About this listen

This one-night stand is going into overtime.

The Stingrays call goalie Coulton Moore their gentle giant. The tall, imposing man is the team’s rock, their steadying influence on and off the ice. However, that mild disposition disappears completely when the beautiful bartender he’s been lusting after from across a crowded bar is attacked. Then, it’s all bets off as he steps in to defend her, protect her, and claim her as his.

Ainsley doesn’t have time for any more men in her life. Between serving a rowdy bunch of guys in her family’s dive bar, caring for her ailing father, and dealing with her brother and his ever-growing pile of gambling debt, her cup overfloweth when it comes to the male population.

When her brother’s enemies track her down, looking for retribution, a sexy, dominant stranger steps forward to save her. At first, it’s simple enough to accept his help and his kisses and his tantalizing touches because, after a lifetime of crap, she figures she’s due a night of mind-blowing passion with Coulton, the hottest man she’s ever met.

The problem begins when morning comes and he informs her what they shared was never going to be just a one-night stand. Nope. Coulton, the stubborn, determined, possessive man is settling for nothing less than her.

And forever.

Ainsley deserves all the good things. Coulton is a good guy who has to find a way to breakdown the walls of the bartender who seems unaffected by his charm. I was so happy for these two characters and glad that even though they had some miscommunication it didn't lead to a long absence or break-up. I can't wait to read/listen to more from this series. This one left me smiling and happy for the characters! He falls first and he's very open about his intentions. Get ready for a new book boyfriend!

Resist is the second book in the Stingrays Hockey series. This book is about Colton and Ainsley and is told from both of their points of view. Ainsley works at her father's rundown tavern and Colton is the goalie for the hockey team.

Colton and Ainsley meet when she shows up to her bar. He was going to leave, but when their eyes lock, they both have an attraction to each other. Ainsley has been burned in the past and isn't looking for a relationship. However, when some things happen, Colton is there, and he will do anything to keep her protected.

This book had some twists I didn't see coming. I enjoyed getting to know these two characters. Can Ainsley get away from the life she has always known? Can she learn that Colton will be there for her no matter what? Will Colton and Ainsley get their happy ending?

This is book 2 in Carr's Stingrays Hockey series, a sports themed romance read that is so much more. Well written and balanced with both sweet romance and steamy chemistry, Resist is the journey of our main characters Stingrays hottie goalie Coulton and bartender/co-owner Ainsley. Let's first start off by saying that Ainsley has not had a great go of life and her hard knocks just seem to keep coming. She has walls - towering high walls due to a lifetime of hurt and abuse. Coulton is the polar opposite but when these two meet both are smitten, I struggled a bit with how much Ainsley takes on and while I know her character must be so strong to have endured what she has I wanted her to fight back more, especially when it came to her family. I adored how Coulton was upfront and honest but at times still held back due to fear of perceptions. I totally relate to that. Overall, I loved the sweet and steam element and how Ainsley was welcomed into Coulton's friends and family (life). The dual narration was wonderfully done and brought our characters and story to life. A wonderful listen and I'm excited for more from Carr and this series!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I voluntarily provided this review.
