Your Sharpest Edge

Ravens Hockey, Book 2

By: Vee Taylor

Narrated by: Savannah Thomas, Sean Masters

Sending him away broke my heart.
I guess fate thought we needed a second chance.

Anastasia Ilinya will do anything to keep her Olympic figure skating career alive—even leaving Russia for the US, and marrying a man she knows only by his explosive reputation. So when the abuse starts straight after “I do”, Anatasia knows she must endure. The solitary lifeline amidst the storm of her marriage is her husband’s teammate…

Alexsey Popov never expected to find anything, or anyone, as important to him as hockey–especially not the wife of his team captain. Yet, from the moment he meets Anastasia, he’s drawn to her. And the more they get to know one another the more he wants to protect her.

But Dimitri is volatile and possessive, and would never allow his wife to leave. How do you escape a man who’d rather see you dead than happy?

Your Sharpest Edge is book 2 in the Ravens Hockey series. It is a dual POV hockey romance.

so good.

This was such an emotional story. I loved the narrators and the plot. Check your TWs. I can't wait to read more from Vee Taylor!

Fantastic Audiobook!

TOP TIER audiobook! The narrators are fantastic, & this is my favorite book of Vee’s yet! I can’t wait for the audios of the rest of the series!

Very emotional!

I listened to the audiobook version of this story and it was such an emotional read. My heart broke for Anastasia while she endured so much abuse at the hands of her husband. Then my heart broke again for Alex when he was pushed away. This love story between Alex and Anastasia was full of friendship, support, love, passion, and healing. Both the plot and character developments were so well written. It was so easy to fall in love with Alex, especially seeing how much he was there or Anastasia and Damien despite how things went down. The steamy scenes were so captivating. I loved these two together, especially when they were "exploring" at that party. Soooo good. The narration by Sean Masters and Savannah Thomas was phenomenal. They were able to retain their accents so well throughout the entire book. Definitely a great and emotional read.

Beautiful, emotional hockey romance!

What an epic dance between hockey romance and emotionally charged romance! Vee wrote a story that manages to encapsulate much of the hockey world, yes, but it's much more than that. Alexsey and Anastasia go through quite the journey and I devoured it in a day.

Alex and Stassi have a shared background in the world of ice sports - he plays professional hockey, and she is a figure skater. Their friendship is put to the test when she finds herself in an abusive arranged marriage, and finds solace in Alex.

What a rollercoaster ride of emotions this story is! The burn is slow, but pleasantly so. There were many times that I wanted to scream at Stassi, both to leave her horrendous husband and jump Alex’s bones already. Alex is so sweet, patient, and gentle with her and it made me swoon. Stassi has every reason to be jaded and distrusting, so watching her open up to Alex is so sweet.

Savannah and Sean do a BEAUTIFUL job narrating, this was excellent work on both of their parts! The accent work is amazing and well maintained throughout.
Savannah has very quickly become a favorite of mine, she gives a reliably great performance while also being very versatile. She evokes a wide range of emotions here, and does it beautifully.
Sean is another voice actor who gives consistently great performances, and this is no exception. He does a great job with both Alexsey and Dimitri, who are polar opposites.

Amazing

I definitely with I could find a Russian Hockey player like Alex..lol Great, emotional and heartbreaking story. Savanna and Shawn..Chefs kiss on the voice acting. The accents were on point and the emotion the came through their voices..amazing!
