Hockey Boy

Boston Bolts Hockey, Book 1

By: Brittanee Nicole

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, Samantha Brentmoor

Lennox Kennedy is beautiful, loud, and the love of my life. She's also my ex-girlfriend.

The first time I saw her after ten years apart, I slammed into the plexiglass minutes before our game was set to begin. The second time I threw up. The third time's a charm apparently because as my fiancée and I walked into an appointment to meet the woman hired to plan our nuptials—there she was again.

Obviously, I did what any smart man would do—I called off the wedding. I don't have a plan per se, other than winning back the only girl I've ever loved.

As a future hall of famer and one of the best centers hockey has ever seen, I know a thing or two about winning. But convincing Lennox Kennedy to give this hockey boy another chance might just be the challenge of a lifetime and this game I'm playing may turn out to be nothing but a pucking disaster.

Narrated in duet style.

Such a good story

Listen, I was looking for not a slush story but something lighter and this filled that spot. However, this is not super light and airy. This has some very real feelings in it and I appreciated that so much. Aiden is an absolute dream and I love him with all my heart. Not going to lie there was a point in this story when I yelled at Lennox because I thought she was screwing him poorly. But that’s what I love about a good story is that it makes me feel feelings. And not to mention the spice is spicy.

Wonderful

First, I just want to say I did enjoy the representation of anxiety/depression because it was similar to how I experience it.

second, I'm a simp for these narrators.

The best way to start a terrific series

Hockey Boy is the best ever introduction to the Boston Bolts and the Langfield Brothers. The little prologue at the beginning of Chapter One is scary, because What the Heck?? Aiden is having some sort of medical emergency; he’s crashing for heaven’s sake. And Lennox is saying the one word that Aiden never wanted to hear again, the word that means so long, farewell, goodbye, I’m done. What kind of love story is this?

The best kind. What follows in Chapter One sets the tone for the rest of the book. Lennox is opinionated, stubborn, mouthy, always talks before she thinks, and Aiden can’t even look at her without getting a dopey smile on his face. Meeting for the first time after she dumped him ten years ago – when she’s just been hired to plan his wedding to another woman – isn’t the ideal setting for a reunion. But it is, because so many things instantly become crystal clear to Aiden and he embarks on his Big Plan: win Lennox back. Whatever it takes, whether she’s on board or not.

Lennox has a big deadline coming up: get married in order to receive the trust fund her father is trying to take away from her. That works for Aiden; they can have a fake relationship and then a fake engagement and then a fake marriage, for however long it takes for that trust to be secure. A year, ten years, a lifetime. And if anyone thinks Aiden will see her married to another man . . . . Lennox resists, but this is Aiden and he’s persistent and persuasive. And the former love of her life. We don’t yet know why she dumped him, but we do know they are meant for each other and we’re fully on board with Aiden’s plan.

Hockey Boy is outrageously funny, but that’s not all there is to it. Lennox’s family is a rich, powerful Boston family, but warm? Nope. They are demanding, cruel, all about business and money. She wants – and needs – independence and freedom from them. Aiden’s large family is fully supportive, and as a future hall of fame hockey player it seems he’s on top of the world, but his singing, joking, best friend to everybody personality hides a lot of struggle and pain. Author Brittanee Nicole does an amazing job of combining all these parts into one delightfully perfect story. You will laugh out loud, be brought to tears, swoon over the romance, and need an ice bath after all the heat.

And talk about perfect . . . I both read and listened to Hockey Boy and talented narrators Teddy Hamilton and Samantha Brentmoor bring Aiden and Lennox to life in a way you can’t resist. Not much to say about Teddy Hamilton: if he speaks it, I want to listen to it. Yes, he’s that good. Aiden is determined, unsure, hurt, so in love, and it all comes through with Hamilton’s portrayal. Samantha Brentmoor makes Lennox snarky, vulnerable, and oh so tender towards Aiden, and she also does a wonderfully evil rendition of Aiden’s ex-fiancé Jill. I loved Hockey Boy, couldn’t wait to read the next book in the Boston Bolts series, and then the next, and I’m looking forward to many more to come. Bonus: I discovered there is a whole bunch of Langfields I didn’t know before now and many books to read to catch up. I voluntarily leave this review; all opinions are my own.

Loved this book so much!

Love these narrators and I’m a sucker for first love/second chance romance && this one ticked allllll the boxes!

5 stars for Aiden and Lennox

I loved the story of rekindled high school love of Aiden and Lennox. This book had it all: happy, serious, funny, and steamy. I really like that amongst everything they touched on mental illness without bringing down the whole tone of the book. It was such a spot on take on it that I give an extra kudos to the author. Definitely recommend.

Really good

Really good book. I really enjoyed it. Samantha and and Teddy are fantastic together. I’m looking forward to the next book

As Usual, A Great Romance from BN

This was cute, fun to pass the time to, and the characters were so nice to see again! The spice was spicy, and the story line was easy reading. I am so glad that the author found a way to continue the stories of the Langfield family and their friends.

Fantastic hockey romance!

Brit has given us yet another fantastic book! This is a second chance romance, marriage of convenience story… Aiden is a lovable golden retriever hockey boy and Lennox is the fun loving pink haired one that got away. The story touches on depression and anxiety, Brit has written this well.

Teddy Hamilton and Samantha Brentmoor give life to these two beautiful characters. Performed in duet style audio. The Langfield family is one you’ll wish you could be a part of or at least be friends with!
