Between the Pipes

Offsides, Book 3

By: J.J. Mulder

Narrated by: Liam DiCosimo, Iggy Toma

Nico Mackenzie is angry and argumentative—in every way, he is the exact opposite of NHL goaltender Anthony Lawson.

Thrown together for a summer of coaching college hockey at South Carolina University, Anthony makes every effort to be friendly; Nico, on the other hand, seems intent on being infuriating and keeping the other man at arm's length.

When a causal relationship forms between the pair, they form an unsteady truce. The summer is finite, however, and when it comes to an end, a decision has to be made: do they end things as they are or try for more?

Hockey, Stubborn Men, and Caretaking

What happens when you take two stubborn men and put them together for one summer of coaching a hockey camp at SCU? Well, they fall in love, of course! But not without a little heartache and longing. This book is one I was desperate to get the audiobook for and I was NOT disappointed. I laughed, I cried, I got lost in the story, and still found myself grinning like a loon long after the book quit playing. This story is like a hug you fought hard to resist, but gave in, only to discover it was everything you’ve been missing. Highly recommend it. Narrators hit it out of the park. Chef’s kiss.
