Summary
Two opposites. One chance rescue that leaves no chance for stopping our chemistry.

Coming from a family of all boys who play hockey, all I ever wanted was to be seen by my dad. When he offers me an opportunity to intern at his startup sports magazine, I jump at the chance to impress him. It’s not until after I’m given my first assignment that I find out the catch.
I must write a hit piece on his rival team.
It shouldn’t be too bad. It’s not like I’m friends with these guys.
Enter Noah Miller
AKA: The Team Flirt.
Actually, I should first introduce his jaw line, and then you’ll understand my flustration. No, that’s not a typo. I’m 100% flustered when he’s nearby.
Never fear because my super-shield instincts tell me to resist him at all costs. It won’t be too long, and I’ll have this hit piece done and dusted.
Problem: He’s handsome.
Again, I point to the jawline.
More infuriatingly, he has the super talent of rescuing me. It would be swoony if I wasn’t tasked with destroying his team.
No one—especially Noah—is worth ruining my chance of finally making my dad proud of me.
Not even when Noah saves me one more time.
Or another time after that.
Why is he so good at that?
It’s absolutely maddening!

Shot Through the Heart is a closed-door-yet-swoony-eyes romance that delivers an all-things-hockey-and-wholesome romcom.

I loved the story, it was really cute and sweet. However, I had a hard time with the narration. The voices weren't the easiest to listen to for me.

I listened to the audiobook version of this story and enjoyed the dual narrators. The story is a clean and wholesome romance between Paisley and Noah. It isn’t easy quick story. Paisley is trying to prove to her father that she can be successful. Unfortunately, everything that can go wrong does go wrong for her in the beginning. Noah is playing for his stepfather‘s hockey team and ironically, is always in the same place at the same time that Paisley needs to be rescued. The other niche in the story is both of the fathers despise each other. I thought the story was a little bit slow, but that could be because the app I listen to could not be sped up and I usually listen to books at a bit faster speed. I also thought the main characters were old enough to not need to prove things to their parents let alone still live at home. That being said, getting to know the characters and watching their relationship grow was sweet and they are both charming. As with any good read, there is drama, misunderstandings, rescues and sweet kisses. I thought the storyline was interesting, but I felt like there were too many things left up in the air. Nothing was ever explained why the father’s disagreed with each other and although we found out who had the pictures it was never brought to light the consequences. Since there were too many unanswered questions I gave it 3.5 stars.

I absolutely LOVED The Pucker-Up Pact so when I got the chance to listen this book I was so excited to dive back into this series. I love J.P. Sterling's writing and knew this was going to be anotherAMAZING book and let me tell you she did not disappoint. The Narrators Amanda Friday and Andy Harrington did a fabulous job telling this story! Their voices kept me entertained and held my attention through the entire audibook. They were definitely the perfect duo to tell Noah & Paisley’s story! I had such a great time getting to know these new characters and getting to spend some time with Axl and Sophie from the last book. Noah is a hockey player for the Granite Ice Hockey team and Paisley is a photographer for a magazine. One night they meet at a party after she fall is almost trampled on and Noah comes to her rescue. It was such a sweet moment. I loved how their story comes together. There will be some twists and turns in their story but I had such a great time getting to know them. I found myself smiling so much through out this book. You will swoon and laugh as well. The story and the characters are well written. This is a quick read that will keep you entertained from beginning until the end. I LOVE this book and series and I can't wait to see whats next! I would HIGHLY recommend this book and anything J.P. Sterling writes.

I really enjoyed this small-town hockey romance. Paisley's dad and Noah's stepdad are enemies. Paisley is sent to sabotage Noah's team but ends up taking a likening to Noah. She first doesn't tell the reason for all the pictures she is taking because she is trying to impress her father but also get a nice job for him to be proud of her. Then there is Noah's stepdad who will do anything to come out on top and win. Noah and Paisley spend a lot of time to get to know one another and then I will let the rest of the story play out for you. I listened to this on audio.

I’m completely in my hockey romance era now! I loved listening to the narrators bring Paisley and Noah to life! It makes all the difference to listen to human narrators. The feelings and emotions really come through. This is a sweet, kisses only love story that is so relatable. I loved that Noah fell first, though it didn’t take long for Paisley to fall for him also. Noah being so protective of her made my heart melt! One of the things I enjoyed most about this story is that both of the main characters have “flaws” that make them easy to relate to. I also liked the references to hockey teams from other romance books. It’s fun for “old friends” to pop in! This is a must-listen if you are wanting a sweet, swoony HEA with some hockey hunks added in!
