Something to Prove (Smithton Bears, Book 2) by Lane Hayes; Narrated by Kirt Graves


Walker is following his family's journalistic legacy and is a popular social media influencer trying to get the local hockey star's interview, but Ty wants nothing to do with him. When they finally come to an agreement, animosity turns to sparks of attraction and as a relationship blooms there is the hovering end date of when Ty enters the pros.


From the blurb:

The hockey star, the influencer, and the deal of a lifetime.


Ty


I’m going to the pros, baby! Deal made, contract signed. Now all I have to do is finish out my final season at Smithton and stay out of trouble. I like to have a good time, but don’t worry, I’ll behave.

What I won’t do is talk to that double-crossing influencer who’s been badgering me for an interview. No thanks.

I know Walker’s type—sweet as pie on the outside, a shark on the inside.

Get this…he wants to make a deal that sounds a lot like a bribe.

Not interested. No way.

But I am curious.


Walker

I’ve never worked so hard for an interview in my life. Ugh!

Look, I get that Ty doesn’t like me. As in…he won’t return my calls and avoids me like the plague on campus.

Too bad. I’m not giving up.

I don’t want to beg, but I’m willing to barter. Every man has his price—and something to prove.

Even Ty.

Something to Prove is a low-angst, geek-jock MM bisexual college hockey romance featuring a hockey star and the adorkable influencer who’s determined to win him over…


Lesetiger's review:

It's been a while since I read a book by this author, but I have to say that I really enjoyed this story.
I liked the two main characters. On the one hand, there's Ty, an up-and-coming hockey player with a bright future ahead of him. He's bi, but he can't afford any scandals. On the other hand, there's Walker, a nerd who runs a very successful social media channel. And now Walker is supposed to interview Ty? Walker, of all people, who has made an unforgivable mistake. But Walker wants this interview too.
What follows is a sweet and entertaining story. I liked the banter between Ty and Walker, and you could feel the sizzle between them as you read or listened. The chemistry is definitely there, and Walker tries very hard to change Ty's opinion of him.

I liked how their relationship developed. If you're looking for an entertaining and sweet love story, this is the one for you.

The audiobook was narrated by Kirt Graves, and he did a great job. I could easily distinguish between the protagonists, and he read in a varied way, bringing the story to life.
