Offside

Rules of the Game, Book 1

By: Avery Keelan

Narrated by: Stella Bloom, Gabriel Spires

After being dumped on her 21st birthday, Bailey James rebounds right into the arms of her ex’s biggest competition...

Chase Carter: antagonizer, womanizer, and infamous left winger for her college’s rival team.

Following a string of scandals and substandard grades, Chase is on thin ice with his teammates and tyrannical coach. The last thing he needs is to have his focus and loyalty called into question by fraternizing with his team’s #1 competition, but a beautiful stranger who throws herself at him one night is too tempting to pass up...until she throws up on his shoes.

Caught in the midst of a bitter rivalry that extends far beyond the arena, Chase and Bailey are on opposite sides of the bench. He’s worked his entire life to secure a future in the NHL. She’s tagged along while her brother has done the same. Fraternizing with the enemy is definitely out of the question, but what if the enemy is impossible to resist?

Offside is a steamy new adult college romance. It is book one of the Rules Of The Game series but can be listened to as a complete standalone.

Offside: Rules Of The Game, Part 1

The main character {Chase} was egocentric, controlling and had anger issues.
Less explicit sex would have been a plus.

Hooked me from the beginning

I have read a lot of hockey romance recently, but this one really caught my eye. From the first interaction I was hooked. The dynamic was great, I loved their friends, and things seemed very realistic which I do appreciate. Narrators were fantastic and I can be fairly particular. 10/10 would recommend

One of the best

By far one of my favorite sports romance books. The book was so well written and beautifully performed. A must read.

Hockey romance

These days you can easily find a plethora of hockey romances available. I’d heard really good things about this book. The beginning was strong. I liked the characters and felt back for Bailey as her ex is a giant tool. That being said, this book is extremely long and I don’t think it needs to be over 500 pages. I found myself bored due to the length of the book. The audio helped as I think I would’ve struggled to finish reading it otherwise. Enjoyed the narrators.

So much hockey!

I really liked this story with Bailey & Chase They were definitely meant for each other even with all the stuff that happened especially with her horrible ex. The romance was really good and I loved how much hockey that was in this.
