Hidden Scars

Darby U Hockey Boys, Book 1

By: Andi Jaxon

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, Iggy Toma

Charles Preston Carmichael is the most infuriating man I've ever met.

I want to sock the golden boy of college hockey right in the mouth. He enjoys telling me everything I'm messing up—publicly. And since he's my roommate for the next year, I can't avoid him.

Yet there's something about him that makes me watch him. Something dark. A secret I want to uncover.

When he returns from a weekend away, broken and haunted, I can't keep my distance anymore. He needs someone, and I'll be damned if it's not me.

Soon my life no longer revolves around hockey but the nightmares he's living with. Desperately, I want to save him, but I can't. Only he can save himself.

Can I watch him destroy himself as he tries to hold tight to the things that matter, or will I be the final hit in the destruction of his life?

Hidden Scars is an MM enemies-to-lovers hockey romance with a jealous f*ck buddy and plenty of heat.

Loved this book!

5/5 ⭐️ 5/5 🌶

Such a good MM sports romance. *Check trigger warnings *

The narrators did such a good job. I genuinely couldn’t stop listening to them.

This book had me in a chokehold with a rollercoaster of emotions and I loved every minute of it.

Preston is a hockey player that is severely physically abused by his father. He has a lot of trauma that you see him work through in the book. He suppresses his emotions and pushes people away to keep them safe. His trauma is real and heavy to read, but I absolutely loved his story.

Jeremy is a hockey player that comes from a big accepting family. He has a new roommate (Preston) move in with him. Preston is a jerk, constantly judging what Jeremy eats and his lack of workouts. Jeremy starts to hate him, but also can’t stop thinking about him too. The spice was incredible too! It wasn’t overly smutty, but the scenes we got were HOT 🥵—I loved seeing their friendship develop into a relationship and the epilogue was the best! I honestly can’t wait to re read this!

Oh Gosh.. just perfect!

This book was just heart wrenching, it ripped me inside, but the love there put it all back together again. This book is a must read, must admit that this is a first for me with Andi’s writing, but i wasn’t disappoint thats for sure.
I am a cover slut so was a must since I am a fan of Andrew Murray.
Teddy and Iggy are another fav of mine and they just put the whole book on my radar.
Amazing all out..

I anxiously awaited the audio for this book

Hidden Scars was my top read of 2022. I was desperate for the audio to come out, because I knew the emotion of this story would come through even stronger being able to listen to it.

Teddy Hamilton and Iggy Toma did a wonderful job of bringing Preston and Jeremy to life. This story is so heavy with external turmoil and they really did it justice. It was well worth the wait and I am looking forward to relistening already.

Amazing beautiful

You won’t be able to stop once you start this amazing heart squeezing, sexy and super hot story. This characters will squeeze your heart and make you laugh at their antics at the same time. Absolutely amazing

Much better than expected

I don't like sports but luckily this wasn't too sportsy so no worries there. The story was really good and it had me up in my feels. There were also some things that happened that I didn't see coming so I'm glad it wasn't the typical predictable romance. Definitely give this one a shot even if it's not your typical deal.
