Summary
I'm the notoriously angry, grouchy D.C. Eagles defenseman who just can’t keep his temper in check—a temper that leads to a fifteen-game suspension from the NHL. As if that’s not bad enough, I'm forced into a short-term youth-hockey coaching gig—which my manager swears will “rebuild my image.” But what I didn’t expect was for a gorgeous, spunky blonde to stomp onto the ice on day one and lecture me about being rude to her little brother. Something about this spitfire of a woman, and the boy she’s so protective of, has my defenses melting. And if I’m not careful, I’ll burst into flames, forever melting the ice I’ve carefully kept around my heart. This is a closed-door romcom with mild language. Trigger warnings include parental substance abuse and dealing with grief/loss of parents.

This is a cute Hockey rom com, we have a grumpy player on suspension who's forced to coach a kids hockey team. He meets a fiesty woman, who has guardianship of her little brother who is on the team. They all have some trauma and issues that they are dealing with, and they find their way through that to make a family. This is a closed door romance, so there's no spice, just innuendo. The narration by Dane Anderson and Alex Picard is well done and enjoyable to listen to.

I really enjoyed this book. It’s a low angst and low spice hockey romance and Mitch has a lot of positive self reflection and growth. I enjoyed the narrators interpretations and their voices matched the characters IMO

Loved this whole series, the tough life things to work through, and prefer my own behind the door action to some authors view, and plenty of laugh out loud humor, so these are perfect for me!
