The heroine: Blakely - she is best friends with Penny from Those Three Little Words. She is outgoing and sometimes loud. She stands up for what she believes in and is loyal to her friends. She works in VIP sales and marketing for the Vancouver Agitators hockey team.

The Hero: Halsey Holmes - he plays Professional hockey for the Vancouver Agitators. His five best friends are also on the team. He lost his twin brother Holden a few years ago and has been a bit of a hermit ever since. He does go to Banff with his friends in the off-season as usual, though his friends are worried about him because all he does is read. He doesn’t talk much either.

The Story: Halsey is interested in Blakely from the first time he sees her. He thinks she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, and she is the first person to make him feel anything since his brother died. Unfortunately, he finds out she has a boyfriend right when he was about to ask her out. He has been crushing on Blakely ever since.

Blakely and her boyfriend broke up after he got a job in Australia and expected her to move away with him. Her job was and life in Vancouver and she didn’t want to move away with him. When her new apartment floods, she has to find a new apartment temporarily. Halsey’s friends offer up his spare room for her. Halsey has no reason to say no, especially when each of his friends chime in on the offer. So, Blakely moves in the next day. Since Blakely recently ended a long-term relationship, she isn’t interested in starting anything new, she plans to be just friends with Halsey.

I liked that this book has a cross-over with A not so meet cute, which is from the Cane Brothers series, also by Meghan Quinn. I listened to that audiobook recently and remembered Huxley Cane well. Blakely meets with him, and he offers her a job for which she might have to move to California. There weren’t any intimate scenes until more than halfway through the book, but once they finally hooked up, it was so hot!

This one was also so funny, I was laughing until tears were in my eyes, and I was wheezing like I was having an asthma attack. I swear every book in this series gets funnier and funnier. These characters are terrific and a laugh riot. When Halsey’s friends and Penny start offering him advice on how to get Blakely to fall in love with him, I was rolling every time they had a text conversation.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via duet narration and was narrated by Connor Crais and Erin Mallon. These are two of my favorite narrators. Connor Crais has a deep, sexy voice and Erin Mallon has a clear, feminine voice. Both are very pleasant. Additionally, there were a bunch of other narrators for the supporting characters. Teddy Hamilton, Jason Clarke, J.F. Harding, and Kelsey Navarro-Foster all do a terrific job as well.
