Publisher's summary

I woke up in the hospital five years ago with no idea of who I am....

Every day, I walk aimlessly around the city, searching for anything that helps me remember my past.

I don't find it until I apply for a job at the local hockey arena, home of the NHL team, the Devils.

Three sexy hockey players inside look…familiar.

They all insist they don't know me. But they watch me. Every day.

Their silence continues until a handsome, tattooed stranger dressed in a suit saunters into the arena and starts sweet-talking me.

Then they jump off the ice, ready to fight him to the death. And for some reason…he seems ready to return the favor.

Now, I'm being swept into a life of glamorous darkness…and into a war between men I evidently used to love.

Really good!

I started reading this book, but when I found out it was going to be on audio, I stopped to wait and it was so much better. That ending is horrible though, cliffhangers are the worst and this one is really bad, especially when book two doesn’t come out until Aug. I might have to read it instead and listen when it comes out. The narrators were amazing!

GREAT.. BUT A PUCKING CLIFFHANGER

I really enjoyed this listen - amnesia, reverse harem, an unfolding mystery, three possessive rich NHL Players and an even richer and more possessive Mafia King who doesn’t like or want to share with his once bffs. Kennedy has rebuilt her life as much as she can since her accident five years ago.. but she’s a bit of a lost lamb with no memories of her life prior to that. However, as the plot unfurls, familiarities start to fire her emotions when she sees the Stadium.. and, when she encounters each of the men, her libido sparks and eventually her memories start to surface. It’s duet-style narration, its’s friction filled between the men, it's hot and getting hotter, it’s addictive, it’s got romantic suspense and it’s sparks and fireworks between Kennedy and her four men. It’s totally relationship driven. I did think there were a lot of ‘what’s popular’ tropes put in, there were eye-rolling as ifs, Kennedy did have a TSTL moment leading to the cliffy and, when you’ve got good narrators and duet narration, then you REEEEALLY don’t need all the “he said, she said, etc etc. Having said that…

Worth a credit? For me it’s a yes, I think book 1 in this Duet is creditworthy.. and I can’t wait for book 2.

Don't think about, just buy it!

This is everything I want in an audiobook.
Well written plot? ✅
Obsessive MMC(s)? ✅
Troy Duran as the MMC(s)? ✅
Duet narration? ✅

I'd already read the physical book, but I'd been chomping at the bit, waiting for the release of the audiobook. It did not disappoint! Alexis Paige perfectly portrayed Kennedy, and Troy Duran always captures each male character, giving them distinctive voices. I was unaware that this was a duet narration, so I may or may not have squealed when I realized it was. 😂

I am already impatiently awaiting the release of the second book. 🙈
