Book Description

A sexy grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers, hockey romance from bestselling author, Kara Kendrick

He’s the grumpy captain with everything to lose. She’s the PR problem he didn’t ask for.

Hockey is my life. Always has been.

As captain of the team, I’ve built my career on discipline, loyalty, and laser focus.

But after a scandal tanks the franchise’s image, the owner relocates us to Driftwood Cove, a small sleepy Florida beach town.

New name, new strategy.

And a bubbly PR consultant hired to clean up the mess.

Harbor Hayes.

She’s sunshine in a bottle. Bright, blonde and opinionated. Worse—she knows hockey. And exactly how to get under my skin.

We clash from day one and I’m torn between wanting her gone and wanting every inch of her body underneath mine.

The longer we work together, the harder it is to pretend she doesn’t affect me.

When lines blur behind closed doors, we make a deal.

Three

No feelings. No falling. No future.

Until one reckless moment leaks in a viral video.

Now I’m not just leading the team–I’m at the center of a brand-new scandal.

One that could destroy everything.

Especially the woman I swore I’d never fall for.

My Thoughts

Slap Shot Scandal by Kara Kendrick is a must-read for any fan of hockey romance. Narrated by the dynamic duo of Sean Masters and Emma Wilder, this audiobook is a perfect example of a steamy, grumpy/sunshine, enemies-to-lovers story that will have you hooked from the first moment.

The book follows Weston, a grumpy, disciplined hockey team captain who has everything to lose, and Harbor, a bubbly PR consultant hired to fix a major team scandal. When the team is relocated to a small Florida beach town, Weston is not happy, especially with the arrival of the ever-so-optimistic Harbor Hayes. She's the last person he wants to work with, but he can't deny their instant, explosive attraction. As they work together, their professional lines blur, leading to a secret arrangement with three simple rules: no feelings, no falling, no future. But a leaked viral video threatens to expose everything, jeopardizing their jobs and forcing them to confront their undeniable feelings for each other.

This book was an absolute joy to listen to! It’s my first book by Kara Kendrick, and it won't be my last. The banter between Weston and Harbor is top-notch, and the chemistry is off the charts. Harbor is a fantastic heroine—a sunshiney badass who is fiercely dedicated to her job. Weston, the grumpy captain, is her perfect match. The plot is fresh and interesting, with the scandal providing a great backdrop for their relationship to develop.

The narration by Sean Masters and Emma Wilder is nothing short of incredible. Their performances brought the characters to life, making the story even more captivating. Their dynamic is pure magic, hitting you like a smooth, perfectly executed slap shot. This was a fun, steamy read, and I can't wait to dive into the rest of the series!
