Am MM dark hockey romance duet narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Joe Arden? It pretty quickly jumped to the top of my TBR. I used an Audible credit. I was so excited.
I was also very disappointed ☹️
There was so much random sex. Like all of a sudden these side characters are fucking in a helicopter - like, WHHHYYYY??? It was just shock value. Added nothing to the plot.
Speaking of plot, maybe learn how a hockey game works before you write a hockey story. There are THREE periods, not 4. I very nearly DNF when I heard that.
So much SA trauma. So much.
The duet was super weird. It was duet only when the two MMCs were in the same scene, otherwise it was single narrator. Even when there were other characters in the scene and the other narrator could have done that part. Also, Joe Arden sounded so bored.

A dark and violent MM Hockey Mafia standalone novel intwinned with another universe. It's dangerous and spicy with rough kink play and pierced body parts. It's exciting, mysterious, tense and thrilling with awesome hockey play and intense bodyguard protection. It's detailed and descriptive with a plot that grabbed you and wouldn't stop.
