Another great audiobook

Another great listen in this series. Loved the narrators and the story itself.

Harris is the veteran player for the San Antonio Hyenas and five years ago he had one night with his One Fiona, but she left and never contacted him again. He searched for her but never found her. Until one night he meets Fiona again, but she is not alone. He now has his woman back and a beautiful son too. He won't stop making Fiona his and nothing and nobody can stop him from claiming them. Instalove(5 years ago), second chance, sweet, romantic, steamy and safe (were both celibate while being separated) with an awesome HEA 😍😍😍😍😍
Harris was such a sweet and loving guy that wasn't even mad she hid his son. Such a saint 🥰But I was for his sake 😳 I think Fiona should have grovelled a little bit , but that's just me 😉

Harris, Fiona, and Lucas

Story: Harris (H36) is a veteran hockey player struggling with his career's decline and considering retirement. Five years ago, Harris had a one-night stand with Fiona (h), a night that changed both their lives. Harris never found Fiona again and never forgot about their intense night, and she likewise never forgot him, especially since she was left with a little reminder of that night—their son, Lucas. Fiona has raised Lucas as a single mother, never telling Harris about his existence. But when Lucas, now five years old, overhears that his father is a famous hockey player, he becomes determined to meet him, and when they do meet, Harris quickly realizes that Lucas is indeed his child and immediately embraces his role as a dad. Their family night at the hotel is so sweet and Harris just seems like he's so natural for being a parent. Love how Harris has found a new purpose in his life - the joy of family, inspiring him even on the ice. Harris and Fiona reconnect, and things quickly heat up between them. Sweet and spicy second chance, hockey romance with plenty of love and family.

Audio: The narrators did a really great job with this story and made for an entertaining audio version of a story I've previously read. The audiobook uses a male narrator and a female narrator – I always appreciate when an author goes for the additional costs of having two narrators in a duet style. Narrators Oliver Clarke and Brooklyn Young both do a great job with the tone and voice that they bring to Harris, Fiona, and other characters. I've enjoyed the variety of authors being used throughout the series with different narrators used for each book. The audio quality is good and there were no issues.

Good story - Fiona and Harris

I really enjoy Ms. Turner's writing. This was a really good book about a 36 year old hockey player and his one-night stand that produced a child. He does not learn about the child until five years later. The reunion with Fiona and his child Lucas was great. I love how he accepted the child and Fiona into his life. I also love how neither of them was with anyone else during their time apart. This book had a really nice HEA.
Oliver Clarke and Brooklyn Young did a great job with the narration. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Great book

This was a quick second chance romance. Fiona and Harris has one night together that made an impact for both. Fiona walked away with a gift while Harris was left looking everywhere for the woman he can't stop thinking about. These two were sweet and wonderful together and they finally get an HEA they both needed. Oliver Clarke and Brooklyn Young did a wonderful job being this book to life. I though Oliver did a awesome job with the grumpy growly Harris.

Meeting up with my one night stand

I liked this short novella of Harris and Fiona. They slept together one night and five years later he finds out he has a son. It was a fun read with a happy ending for all.
