De: Jillian Arly

Narrado por: Anthony Palmini, Mollie Stark

Ellie Montgomery has worked her entire life for this moment—taking the ice not as a player, but as the assistant coach of the NHL's Green Bay Bobcats.

She'll finally be able to prove to everyone that she belongs in this world. A man's world.

Lincoln Scott has fought through adversity and against all odds to become the youngest NHL head coach in history.

With much to prove, they are both ready to show the world they've earned their spots.

Only their dreams quickly turn into nightmares.

After Lincoln and Ellie discover they'll be coaching together, old grudges surface and insults fly between these former childhood rivals, begging the question, Is the Bobcats' season doomed?

Will their past dictate their future?

But heated words become heated thoughts, and Lincoln and Ellie quickly learn…

There's a fine line between lust and hate.

Can these two keep the fire burning between them a secret? Or are they destined to burn each other to the ground?

Don’t Miss Out on Ellie and Lincoln

Behind the Bench is a story of healing, perseverance, and love. Ellie and Lincoln both have trauma in their childhood that they are still working through, both have persevered through obstacles to get where they are, and both share a love of hockey that is unmatched. Their story is fun and heartwarming, the banter is on fire, and the strength to go for what you want is written throughout the story.

I loved every minute of reading this book, and I didn’t imagine it could get much better…. BUT Mollie Stark and Anthony Palmini bring Ellie and Lincoln to life in the most engaging and entertaining way. They hit the perfect mix of emotions that pull you into this story and make it so good.
