Until I Get You

Fairview Hockey, Book 1

By: Claire Contreras

Narrated by: Joe Arden, Kasha Kensington

3 years ago, she ruined my life. Now I'm going to return the favor…

My reputation at Fairview University preceded me. I was the projected number-one pick in the NHL draft and the fan favorite at the rink. People wanted to be me or be with me.

Except for Lyla James Marichal.

She didn't look at me like I was her next meal. She eyed me with disdain.

Instead of vying for my attention, she ignored me and pushed me away.

She was completely unattainable, and I became obsessed with her.

When I finally got her, it felt like I was on top of the world. I was going to help the team win another championship, going into the draft, and had Lyla by my side.

And then, without warning, she left me.

Vanished.

It took me three bitter, angry, long years to find her, but I did, and now she owes me a lot more than just an explanation.

Three years ago, she ruined my life.

Now, I was going to become her worst nightmare.

Loved

This was my first Claire Contreras book and I'm trying to figure out which one of her books to go to next. The only downfall to this book was when Kasha Kensington needed to switch to a manly voice especially when the man was upset and she needed to come across that way. Other then that I 10/10 recommend this book, it definitely kept me on my toes.

Lachlan Duke 🥵

Oh. My. Gosh. Lachlan Duke 🥵

I listened to this on Audible- and if you like audiobooks I HIGHLY recommend!!

Lachlan is hot and he knows it, he’s never had to do more than smile to get a girl, until Lyla. Lyla does everything she can to not bring attention to herself, her goal is to make it to graduation and get out of dodge as fast as possible so she can start a new life. Lachlan meets Lyla at a party and determines to make her his, but secrets from her past work to ensure they never make it. Fast forward 3 years and Lachlan decides to give up everything in an attempt to get Lyla back.

Whew y’all, this one was sooooooo freaking good. The spice, the suspense, the passion!

Beautiful Love Story

DESCRIPTION:
Lyla was what every man wanted and what every girl envied. She was amazing at soccer had friends that loved her and parents who adored her. Until two tragedies took place. Lachlan was a dick who never wanted anything with girls. He knew he could get whoever he wanted, until he met Lyla.

MY THOUGHTS:
I loved this book. There was every emotion you want in a book. You got angst, love, sadness, happiness, laughter, and at sometime felt angry. I love when an author can do that. What they can make you feel and that they can make you feel so deep for characters.

This could not be any better

I absolutely love the story. This is my second time listening to this audible within three weeks span. The narrators are on point the story is on point it makes you get teary-eyed joyful he gives you all the feelings that you need to feel in a story.

Loved this dark Romance

I’m obsessed with the dominant obsession romance and strong males with a little darkness and deception. Hot and steamy. Recommend.
