Six Seven

A Steamy Grumpy Sunshine, Forced Proximity MM Hockey Romance

By: Elliot Thole

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

He’s 6’7” of pure intimidation on the ice. His new social media manager is 5’8” of relentless sunshine. This PR nightmare is about to get very personal.

Callan “Cal” Thorne is the most feared enforcer in the league, a fortress of a man who uses his perpetual scowl to keep the world—and his own traumatic past—at arm's length. His career and his carefully constructed solitude depend on being intimidating, not relatable.

Enter Leo Reyes, the social media guru tasked with the impossible: rehabilitating the beast. Leo believes everyone has a story worth telling and that a heart beats under even the most hardened exterior. But Cal isn’t just a challenge; he's an immovable wall of silent fury.

When a brutal on-ice incident creates a media firestorm, management issues an ultimatum: a cross-country charity road trip. Forced into the front seat of a cramped rental car, the grumpy giant and the sunshine optimist are on a collision course.

The close quarters and endless miles begin to chip away at Cal’s armor, exposing the raw, aching vulnerability he’s hidden for years. What begins as a professional duty ignites into a slow-burn connection built on witty banter, shared secrets, and a chemistry so intense it threatens to set the whole car on fire. But as they start protecting each other from more than just bad press, the real world threatens to tear their fragile bond apart.

Great story in need of some editing

This is beautiful love story. The plot is original and its fairly well written. Unfortunately, the virtual voice is distracting with pronunciation errors, reading computer code intended as direction, and it seems that parts of it are either missing or redacted. There are no graphic sex scenes, but it’s obvious there’s a sexual relationship even though there’s no real hint of it. Since is free for Audible subscribers I’m ok with it, but if I’d paid for it I would ask for a refund.

I was really hopeful

The story I thought was great. The virtual voice completely ruined it.
I really tried to make it to the end, but it started skipping and not making any sense so you would get lost in the story .
The virtual voice was not accurate there’s one part where there was a single bed in the room, and it kept referring to two separate beds and kept saying all backslashes .

I would love to read this book myself. I think the story was great. I just feel the virtual voice really ruined it .I would be so thrilled if somebody actually narrated this I would be more than happy to listen to it again.

Mm

Like but kinda hard to follow. The book jumps back and forth but it wasn’t bad.

feels written by AI

There is next to no dialog. Practically the entire story is description. It uses the word "profound" about 380 times. there is also some background math that doesnt add up. particularly with Lily the little sister. The story says she is 8, but then implies she is in college (talks about buying books and living off noodles) then says she's going into middle school. really doesn't feel like this was written by a person.

Great Story

Love the story, but the narration can be a tad difficult to follow. Since its a AI Voice Narration, it doesn’t follow basic syntax or sentence structure. But overall, great book!
