I need more! Brilliant!

What a fantastic start to this new Sports Romance series from Meghan Quinn. This time we are venturing into the world of Ice Hockey and I couldn't have been more excited to get started. Kiss and Don't Tell had everything I love about Meghan's writing. A loveable, and most importantly relatable heroine and a Hero that is a good guy through and through. One that you just want all for yourself.

Winnie finds herself stranded in a storm on the doorstep of a houseful of pro NHL players during their off season. I loved how the relationship between her and the boys evolved from them not wanting her there at all, to them calling her their girl and making her a part of their family. Pacey as a Hero was everything he needed to be to compliment Winnie and push her to come through the fog she has been living in after the loss of her Mother. The Banter between Pacey, and the other players, Halsey, Taters, Hornsby and Posey was spot on and it didn't take long to be intrigued by each and everyone of them.

There were some little nods to the Brentwood Boys and the Dating by Numbers series too for any fans of other MQ books which was a nice touch I thought. What can I say really, this book felt like a small town romance in many ways with the characters being hidden away in a cabin and the small resort town of Banff being a great backdrop for the story. The book had bags of charm and the secondary characters AKA the other players and Winnie's best friends Kate and Max were shining stars in their own right too.

I have to also commend the Audiobook. Jason Clarke and Vanessa Edwin were FANTASTIC!! They both embodied Winnie and Pacey to perfection for me, narrating all the nuances, the sass, the feels in all the ways I hoped for. The moment when they try and get Winnie's car out of the ditch had me cracking up with laughter while listening. One I will listen to again and again for sure.

Kisses all the way

Wow what a story . Meghan Quinn pulled all the stops on this story . This story is about 5 best friends that also play hockey for the same team.
Hero is Pacey. Heroine is Winnie

What happened when Winnie gets stranded up the mountain in Banff . She has no choice but to go to the house that the light is on. It’s a mother of a down bore of rain. Once she walks in there are 5 guys. One of the guys can’t put his finger on it …. Where do I know her from. She doesn’t know either. Sparks fly between both of them.
Later Pacey figured out that Winnie is his half brothers ex. Does he tell Winnie. Grab it and see

Both performers Jason Clarke, Vanessa Edwin are perfect together. They brought the story to life. They did the voices for each character great.

Terrific

I bought this book because Jason Clarke was reading it and it didn’t disappoint. Loved the all the characters especially the hockey players. Jason! !!!! Respect man that’s some voice you have.

Fun, flirty and additive - Audio is the way to go

Be still my beating heart. Jason Clarke as Pacey Lawes was utter perfection. I couldn’t imagine a better match. Pacey,’s strength, his humour, his alpha traits, all come out in Jason’s narration, because let’s face it, Pacey is all those things as well as being a pro hockey player (goalie no less), he’s also the perfect book boyfriend. When Winnie Berlin comes a knocking on a his teammate’s cabin during the off-season she gets more than she bargained for. Stranded during a rainstorm, Pacey becomes her knight in shining armour, along with 4 of his hunky teammates, some of whom are less than hospitable. Herein starts a rollercoaster ride of humour, romance, fun and games, and of course a little added drama (it’s still a lie even if it is by omission Pacey). I could not get enough of this story, the characters, the humour, and of course the sexy scenes, so sweet, romantic and very Meghan Quinn. Vanessa Edwin was the perfect Winnie to Jason Clarke’s Pacey.

Loved it

Pacey Lawes is my new book boyfriend!
He's sweet, thoughtful, funny, helpful, kind, and protective.
He listens, he opens doors, he teases, he touches, and he delivers in the bedroom.

Winnie is (as Pacey says) quite extraordinary.
A little shy and timid to start with.
Super funny once she warms up.
Caring, beautiful (inside and out), kind, brave, and absolutely PERFECT for Pacey.


The chemistry and sexual tension in this book were OFF THE CHARTS. The heat between them, the desire that radiated from the pages... it melted me into a puddle of gooey happiness.
There was the typical Meghan Quinn humour injected into the story (which always puts a smile on my face) but add in Max and Katherine (who is just plain hilarious with her crazy) and the chuckles felt like they kept tumbling from my lips.
I also appreciated the inclusion of 'Orson's TikTok' - gah! he makes me smile as soon as I read his name.

Yes, there was drama. It was painful to watch unfold.
You could sense the regret as soon as the words came out.
A boatload of groveling (for which I award Pacey with an A+ for effort), a bit of time, some beautiful gestures, and then all seemed right in the world again.

I can NOT WAIT to learn more about the other Agitators, I know they will provide us all with laughs, fun times, and crazy shenanigans.
Jason and Vanessa did a phenomenal job of narration.


PSA: do not listen to or read this book in places that spontaneous snorts of laughter are inappropriate.

A Sports Romantic Comedy!

Oh! I loved this one! This is a great Sports Romantic Comedy. Winnie and Pacey's story is beautifully written, funny, and flirty, sexy, heartwarming, gripping, and romantic., filled with drama, angst, and twists and turns. I liked Pacey! He is handsome! Winnie is such a great character, funny, and beautiful. I like their banter. The supporting characters are amazing. I like the friendship, and the brotherhood in this story. This is definitely one of my favorite books written by Meghan Quinn. Jason Clarke and Vanessa Edwin did a wonderful job with the narration. I like their voices together, and they are perfect as Pacey and Winnie. I enjoyed it, and I highly recommend it. If you like Sports Romantic Comedy, this one is definitely for you!

Amazing book

Loved loved Winnie and her mini she is funny and smart and just perfect and Pacey is just such a nice guy but he is also very dominant and possessive.. the perfect mix between Alfa and beta …😍😍

Sweet Hockey Story

And just like that, Meghan Quinn has created another series! This book was a mix of rom-com, sports (Hockey!) and angst. We were introduced to 5 HOT Hockey players in this story. Pacey Lawes & Winnie Berlin are the main characters in this book. They meet randomly when Winnie's cat breaks down in the Canadian Rockies. Both are flawed with recent traumas. The Steam level in this book is Hot! Jason Clarke & Vanessa Edwin do an amazing job narrating.

Best group texts EVER💕🤣

Omigosh! Y’all I absolutely loved this audiobook Jason & Vanessa are perfection as Winnie & Pacey💕 KADT is sweet, funny, swoony and sexy—hella sexy (the sexting scene🔥).

Winnie is searching for direction in her life when she stumbles into Pacey & the guys. This group of friends!! They are crazy cool, so sweet, give each other sh… and are 100% there for each other—true family. Their text convos are hysterical and the way the help Pacey win ‘their girl’ back is so freaking awesome. 💕 I can absolutely picture them huddled around coming up with their plan😍

Poor paranoid Katherine—I adore her. I may have a friend exactly like her so I find her especially lol funny. And Max…he’s the perfect BFF just wants his bestie to be happy & at peace.

Fave quotes:
‘This is what giddy feels like, this consumption of happiness pulsing through your veins. I’ve met—I’ve kissed—the perfect man. And. He. Kissed. Me. Back.’—I loved this scene. So sweet & captures that falling feeling💕

Hornsby: Did you see the way he looked at her? Dude is f*ing sunk when it comes to this girl. Posey: *whispers* I think he’s falling in love. Taters: ^^Are you insane? It’s way too soon for that. Right? Lawes, are you falling in love? Hornsby: *taps watch* Waiting for an answer. Posey: Would love an update on that status of your heart. Does she hold it in her dainty hands? Holmes: Interested too. Taters: Not you, Holmes. There’s no f*ing way. Lawes: Easily, hands down, the best I’ve ever had. She makes me come so hard I black out every time Don’t ask me again, I don’t share details. And am I falling in love? Yup. Hard not to with this girl. She’s had it tough, yet she’s so real. Kind. She’s genuine and supportive of me, not just me as a hockey player. She listens. Didn’t know anyone like that existed, really. So, yeah. I’m falling hard. Now I need to figure out how to keep her. Hornsby: Called it. Posey: My n!pples got hard reading that. Holmes: Congrats, dude. Taters: Umm . . . this is serious? You’re really falling for her?—-seriosly y’all! How awesome are these guys and their n!pples🤣
