Hockey with benefits. That was what Mara proposed, and I was down. She said no feelings, and she meant it. Just benefits. No strings attached. Nothing else. Not even friendship.

College was her escape, including us.

I didn't have time for a girlfriend. I had classes, the team, my family, and the game. It was all working too....

Until somewhere down the line, things got messy.

Until somehow we were dealing with threats, secrets, rivals, and so much more.

Until I began to want her in ways that weren't part of the deal.

Our agreement didn't just get checked into the wall, it got obliterated.

This one will grip you by your heart and not spit you out until the very end! So, so good. I absolutely adore these two, and I was honestly sad to see the book end while at the same time really happy for them both to get their HEA. They both have their flaws and things that they need to overcome... and they do, ask the whole, putting your emotions through the wringer. It's so worth it, though, so don't let that scare you away! This one is definitely worth the read or listen, whichever way you choose to devour it.

The narrators for the audiobook did so, so good. Their voices helped bring these characters to life to me and made the story feel like one a close friend is telling you that you can deeply connect with. Their voices complimented each other really well too which kept the transitions from character to character really smooth. I will definitely be listening to more from them both!

Hockey with benefits. That was what Mara proposed, and I was down.The title says it all. Not even friends with benefits. Just hockey and benefits. Cruz is the hockey idol that doesn’t want, or need a relationship. Mara is the loner who just needs an escape, no questions, no feelings and certainly no drama. She thought she left all her drama behind when she came to college. Although when you’re sneaking around under the covers with the college hockey god then drama is going to come a knocking. Both Cruz and Mara are running from their pasts, both for different reasons, but neither of them willing to talk to anyone about it. Until their benefits start being a little bit more. Are they willing to go down that road? Lots of drama, a little angst and a whole lot of emotion make this a story that will stay with me for a long time to come. Side note, the chemistry between Mara and Cruz is hot, hot, hot. I loved it. Now for the audio version. Absolutely loved it. Narrated by Connor Crais and Desiree Ketchum, perfect as Cruz and Mara, they gave me all the feels.

Super entertaining college hockey romance

I read the kindle version of this previously and loved it so much I decided to give the audio a go and was really glad I did.

Mara first appeared in a previous Tijan book, as the ex, but here she gets her own story. We find out why she’s so closed off, and what it takes to get her to open up. Cruz is the hot shot hockey star, who has his own demons and together they just work. Cruz is a wonderful book boyfriend and Mara is a great female lead.

There are various storylines in here, from mental health issues, previous tragedies, ongoing difficulties including misogyny and sexual assault so readers should beware. There is also a guest appearance by Zeke, a character from previous books, and he is just too funny! I hope he gets his own book sometime soon - he needs to find love.

The narrators did a great job bringing the characters to life really well. Well worth a credit.

Great story, excellent narration

Tijan blows me away with another amazing novel, a contemporary college sports romance and wow, romance like no other. It is a complex and multilayered story, one that captured my attention right from the start and held it captive the entire time. The writing and plotting are fantastic, as are the world building and character growth and development. Mara, a college student, likes to keep herself distanced from everyone, but she also likes to get lost in someone else for pleasure and she found the right partner for that, a no strings, no friendship, only the benefits with Cruz, the college’s hockey team star player. Cruz has a lot going on in his life and does not have time for a serious relationship, so Mara’s arrangement fits the bill. And it all worked out perfectly until feelings got involved. I loved watching these two first navigate their non-relationship hookups and then seeing parts of their lives trickle into each other. Both had family drama and issues going on and demons in their closets, and my heart broke for them both. Mara wanted to keep it all to herself, not burden anyone with her problems, and not let anyone in. However, she never had the right people in her corner. There is never a dull moment in book, the drama is non-stop and there is plenty of angst, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Tijan, thank you for another fantastic story and emotional rollercoaster ride. 

🎧📚🎧 And for the fantastic narration, Connor Crais and Desiree Ketchum did an amazing job portraying these characters and did so with a complete understanding of who they were, giving each a voice that suited that character and was believable in every role they played. Both completely nailed it in the lead roles, with Crais as Cruz, and Ketchum as Mara, they brought out all their emotions and had you feeling every single one. They were just as fabulous in covering the roles of the secondary characters, too. These versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to, and their performance enhanced this amazing story to another level. Thank you for another wonderful listen.
