Audiobook Review for Kiss Me First by Riley Paige

 

PCU Ice Storm #1

Kiss Me First by Riley Paige

Published:  April 16, 2026

Genre:  Hockey Romance, Friends to Lover, Brother’s Teammate

 

Taken from Goodreads:  Joining the insomnia thread at PCU was supposed to be harmless, a place to burn through the quiet hours with strangers who'd never know my name. A way to take my mind off the NHL scouts breathing down my neck.

Just honesty at 2 a.m. with a girl I only know as LittleTooMuch.

I didn't plan to fall for her. But somewhere between the late-night confessions and the things I'd never say out loud, I did.

Then Harlow walks into my life—guarded, beautiful, and my team captain’s little sister.

The more time I spend with her, the harder it gets to ignore the feeling that I already know her.

And if I'm right, I'm in a lot of trouble.

 

My Thoughts: I listened to this book and could not stop. The narrators were perfect, the tones were exactly how it they should be for two young college students trying to figure out life.

 I love that Harlow and Grayson were connecting through an online insomnia forum while they were friends in day-to-day life.  Such a fun way to connect with each other while staying anonymous.   They could be honest and share with each other without the judgement.   It was obvious that at some point they would figure out their real-life connection and I could only hope it would work out for the best.

Harlow had a history that made her very cautious of life and relationships.   Grayson was able to understand what she needed and help her without making her feel like something was wrong with her.   Their friendship has a spark from the beginning, but they are careful with each other.   I liked how slow their relationship changed from friendship to more.  

I cannot wait for more from the PCU Ice Storm Series.  There are so many more hockey players that deserve their happy endings.
