A pro hockey player falls for an interior designer in this charming debut sports romance. For fans of Icebreaker and Set On You, this flirty workplace rom-com explores mental health, belonging, and finding your way in the world.
Nick Sorensen had once been one of the fastest men in hockey—until the devastating plane crash that took the lives of his best friends, leaving him the only survivor. Now he's physically ready to get back on the ice, but his coach is concerned Nick isn't doing as well, mentally, as he says he is. Case in point? Nick's apartment is completely empty, apart from a single chair and a mattress on the floor. To prove he's fine, really, Nick hires Alyssa Compton, an up-and-coming interior designer, to decorate his space. Alyssa's thrilled at the chance to prove herself to her demanding boss—with job security at last, maybe she can finally put down roots and create a home for herself too. But Nick turns out to be infuriatingly stubborn and impossible to work with, and just when Alyssa decides to throw in the towel on the whole thing, Nick shows up for her in a way she never could have expected. The icy path ahead of these two lost souls may be slippery and cracking, but when it comes to love, sometimes all you need is someone on your team.

      Narrators Scarlett Everdeen and Nick Mondelli charm listeners with this heartfelt romance. Nick Sorensen was the fastest guy in hockey until a heartbreaking plane crash took the lives of his best friends, leaving him the only survivor. While he's finally physically ready to hit the ice again, his coach is concerned about his mental health and his empty apartment. When Nick hires Alyssa Compton to spruce up his place, sparks fly. Everdeen's expressive nuances add grace and vulnerability to Alyssa's persona. Mondelli's narrative voice sounds a bit monotone at times and fails to capture Nick's emotional wounds. Nonetheless, listeners will be rooting for Nick and Alyssa to get together. J.J.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine

      Kennedy's adult debut (after the YA novel What Goes Up) follows Nick Sorenson, a professional hockey player hoping to return to the game after a devastating plane crash injured him and killed his five closest friends. Nick thinks he's ready to return to the ice, but his bleak and bare apartment suggests otherwise. When his coach orders him to make his apartment into a home, Nick asks up-and-coming interior designer Alyssa Compton for help. Alyssa is excited about the opportunity, but Nick's stubborn reluctance proves more challenging than expected. As the two work together, however, he begins to open up; soon, cracks in his gruff exterior make way for healing and support for them both. Narrators Scarlett Everdeen and Nick Mondelli ably embody both characters' perspectives. Everdeen's eager, funny demeanor pairs well with Mondelli's tone, which, though rough and tortured, hints at the vulnerability beneath. VERDICT Kennedy's focus on the nuances of mental health and grief makes for a layered and thoughtful romance.
