Love on the Ice

Narrated by: Ryan Patrick Morris

M/M Hockey Romance

Kieran Hunter:

High school reunions? Yeah, they're about as enjoyable as a root canal. This one's no exception. Flashbacks of those bullies, those epic wedgies, they all flood back as I step into this vortex of nostalgia-gone-wrong. Look at them now, the once-mighty jocks and cheerleaders turned into potato sacks with legs. Schadenfreude much? Don't mind me, I'm just here for the booze.

Speaking of booze, I spin around, and kaboom! There's Blake Byrne, looking as sinful as ever. Those blue eyes, the tattoos that make you wanna commit a crime just to get a closer look, and don't even get me started on that lip piercing. I mean, come on! But no, hold up. Not falling into that trap again. Blake and I? Yeah, that's a rollercoaster I've no intention of riding.

He humiliated me in a field full of his friends because he was too deep in the closet to come out. Blake, Mr. Popular, decided to make me his personal punching bag just to keep his closet door locked tight.

Nope. Not this time. This time things will be different.

I'm not sticking around for long, just a few days. And those days? Oh, they're dedicated to one thing and one thing only: Blake's sweet taste of payback. Revenge is a dish best-served cold.

Good thing my heart's already turned into a freezer.

Warning: This is MM sports second-chance novella romance, bully romance with mature themes. It contains explicit sexual scenes and language.

Editing and narration

Where's the editing? there are way too many miss pronounced words and names. This could have been a really good story. if you read the book don't listen to the audio. this narrator is terrible. I was looking forward to this sweet short second chance romance. I was very disappointed. I'll look at the other books when they come out but, IDK if I'll listen to them.

This book is not meant for audio format

I couldn't get through the first chapter. the book itself isn't super well written but it maybe could have been tolerable if it was read vs listened to ...? I don't even know that it was the narrators fault completely. . although his performance wasn't hitting the mark either soooo yeah... don't recommend.
