Buffalo Tempest Hockey #1

ALC and ARC provided by Must Love Audio

Author: Sylvia Pierce

Narrators: Samantha Brentmoor and Teddy Hamilton

Eva Bradshaw, former Olympic figure skater, now single mom and skating instructor, can’t really pick her jobs, especially if they come with a hefty paycheck. Too bad her new one is to sort of  “reteach” an NFL hockey player how to skate again. She’s got a “no hockey players” policy for reasons, but she’s also got a six- year-old to feed. 

Walker Dunn has been a benchwarmer for months now and it’s not even for a hockey injury. He was in a car accident and badly hurt his knee. The accident also messed with his head. You see, hockey is his life. It’s not only his passion but it’s how he supports his mom and his brothers and he literally can’t afford to lose the job he loves. So, he will endure being coached by the princess sent his way.

It’s mutual hate at first sight… but we all know the thin line between love and hate and lust. It just complicates EVERYTHING. 

This was short and fun and steamy. I loved how they hated each other on principle but BOOM they can’t keep their hands off each other. 

The hard themes (ailing parent, single parenthood, fear of losing a career) are dealt with respect and depth for such a short audiobook. I also loved Eva’s daughter and her love of cool books. The kid is a hoot!

Let’s talk about audio because this one is special. Narrated dual style by Samantha Brentmoor and Teddy Hamilton, this is a delight. Teddy is great as the cocky yet vulnerable and soft on the inside arrogant puckboy. Now, Samantha totally shines! Her Eva is sassy, fun and determined but it’s when she has to voice Walker that the magic happens and she basically turns into Teddy! It’s THAT good – the inflections, the voice mannerisms, everything! All the stars, lady!
