The Golden Goal

More than a Game, Book 1

By: Annah Conwell

Narrated by: Kim Churchill, Oliver Clarke

Shaw Daniels is the bane of my existence.

Always has been. Always will be.

When we were kids, he annoyed me to no end by being good at everything. He didn’t have to study or really even try. Meanwhile, I tried too much and still lost to him.

Then when we were teenagers, our rivalry became twisted. He started sabotaging all my relationships. I retaliated by doing the same to him.

Now, we’re adults and we should be able to move on. But when I become a physical therapist for his professional hockey team, it seems as though we can’t let go of our rival tendencies.

Suddenly, our teasing starts to border on flirting. Bets are made and lines are crossed. The kind of lines that once crossed … you can never go back to the way things were before.

The Golden Goal is a rivals to lovers, brother’s best-friend hockey romcom for fans of sports romance. It has all the sizzling chemistry you love, without any explicit scenes. Check out the first book in the More Than a Game series, an interconnected standalone series based around four men in four different sports.

SIZZLING HOT, YET CLEAN ROMANCE!

I love this story! It is now a favorite of mine! The author is so very talented. She wrote a story that has so much hot sexual tension between the main characters while keeping the story clean. I appreciated not hearing any swear words, nor explicit sex scenes. Good writing does not need that!! I loved getting to know the characters. I rooted hard for Shaw. I felt so sad for him, but he never gave up on his one true love. He just had trouble saying and doing the right things to win Sutton’s love. This story is so sweet as Shaw and Sutton slowly get together! I am surprised it is not rated higher. If you are looking for a clean, funny, hot rom-com, this book is it! I will be listening to more of Anna’s Conwell’s books.

Cute Read!

It was cute but nothing special. I don't have a better way of putting this but it all just felt kind of disneyland to me, like it was too feel good if that makes sense and the adults didn't feel like adults. Wasn't a fan of the insta-love either.

The Golden Goal

Annah knows how to write men that yearn! Shaw Daniels can yearn with the best of them! I was nervous that Sutton wasn’t going to figure out her feelings and leave Shaw hanging! I loved the way these two fit together. It felt so natural. it was so cute! The narration was amazing as always!

Felt predictable

This book felt predictable. Hits on enemies to lovers, brothers best friend, and begins and ends with slow burn lol. Cute.. beyond clean, like disinfectant clean. No heat, no passion, nothing other than one date, some kissing and the words "I love you". If thats your vibe this is the book for you. Rates G. enjoy.
