About this listen

She's not looking for a hero. He's not looking for a hookup.

For Bella, the sweet-talking, free-loving, hip-checking student manager of the Harkness men's hockey team, sex is a second language. She's used to being fluent where others stutter, and the things people say behind her back don't (often) bother her. So she can't understand why her smoking-hot downstairs neighbor has so much trouble staying friends after their spontaneous night together. She knows better than to worry about it, but there's something in those espresso eyes that makes her second-guess herself.

Rafe is appalled with himself for losing his virginity in a drunken hookup. His strict Catholic upbringing always emphasized loving thy neighbor - but not with a bottle of wine and a box of condoms. The result is an Ivy League bout of awkwardness. But when Bella is leveled by a little bad luck and a downright nasty fraternity stunt, it's Rafe who is there to pick up the pieces.

Bella doesn't want Rafe's help, and she's through with men. Too bad the undeniable spark that crackles between the two of them just can't be extinguished.

Wow! How easily your whole world can come crashing down with no warning. Bella was a confident girl who was is usually the one who cheered up her friends and the hockey players then her world crumbled in one night because of one disgusting guy who decided to do the do the unthinkable so he did not have to admit he was the one responsible for infecting her. Bella was able find her confidence again with the help of Rafe and some good friends. A good storyline and a lovely story overall.

Great NA story with unexpected, thought provoking elements.
Only downside was the fact that the female narrator couldn't make up her mind on pronunciation of the male lead's name. She switched back and forth between Rayfe and Raff throughout the first 25% of the book, and again in later chapters, which was a bit distracting. Overall a great story, and a good listen.

once you are starting listening to this book,you can't stop, you want more and more. Strongly recommend Sarina Bowen books to anyone who did not came across her books yet. Her stories has everything that you wish it's transport you to a place where you can lose yourself in it. Saskia Maarleveld and Nick Podehl are amazing too - the best narrators ever

I was really looking forward to this book after liking Bella in the previous novels. It didn’t disappoint in any way. I’m loving this author at the moment and will be sad to finish this series.

I really enjoyed how the roles of virgin vs very experienced characters reversed in this book, and found the way the story explored the theme of shame really interesting and meaningful. I liked the character development of the FMC, the MMC didn't have quite as much character development but he was absolutely adorable golden retriever 😍

HOWEVER, I'm not a huge fan of the narrators and found especially jarring the mispronunciation of Spanish words by the female narrator, especially "belleza"!!! If a word is repeated over and over, please make sure you learn to pronounce it properly!! I really wish there was more attention to detail and quality assurance in the production of audiobooks, and that, in books where there are some sentences in other languages, narrators were picked based on their ability to pronounce them properly in the other language in question! It really ruins a book when the pronunciation in languages other than English is very bad, and there are a lot of us listeners out there who know these languages and don't enjoy it when they get butchered!

I really enjoyed the story and characters

Loved all the others so far but this was meh.. didn’t hit home.. it had everything lined up but just missed it.
Narraters we’re good and idea for the story was also good but I still think skip this one.
