About This Book
Lance Romero has built a reputation as the NHL's most volatile defenseman, racking up penalty minutes and headlines with equal ease. Behind the bad-boy persona, though, lies a man shaped by secrets and a toxic entanglement he can't seem to escape. When a woman from his past re-enters his orbit, she forces him to confront the gap between who he's become and who he might still be. Helena Hunting balances the rough edges of professional hockey culture with genuine emotional vulnerability, delivering a standalone entry in the Pucked series that rewards readers already invested in the world.
Jacob Morgan and Rose Dioro bring sharp contrast to the dual-narrative format, with Morgan capturing Lance's guarded, self-sabotaging interior voice and Dioro grounding the emotional counterweight with warmth and restraint. The pairing keeps the tension alive across nearly ten hours without tipping into melodrama. Hunting's dialogue-heavy style translates naturally to audio, and the chemistry between the two narrators makes the slow-burn dynamic feel earned rather than rushed.
