About this listen

Sarah Brennan is a hockey player in the new professional women's league, but it's her mind she wants to exercise when she enrolls in a university class on Irish literature.

Professor Claire Joyce is no fan of pro athletes, especially after a failed marriage to one. Unfortunately her ten-year-old daughter adores hockey, and her idol happens to be none other than Sarah Brennan.

Falling in love with someone who barely tolerates sports and athletes finally forces Sarah, at thirty-six, to admit that her career is in overtime, and to consider what life might look like after hockey. And it might just look like a life with Claire and her funny, amazing kid . . . if only Claire will let her guard down and follow her heart.

We carry baggage through life and we have goals. This book deals with both and their influences and how to let them go. Well worth a listen.

Great writing dealing with past troubles, perception of intellect, a bi mc with a child, hockey, but mostly undeniable attraction leading to loving romance, from Canada to Eire.
loved it, enhanced by favourite narrator.

The story made no sense and what started of promising fizzled out to nothingness. I didn’t care and had no feelings for the older character she was just irritating.

Sorry, disappointing and pointless.

I've never read anything from this author before, so I'm not sure if this is representative of their usual work. But this felt incredibly phoned in. I never really got chance to connect with the characters because everything I learned about the characters was told to me and not shown. Worse still this destroyed any chance I had of rooting for the couple because what they were saying felt rushed, unbelievable and poorly fleshed out.
Without too much of a spoiler the best example of the writing would be nearer the end when one of the characters attempts to resolve family hurt. The conversation is begun, but then I guess the author got bored of writing it because the narrator jumps in and gives a brief overview of what the conversation then contains. Then we move on... with no real closure for the reader at all.
I have a feeling too that if I were Irish I'd not be able to stomach the "Irish" parts of the book. It was hard enough as an English person to avoid rolling my eyes at how cliched and false the touristic view of the country was.

As for our narrator, I do appreciate Lori Prince is a regular narrator of the genre and has a good amount of experience. However, an Irish accent she cannot do. Foolishly I hadn't anticipated that an Irish Lit professor in Canada would be "Irish" but we are quickly told this 40 year old woman moved to Canada at the age of 10 and has a slight Irish accent still. There was nothing slight about Prince's attempt, and she could've gotten away with barely hinting at it so it was interesting choice indeed.

A showcase in telling and not showing
