About this listen

I work in a sports agency with jocks all day long and there's no one I'd want to date.

Emily

There is nothing better than a mocha frappe on the way to the office in the morning and Sunday spent on South Beach. I'm getting closer to the big 3-0 and finding that perfect guy is getting harder and harder even though I work for a sports agency buzzing with jocks. They are married, players, or jerks. Life changes on a dime when I'm sent to Maine amidst a blizzard to rescue a rookie who's managed to get himself in trouble his first week playing for the NHL team, the Maine Maulers. I can’t wait to get Wyatt back on track so I can leave this godforsaken frozen state that seems more like Siberia than New England. I'm in a mood by the time I track Wyatt down at the hockey pond. His devilish good looks combine with the way he fills out his old jeans in all the right places ...and how sexy he looks leaning on his hockey stick…maybe there is something special about this young jock that is pushing all my buttons.

Wyatt

It’s supposed to be the highlight of my young life when I score my first goal in an NHL game. But how was I to know that the last girl in the bar after that celebration with the guys was the goalie’s sister? And that she's getting even with her boyfriend for ignoring her? Now the team is out of sync and messing with our goalie’s head as he’s losing games over the drama. Management isn’t happy, so I need my agent to go to bat for me. Only it’s not Dan who shows up, but some smoking hot big city chick who looks like a nine on a scale of 10, and that means she’s off-limits as in high maintenance. I need her to help me fix my reputation with my team as the press is sniffing around for the dirt but after that, I will happily part ways with her only…. Emily turns out to be everything that makes my world complete.

I just don’t know if she can give up her city ways for a life in rural Maine when she loves the sound of the ocean and sand under her toes.

Rookie in Love is an enemies to lovers, forced proximity opposites attract, fish out of water steamy romance with a HEA. The series is best if listened to in order.

what happens when the rookie falls for his PR person? we find H in some bad light along comes h to rescue and save his career. I had a hard time listening as I am not into age gap stories esp 19 M and almost 30 F. I had to look past the ages. it was a great story.

both narrators are new and did do a wonderful job.

Rookie in Love by Zoe Beth Geller is a sports romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Camille Quinn and Tom Haire. This is the first book in the Maine Maulers Hockey series.

This is the first book of Zoe's that I have read, and it won't be my last. I really enjoyed the relationship that bloomed between Wyat and Emily. I liked that we got both of their points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I can't wait for the next book in the series Jagged Ice to be released on audio so I can get Alexandre and Callie's story.

Camille and Tom did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like sports romances, contemporary romances, or instant connection romances.

As a rookie, you have to be on your best behavior. Reputation is everything. When Wyatt scores his first goal, he is ready to celebrate, and after a few drinks goes home with a beautiful woman. Who knew she was getting back at her ex and was he sister of the goalie? Now his name in the black, and at odds with his teammates, this 19 year old player is need of a makeover. Enter Emily. She hates the cold, but goes off to Maine to help Wyatt out. Public relations is her thing and her boss believes she can fix this. Instant chemistry. That is all I can say. These two are combustible from the start. This age-gap romance is full of passion, humor and just enough angst to keep things exciting. This team is a tough one, and with Wyatt so young, he has his work cut out for him. Emily is a little on edge with the age difference as well that the team is a client of her company. What will happen with these two? You have to listen to find out! It's steamy and fun. If sports romance is your thing, give this one a listen.

Tom Haire and Camille Quinn bring this sports romance alive. Haire is a fast favorite of mine, and each time I hear him narrate, I know I am in for a treat. He understands his characters and as Wyatt, he has a little innocence as he figures out his life. I love how he gives him the maturity to know what he wants. This is my first Quinn narration and I truly enjoyed her. She has a youthful sound, yet as Emily she brings out her unease, passion and love. This is a great narration and one to grab now!

Love a hockey romance!

I really enjoyed this easy-to-listen-to-romance. It had a lot of cute moments, and both the MC's are likeable. A few times I felt the story got a bit rushed and things could've been fleshed out better. But all in all, a great and easy listen, the narrators did a great job

Great storyline and definitely worth reading. Characters developed well, and Wyatt was always older than his years suggest.

Wyatt is 19 and just drafted into the NHL when he finds himself in a situation receiving heat from his team mates and media. Emily is 28 and filling in for his PR person but she can’t help but fall for the handsome Wyatt. This was an opposite attracts, forbidden, reverse age gap storyline.

This was my first book by this author and although I really enjoy hockey romances and a reverse age gap was appealing, this story fell a little flat for me. I had a hard time connecting with the characters/story and I never felt a head over heels attraction between them with hot chemistry. There was a lot of focus on the h being 28, internal thoughts etc and the pacing was really slow at some parts of the story. I did find the characters likable but was just hopeful for more.

Her reaction to winter mirrored mine. It brought back so many memories and reasons why I’d never go back. After some heavy themes, reading this book was so heartwarming. I so loved getting to know the characters and the storyline. The narrators for the characters well and the story was highly entertaining

I felt like this book had a lot of promise when I read the blurb. And even now after having to finish the story I think there was more that could’ve been done with the story. But in the end unfortunately all I can say was that I was able to finish it. I don’t have any intentions to continue with the series though. None of Wyatt’s teammates really stood out as being someone I’m driven to see them get their own stories. Neither Emily nor Wyatt were characters that I ever really connected with. I felt that both characters were hyper focused on their age difference. And while normally I have no issues with the story in which the main characters have a big age difference, this story just didn’t feel like it was handled the right way.
Emily was so focused on her age as her being too old. When did 28 or 29 become old? I don’t even know that most people would consider being 30 as too old anymore. I think that was part of my issue was that the age difference was such a huge focus in the story, and yes, I think that having a 10-year difference is definitely something that could present issues in a relationship. But the storyline and Emily’s complaints in particular made it seem like she was this much older, more mature woman who was set in her ways and had lived so much life that she wasn’t sure if she could change. I would expect something like that more from a woman who was in her mid to late 40s. From a woman who possibly had children or maybe had many years of marriage or had decades of work and life experience under her belt. But that wasn’t the case with Emily. Again, she was still in her late 20s. There are plenty of other stories I have read in which being in your 20s is the norm for the leading lady. Even late 20s, almost 30, isn’t something that was looked at as particularly old. So, it just didn’t sit well with me her focus on her age.
On the other hand, I will say that I was able to understand a little bit more the concern with Wyatt only being 19. But at the same time having the talent and follow through to become a professional athlete in the major leagues takes a certain level of drive and dedication that I personally would think would add maturity. I don’t think he was given nearly enough credit for that.
I also liked the dog. I like how in a way it brought the two main characters together. But other than the narration being pretty good, I’m not sure that I can really find more than the dog and the performance of the story that I really liked.
