Winging It

Hockey Ever After, Book 1

By: Ashlyn Kane, Morgan James

Narrated by: Nick J. Russo

Hockey is Gabe Martin's life. Dante Baltierra just wants to have some fun on his way to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Falling for a teammate isn't in either game plan.

But plans change.

When Gabe gets outed, it turns his careful life upside-down. The chaos messes with his game and sends his team headlong into a losing streak. The last person he expects to pull him through it is Dante.

This season isn't going the way Dante thought it would. Gabe's sexuality doesn't faze him, but his own does. Dante's always been a "what you see is what you get" kind of guy, and having to hide his attraction to Gabe sucks. But so does losing, and his teammate needs him, so he puts in the effort to snap Gabe out of his funk.

He doesn't mean to fall in love with the guy.

Getting involved with a teammate is a bad idea, but Dante is shameless, funny, and brilliant at hockey. Gabe can't resist. Unfortunately, he struggles to share part of himself that he's hidden for years, and Dante chafes at hiding their relationship. Can they find their feet before the ice slips out from under them?

Winging It is the first book in the hot, hilarious, heartfelt Hockey Ever After series. If you like witty banter, friends to lovers, and sports romance, you'll love Winging It.

Amazing series and great book!!

Excellent narration — made me love Nick Russo as one of my top two favorite narrators. Fantastic first novel. Hilarious, sweet, original. Not sure why this book doesn’t have more reviews!!

At last!

I LOVE this series, and I am so glad it is getting the audiobooks it deserves. Literally my one single critique is the repeated mispronunciation of “mole” sauce. 😂Otherwise? Perfect. Highly recommend.

one of my fave hockey romances

So glad this finally got an audio! I’ve already listening to it twice 👏 such a great story and really well done narration too (although the narrator could have looked up the few Spanish words)

More clever than I anticipated

Well written, funny, and with likable characters. I wasn’t sold at first because I hadn’t ever read anything by either of these authors, and at the beginning of the book, the portion released as a sample, Dante was acting in a way that if I encountered similar antics in real life, I would classify as annoying. But I took a chance on the book because I didn’t have anything else to read, and I’m glad I did. Nick J Russo is a solid narrator, and I’m excited to see that some of the characters introduced in this first book will eventually get their own. There was a point in the middle of the story where I was a little concerned that some of the conflict was of that obnoxious, manufactured sort that inexperienced authors include just to extend the plot. But as I kept reading, I realized that actually, the characters did have good reasons for what they were doing, that made sense within the context of their development and the story as a whole. Definitely worth the credit.

Kind of boring

Definitely a good choice if you’re trying to relax and want little to no stress in a story. I honestly didn’t connect with any of the characters, and DNF with 4 hours left on the book. Just too boring.
