About this audiobook
I was wrong. It turns out Mr. Perfect is the playboy grinder for the Jacksonville Rays, the NHL's hottest new hockey team . . . and I'm his new physical therapist. Oh, and the jerk doesn't even recognize me!
This fellowship is going to be the longest ten months of my life. Mr. Perfect Mistake will do anything to get back on my good side. Meanwhile, his best friend is the surly new equipment manager always riding my case. Worst of all, I've got an uncooperative goalie who thinks I can't tell he's hiding an injury!
This is my chance to prove myself, and I'm not risking it for anything. But with one unexpected night, one secret revealed, these men are ready to test all my limits. I can't fall for a player . . . let alone three. But if love is a game, these guys are playing to win.
Bonus content: Audio edition includes the spicy prequel novella That One Night.
Contains mature themes.

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a spicy and enjoyable read. The love and spicy scenes are captivating, and the plot is great.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very long, great but long, will recommend to be read
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing. Just amazing. 24 hours and I enjoyed every second. I loved Jake and Ilmari. Caleb was cool too lol. But this story reminded me that I'm one man woman lol I personally couldn't deal with all the sharing. The actors were great but I didn't care for the guy voiced jake and caleb a whole lot. He made Jake sound whiny when he didn't need to be.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Oh my goodness!!! What Giggling I’ve done! Awesome banter and you feel like you’re next to them, so good. And the end had me balling like a baby.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Best book I’ve listened to this year! Beautiful,sexy and amazing book!! Narrated perfectly! 5/5 stars
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not my favorite but I felt compelled to finish what I started.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Holy. Sh*t.
I did NOT know what I was getting into but IM NOT UPSET ABOUT THAT. I didn’t want it to EVER end.
- PASSIONATE, sexual, intriguing, romantic, ACCEPTING. Such a BEAUTIFULLY written book. I can’t wait for the next one!!! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing, sexy! Such an easy listen and holy still worthy scenes!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Oh my ???.
This is by far my favorite audiobook of the year. I can't recommend it enough. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow! Really good, really spicy and whith a love story that makes you cher for love for all. You get everything, the grumpy guy with a daddy kink, the happy puppy that loves everybody, the secluded protector and the girl that finds her tribe and overcomes her fears.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow! I had seen this book being recommended in all the smut book groups I follow on FB and I will say that this book did not disappoint.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I absolutely loved listening to this book as an audiobook!! I already read Pucking Around and loved hearing these characters brought to life! Caleb’s chapters were definitely my favorite, Alex Kydd goes from filthy dom-daddy dirty talk to heart wrenching vulnerability seamlessly! Also I never knew I would love hearing Finnish cursing so much ?? Ash Beverly was an incredible Ilmari and Amy Hall freaking killed it as Rachel and also I loved her Ilmari too ? basically all 3 narrators could basically curse at me in Finnish all day long ?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I loved the narrators and overall it is a good read, with a fair share of smut and intriguing characters. I found the next book even better, Tess is more my girl than Rachel but nonetheless the Prices were fun ;) can't wait for the third book! And a separate shout out to the narrators ?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I devoured this book! I read in one day and needed to listen to the audiobook after. There is a level of reality you need to throw out of the window when reading why choose books, and this is one of them. Also, the length is a lot. At first, I wondered, " Why does this book need to be 700 pages?" However, I felt myself wanting more. Emily Rath gives each character the time to explore, reflect, and grow. There is a lot of character development that happens and that takes time. I loved this book so much!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was devoured and I couldn’t get enough! Best ever! Love the love and omg the spicy scenes are panty melting.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So good i love them all can’t wait to read the rest
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My favorite book I've ever read! I love the story and have read and now listened to it several times.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Currently reading now. This is so funny - that airport pickup was genius haha
(not a huge fan of the male narrator voice he sounds weird/lazy/forced - like when your pretending to sound like a surfer haha - BUT when he does the female voice its so bad its hilarious)
Update:
Oop - I probably should of read the TW as this book ain’t for me. I was hooked from the novella so am not interested in any other relationship the FMC has or MMC am personally not into reading Poly. But if you are by all means… ;) - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was spicy! Whew! Loved every minute of it! Great plot too!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Holy HOT. I read this book and novella when it came out and was absolutely in love. Hearing it with different characters is a whole different level. Love love love!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of my favorite RH EVER!!!

Pucking Around would have probably been higher stars if fewer pages were involved and not as many bodily fluids passed about.
Every page seemed to need some form of X-rated exchange. The middle and near end of the book was 85% of that and there was not much else. There was a little bit of a plot which I enjoyed and would have liked to have focused on more but it was overshadowed by the copious amount of bedroom and out-of-bedroom activities they all had.
Rachel was a hard character to like as the story progressed. She was judgey and overbearing. Definitely liked to take charge but not in a way that makes the reader want to support her. Firstly she meets Caleb who is supposed to have a hard exterior but then his personality becomes so unapproachable at the end that he seems to be a different character. There's Jake whom she already has past run-ins with, who plays the Golden Retriever role but just becomes a needy, overbearing, grade-A clinger and finally there's Ilmari who couldn't think of anything worse than sharing Rachel but within a blink of an eye he's all of a sudden fine.
There seemed to be every trope under the sun in this book and it got to a point where I think they were just added for the sake of being added. Sometimes it's good to stick to a few and do them well. Some of the tropes also seemed preempted and we knew they were happening before they even started. I've not had many book icks but this is one.1 person found this helpful
