About this listen
With her father's health in question, Sara Thomas is focused on reducing his anxiety. That's no small feat, considering his high-stress job, not to mention her own distractions. Everyone knows Sara's single; no one knows she's pregnant. There's never a good time to unexpectedly get knocked up, but now is definitely not it. Regardless, she doesn't want anyone to know - especially not her father - until she has a game plan in place. But when Jonny, one of her father's players, seeks vigilante justice on the ice, everything gets tossed out the window.
Cam Johnson's role as a fourth-line winger with the NHL's Portland Storm entails more than scoring goals. He has to ensure other teams don't take liberties with the Storm's star players. The way Cam sees it, that's the most important aspect of his job. His teammates call him Jonny; opposing fans call him a goon; the media calls him an enforcer. The title's unimportant. Cam will always fight for his team - even if he has to break the rules. He's used to taking penalties, but he never meant for anyone else to suffer from his choices.
When Cam's actions cause Sara's worst fears to be realized, he blames himself. He's screwed everything up; now he has to set things right. Mutual attraction leads to lust, and suddenly Cam is taking penalties at every turn... at least where Sara is concerned. He's got to think on his feet, or he'll end up with a Delay of Game.

Hunter Fielding has long since proven himself to be one of the best goaltenders in the NHL. The problem? His former team had another (slightly better) backstop. They left Hunter out to dry, the upstart Tulsa Thunderbirds claimed him in the expansion draft, and he made a few stupid comments about backasswards Oklahomans. Now the T-Birds say the only way he can redeem himself is to make nice for the media with some local goody two shoes who's made some mistakes of her own.

Story
I've never been in love. I've never had an orgasm, but I've faked plenty. I want to experience love. Real, passionate love. I don't want to die. It's funny what blurts out of your mouth when the plane you're on is going down, and I didn't hold back with my seat mate when my plane decided to crash. My hysterical confessions didn't faze the muscular stranger that sat beside me. In fact, he promised if we survived, he'd give me my first orgasm.

I met my dream girl. That’s right. She’s stunning and the worst bartender I’ve ever seen. I should have gone home and gone to sleep—dream girl or not. I had an early morning and the season was starting soon. But when she threatened me with boy band karaoke, I couldn't help myself. I went. The stars aligned. I have never felt more alive or wanted anyone more than I want her.

I was now raising our baby on my own. After hockey practice and games, I didn't have time to sleep, let alone make sure my social media was up to par. I never thought I'd get a second chance at love.

She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

Ian Chase broke my heart at 17, and I’ve spent the last 18 years hating him for it. He makes it easy, with his smart mouth and playboy lifestyle - which I unfortunately have to observe since he lives behind me. Every time I see him climbing out of his pool, practically naked and unreasonably sexy, my blood boils. I’ve always loved to loathe him. I never planned to need him.

He might think they can pick up just where they left off, but she's no longer that same girl and never wants to be again. Ethan wants his glory days back. And that includes having Lilah by his side. With her, he was magic. They were magic. All he has to do is make her see that. Just when Lilah might finally be ready to let Ethan in, though, she finds out their reunion might have nothing to do with love and everything to do with improving his game.

Single and jobless again, I return to Boston, needing old friends to comfort me from bad decisions, like dating my boss, moving in with him, and being dumped, fired, and homeless all in one night. Note to self, never ask a man “Where is this going?” when you have no place to go! So when my bestie tells me an old friend from high school happens to be looking for a roommate, I jump at the chance. What she didn’t tell me was that this "old friend" was Carson Hill, Mass High School’s center hockey player and the guy who didn’t know I existed while I knew every detail about him.

Another fascinating portrayal
The central characters hooked me within 10 minutes of listening. The narrator is very solid and paces the book. Well. The author brings the world of making a living in pro sports to life very convincingly. I have this series on must buy list.

Wrong Narrator
What other book might you compare Delay of Game to and why?
I enjoyed reading books 1-3 in this Sports Romance series reminiscent of Jaci Burton's Play by Play or Rachel Gibson's Chinook's Hockey series.
How could the performance have been better?
Ahh! The narrator took a big tall stoic character and gave him the voice of a short balding newscaster which totally wrecked the romance for me. In addition, she mispronounced the name of the Canucks hockey team which was mentioned several times throughout the book. Canucks rhymes with ducks not dukes!! Even if you aren't from Vancouver it will hurt your ears.
Any additional comments?
Love the series, try another narrator. Thanks

Don't Delay... Listen Now!
Readers can't help but love Gayle's Portland Storm series. Its my all-time she favorite hockey romance series!
Gayle develops her stories around real issues, creating authentic characters. She gradually builds delicious chemistry between the main characters, incorporates multi-dimensional secondary characters, and wraps it all up with sensational hockey. Add in quality narration and it's a win.
I recommend reading the series in order. Books reference characters and plot lines from previous books. You don't want to miss any of it!

Meh
First thing, this is the first book that I listened to in the series and my first story by the author. I was a little worried that I was going to be confused about characters since this book isn’t the first in the series, but luckily that was not a problem.
Cam was an extremely likable character. I think that the author very good job about leading us into his head without bombarding us with too much inner dialogue.
But Sara, whiny Sara, with way too much for me. She was extremely unlikable and seemed way younger, almost like a teenager. Which made me really nervous about the faith of her unborn child.
Cam and Sara as a couple made no sense to me. I feel like it was easy to understand why Sara would be attracted to Cam, but the same cannot be said for why Cam was attracted to Sara (other than physically, I mean.) I also don’t believe that there’s really emotions behind this pairing. Cam was into Sara from the start, and as cute and sweet as that is, it made no sense since Sara was so unlikeable.
Overall, the story was okay but I will not be reading anymore books in the series.
Also, this book was given to me free at my request and I provided this voluntary and HONEST review.

Awful
Angel Clark is the most non emotional narrator I have ever heard. Sarah, is an awful awful person. No redeeming qualities for this character. Every chapter she was in made my stomach clench. Done with this author and narrator.
