The Puck Drop

Central State

By: Jaqueline Snowe

Narrated by: Alex Mortensen, Louise Brenner

Michael Reiner has the new start he's been craving, where no one knows about his past. He can't play hockey anymore, and life without hockey seems daunting. But when he gets the chance to intern under the Central State hockey coach, he couldn't be happier. Until he finds out the mysterious hottie he met at the bar is the coach's daughter.

Naomi Fletcher-Simpson has always been the weird twin. She prefers spreadsheets and trivia nights while her popular sister is everyone's favorite. Things have been tense in her family, so when she gets a chance to pair up with the hockey team for a huge stats project, she takes it. She can repair her relationship with her dad and hopefully score her dream internship in the process.

Although they're complete opposites, Michael and Naomi slowly form a friendship that makes their chemistry sizzle, and friends with benefits is the only option to deal with their growing attraction. Michael can't afford to lose the internship, and Naomi can't afford to lose her heart.

For the guy who's suffered enough loss, and the girl who's always left behind, they can't risk falling in love—not when they both know all things come to an end, right?

Contains mature themes.

Slow

I could have lived without the sister. The book was pretty slow. Nothing exciting to really grab my attention.
