The Heart Stealer

Nolan U Hockey, Book 2

By: Katy Archer

Narrated by: Avery Caris, Ruben Reid

He's a hockey star with no strings attached and a life any other college student would be jealous of… but when he meets a girl with big green eyes and tears on her face, he's a goner.

When I open the door to our hockey frat house late one night and find a distraught woman shivering on the doorstep, every protective instinct inside me rises to the challenge. I'll do anything to help her and wipe that terrified look off her face. It doesn't matter that I've never seen her before and I don't know anything about her or even what happened.

That's the kind of guy I am. I'm the protector, the defenseman, the one who makes sure everyone is all right, on the ice and off it.

The more time I spend with her, the more I'm intrigued by her quiet smile and her unflinching grit. She's got more backbone and quicker defense reflexes than most hockey goalies I know. She's also keeping the truth locked down so tight that I still don't know exactly what happened to her that night, but the way she flinches at loud noises and the fear that flashes through her eyes tells me enough.

Someone hurt her.

And for some reason, the thought of that is more than I can handle. I'm determined to find out who did this to her, and then I'm going to make sure they'll never be able to hurt her again.

I've never felt like this before about a girl. I want to protect her, to keep her safe…. But I also want to make her mine.

The Heart Stealer is a standalone, slow-burn new adult hockey romance with no cheating and a guaranteed happy ending. Perfect for fans of Off-Campus by Elle Kennedy, Hashtag by Cambria Hebert, and Maple Hills by Hannah Grace.

Super vulnerable and empowering

This was such an emotional story. Once again the support these characters give to one another is astounding. Mikayla and Ethan are still such an energetic couple and here we get Rachel and Liam. Two of the sweetest people with dark secrets that have them forming a quick and powerful bond. Liam’s patience is astounding. You just have to read or listen. I look forward to the rest of the series!

Great characters

Did not care for the male performance. He did not sound like a hockey player. The story was great. Love the characters and their stories.

The Heart Stealer

My heart hurt for Rachel and everything she went through same for Liam. Both had been through hell but I think that helped them both really understand each other as well. I love how this series is emotional but still very sweet. The guys of hockey house are so very different, but they all so far have hearts of gold. I get the feeling the next book is going to be even more of wild ride then the first two, but I can’t wait to see more of Ethan and Mikayla and Liam and Rachel as the series continues.

Young Love 💕
