About this listen
Jett Olsson isn’t looking for anything serious, and she’s not looking for anything at all, so why does it seem so hard to keep it professional?
I love my life - the thrill of being on the ice as part of the Arizona Vengeance, the rush of winning, the adoration of the fans. And if that adoration means I don’t have to spend the night alone, well even better. I’m content being single and always ready to mingle. But the day Emory Holland walks into a Vengeance team meeting, my attention is caught like never before. I can tell right away she’s full of smarts and sass, and the fact that she’s hot as hell sure doesn’t hurt either. She immediately shuts down my advances, so I opt for the road less traveled - straight to the friend zone.
My approach works like a charm, and when she invites me into her bed for a no-strings, friends-with-benefits arrangement, I vow to give her everything I have. She’s been hurt before, and if I’m able to help her heal while giving her a spectacularly satisfying time (pats self on back), then I’ll be happy. Or at least, that’s the lie I keep telling myself, as the time ticks down on the final buzzer of our “relationship”. Now the real question is, can I score the winning goal in a game neither of us realized we were playing?
©2021 Sawyer Bennett (P)2021 Sawyer BennettJett Olsen is happy with his lot in life. Playing for a top ice hockey team, The Vengence, where it’s more like family than colleagues? Check! Gorgeous, Viking looks? Check! Adoring fans? A different lady each night with no strings attached? Check & Check what else could one ask for? Definitely not a gorgeous and sexy single mother, Emory Holland! After his advances are turned down and he’s friend-zoned, like a moth to a flame, Jett's attention is piqued. Will Jett be ok with his no strings attached attitude he’d enjoyed before her? Or will her British wit and lovely daughter, Jett has grown fond of, score the winning goal in his heart?
I love Sawyer bents writing and this latest serving is another great addition to the vengeance world BUT.
TOR THOM - Jett Olsen. At the first, I found Tor Thom a little nasally, but that soon dissipated and became more enjoyable and the fact Jet is Scandinavian and referenced as having a slight accent, tor’s standard American accent threw me off a little. Nothing major
EMMA WILDER - Emery Holland. OK. Let me first start by saying Emma wilder did a great job. She has a lovely voice and style however, as a Brit, I instantly knew she wasn’t one of us! certain words had the nails down a blackboard effect on me from both narrators to be fair. It’s the standard go-to accent some, non-British actors go with as the accent and rhythm of sentences doesn’t exist in England! And the use of certain words such as elevator instead of the lift. And so on Even if Emma’s accent has been slightly Americanised, it wouldn’t sound JD like that. It’s not exactly Don Cheadle in Oceans 11, so please do not be put off by my observation. RP English is not the easiest, even for some Brits.

Each of these players has such a different personality and Sawyer Bennett matches her narrators on point! Jett is sweet, yet has an alpha tendency. He wants to protect and love, and Tor Thom has the voice to bring him to life. His smooth baritone the perfect casting for Jett. Emory needs that little bit of Brit and Emma Wilder does it so well. Wilder is amazing when it comes to the emotional pull. Emory has a lot on her plate and goes through a range of feelings we all get to experience. This is a fantastic casting for this story

🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Emma Wilder and Tor Thom are the perfect cast to bring these characters and their story to life. They have a complete understanding of the characters they are portraying and sound believable in each role they play. Tor Thom’s Jett was spot on, he grasped his persona completely, showing his cocky alpha side at first and then his softer caring side. Emma Wilder played Emory with perfection, a strong confident woman, loved her Felicity too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all of the characters emotions and projected them into their performance. These fabulously talented narrators are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another awesome listen🎧

First of all, I ADORE this group of people. From the players to all their amazing families and the ladies that made them fall. On the other hand, I rarely read books set in a world for so long, with so many stories, because I also tire of the characters at some point, and am less hungry for their stories.
Jett is the typical "always single and ready to mingle, won't ever settle down" type of character who meets the woman who just won't give him the time of day, then works hard to get her, only to find out she is a mom, and he hates kids. Dilemma.
Their journey from opponents to working together, and slowly falling and figuring out how to trust others, and considering how to work as a family unit, is quite sweet, though a touch overly dramatic at times. The ending.. well. I was not expecting it, because it seemed quite abrupt,"aaand HEA".
Lastly, I listened to this as an audiobook. I enjoy Emma Wilder a lot, and while Tor Thom is not always my favorite, it was interesting as it started. But then started the British accents. Now, people come from all over, and speak different ways, but there were multiple words that sounded like the most fake, put on, over the top, snobbish, RP-like English accent, and it really took me out of it. I got so hung up on it, I kept hearing more sentences and instances that simply sounded so off, sadly from both of them. However, actually Emma Wilder was much better, and her male voice was strong as always. The weirdly accented words were even stronger from Tor Thom, and I somehow could not get into him as Jett, also with the Swedish accent coming in and out, it seemed a bit inconsistent, yet consistently weird on the English accent. I imagine if I had read it, this would not have impacted my rating as much.
That's an English accent?

Narrators Emma Wilder, Tor Thom did an amazing job with the characters though.

Jett Olsen is a charmer and a dedicated bachelor. He is far from ready to settle down, let alone tying himself to a woman with a child. Well, at least that’s his POV before he meets Emory. What starts as a mutually beneficial no-strings relationship, quickly turns into something much deeper. And, lord, I LOVED Jett’s interactions with Emory’s daughter. How he swept in to save the day when her biological father didn’t show … I might have had to blink away a tear or two. MAJOR swoon!
This book touches sensitive subjects, such as dealing with an addict, and the disappointment and heartache that comes along with it. It’s chock-full of tender and beautiful moments as the relationship between Emory and Jett evolves. There’s one other side character that stood out besides Emory’s daughter, and that’s her sister. I’m dying to get her story now. She deserves her own HEA. So much.
I love Emma Wilder and Tor Thom both individually, but unfortunately, I found the narration a bit off with this one. From the accents that weren’t always transported or sounding strange, especially with the male narration.
Overall, I still enjoyed this one and am ready for the next hockey player to meet his match.
Heartfelt story!

I feel terrible writing this but I only ever write honest reviews.
I love the author's style of writing. I liked the characters even though Emery was frustrating to me the way she judged Jett based on other men. Their relationship was sweet and I liked the interactions between Jett and Felicity. But I found the ending abrupt and I was left with many unanswered questions - I hate that.
As for the narration: I found it extremely hard to listen to even though I normally like the narrators. The accents were fake and made my listening experience difficult.
I'm torn!
