From the blurb:
After too much celebrating at his brother’s wedding, Connor wakes up next to cocky Toronto goaltender Jesse Webber—pro hockey’s reigning f*ckboy. With three kids and a failed marriage under his belt, Connor might be ready to admit he’s attracted to men, but that doesn’t mean his life has to change.
Fate has other plans: Jesse’s been traded to the Boston Harriers, the team Connor captains.
With an intimidating family legacy to live up to, pressure from ownership to bring home another Cup, and a strained relationship with his ex-wife to juggle, Connor reluctantly agrees to let Jesse stay at his place for the season—strictly to keep him in line.
Rules are set, boundaries are clear. But Jesse’s never met a rule he couldn’t break.
Between winning over Connor’s kids, rallying the team, and sneaking past Connor’s defenses, Jesse is determined to prove he’s more than just trouble.
But can he show Connor there’s more to life than playing it safe?
CONTENT WARNING: Goaltender Interference contains scenes with mild homophobia (external and internal), discussions of divorce/emotional abandonment, and character struggling to reconcile sexuality and organized religion (Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox).
Lesetiger's review:
This story is about Connor, the captain of the Boston team, and Jesse Webber, with whom he has a hot one-night stand. I just love the two of them! They are pretty much the opposite of each other, but they complement each other perfectly.
Jesse is kind-hearted, open, doesn't take life too seriously and can cause chaos. Connor's marriage is on the rocks, he's trying to be a good father to his three children and he also has responsibilities within the O'Shea family, as well as being the captain of the team Connor joins. There's not much time to have fun. Besides, Jesse is his first partner and he is struggling with his bisexuality.
But one is really good for the other and I thought it was great how well Jesse got on with Connor's children. It was very gripping to read.
You can feel the sizzle between the two as you read - the chemistry is certainly there and there are a few hot scenes.
I was very well entertained by the story. It was amusing, entertaining and I really enjoyed seeing how Connor helps Jesse to enjoy life again and how Connor makes Jesse feel understood.
As always, James Edward Jones did a great job narrating this audiobook. He performed the hockey games very enthusiastically and conveyed the emotions perfectly.
All in all, Goaltender Interference is a fantastic start to the series and leaves you wanting more! When can I read the second volume, please?
