sweet and dirty hockey romance

A sweet and curvy fmc who owns a smutty bookstore, and a book loving mmc who plays hockey. Lots of sweet smut and eewy gooey love.

Perfect love story

Oh my goodness. Listening to this book had my heart skipping beats and my body feeling the fuzzies lol. This is a great love story. Little angst but swoon worthy.
The narrators did amazing. Corvin King’s voice makes you feel all the feels when he narrates, there is no one better.

it was simple enough to enjoy

By no means is it a masterpiece, however if you want an easy listen you definitely can find it here. It was simple enough to enjoy: Meet cute, past baggage, working it all out, wallah finished. Its kinda like a hallmark move... just with a lot more spice.

My only issues to not give it a 5 star is that the back stories for the mfc and her sisters seemed a little to grandiose. That being said it still works to make the story enjoyable.

Meh

I purchased this only because I’m in a book slump and I love Corvin and legit that’s a terrible reason but meh… I did it because I love him, lo. but I must admit, it’s a bit disappointing. It’s kind of stupid and over-the-top, to be honest. I’ll finish it because I used a credit, but I’ll leave it at half-way. The characters aren’t well-developed, and the main female is quite immature. The topic itself is a bit too much, and it’s gross. Honestly, it’s just gross. If I were you.. Before I commit to reading it, I’d recommend checking it out on Kindle if it’s free. While it might be enjoyable for some, it’s not on the same level as Corvin King’s usual work. He’s usually more selective about his projects, so I was surprised he chose to make this homemade pornographic nonsense
