About This Audiobook
College senior Sabrina James has her future mapped: law school, a cutthroat career, and an exit from the past that shaped her. One night with hockey player John Tucker was supposed to be just that, until an unplanned pregnancy rewrites both their plans. Tucker refuses to be a passive bystander in his own child's life, and Sabrina refuses to be rescued by someone whose life runs on a different timeline than hers. Elle Kennedy builds the romance around a genuinely difficult situation rather than a convenient misunderstanding.
Susannah Jones and Andrew Eiden share the dual narration, and their chemistry makes the central conflict feel real: two people who would make sense together if their lives were otherwise structured, figuring out in real time whether the structure can change. Jones captures Sabrina's fierce self-sufficiency without making it merely defensive, while Eiden gives Tucker a genuine emotional intelligence that prevents the hockey star from reading as a type. The audiobook's pacing mirrors the relationship's gradual thaw.
