hate-to-love vibes that come with an enemies-to-lovers romance, and the moment when Rory finally gives in to her feelings for Lucas was perfect!

Emma is such a fantastic voice actor. I always love her performances, and she brought the goods here. Aaron was charming as Lucas. These two got me in my feels with just the right balance of laughter and tension.

If you’re looking for a hockey series with characters who are believable, moments that are funny and feely, and bedroom antics that will rock your world, the SEATTLE SERPENTS series is for you!

4 Stars!

I loved the grumpy/sunshine vibes from Rory and Lawson! Lawson is such golden retriever energy, and then you add in a puppy, and that put him over the top. I loved seeing him push Rory more and more. They are very cute together, and Rory really needs someone like him more than she will let herself admit. I really enjoyed reading their story!

Prepare to swoon!

This story is narrated in dual by Aaron Shedlock & Emma Wilder who did a great work: every bit of banter, tension, and emotional depth is brought to life in a way that makes this story utterly sweet

Lucas isn’t just a cocky hockey player; he’s layered and that makes him irresistible.
Rory is a dedicated vet and twin sister to his teammate’s girlfriend (Aiden and Hutch). She is a badass, no-nonsense heroine.
Their link? Daisy the chocolate labradoodle found in a dumpster…

If you love swoony MMCs, sassy heroines, and slow-burn goodness, this one is for you!
