Audiobook Review for The Overtime Kiss by Lauren Blakely

 

Love and Hockey #5

The Overtime Kiss by Lauren Blakely

Published:  May 13, 2025 by Lauren Blakely Book

Taken from Goodreads:  Just what every bride dreams of—running straight from her cheating fiancé into the arms of a hot hockey star… and then getting hired as his kids’ nanny.

Tyler Falcon is protective, flirtatious…and frustratingly responsible. We almost did something reckless when he found me alone in my wedding dress, and I blurted out all the things I’d never truly experienced.

Now, the sexy single dad is saving me again with a job I desperately need—and a promise to never mention The Night of 1001 Confessions.

I live in his house. Take care of his kids. Pretend I don’t notice his heated gaze lingering on me after they fall asleep.

Until one night, the tension snaps.

Now we have a deal. Five lessons in seduction. No strings attached.

But he’s not just good in bed. He spoils me with thoughtful gifts and supports my dreams. For the first time, I feel like I belong.

Except…this was never meant to last. I’m his employee. He has kids to protect. And neither of us can afford to make a mistake.

The more nights we spend tangled up together though, the harder it is to pretend it’s just physical. Because I’m not only falling for my boss—I’m falling for the man whose kids have stolen my heart.

Tropes: single dad/nanny, runaway bride, forced proximity, spicy lessons, she's his daughter's skating coach, confession of all secrets, love notes, found family

My Thoughts:  I listened to this book and loved it all.  Hockey romance is my jam right now.  I cannot read/listen to them quick enough.  The narrators, Brooke Bloomingdale and Teddy Hamilton, are perfect.  The dual narrators bring the characters to life and the story became real. 

The Overtime Kiss is an amazing, steamy hockey romance book.  Listening to the book took 12 hours and I could not stop listening.   Usually I just listen at work, but with this book I kept finding a quiet corner to listen to one more chapter.  I was invested in Sabrina and Tylers relationship.  

I recommend reading and listening to The Overtime Kiss and highly recommend it to any romance reader who loves a steamy hockey book.

Thank you to the author for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
