The Penalty Box

Written by Odette Stone

Narrated by Madeleine Dauer and Alex Kydd

He's a professional hockey player that lives on the edge. I prefer to play life by the rules.



I'm the personal assistant at a sports agency that no one notices. I don't like sports and I like professional athletes even less. I'm indifferent to the mostly male clientele, except for one. Mica "the savage" Petrov.



When it comes to wild antics, Mica is the biggest offender of them all. He's reckless, wild, and carelessly charming. I'm mortified that I find him attractive. But it doesn't matter because the guy hasn't taken a second look at me. Not once. In two years.



Mica's career-jeopardizing situation requires drastic measures to be taken to keep him in the game. He's got money, I've got debt, and my boss has a crazy idea. Which is how I found myself stepping up to save him from himself. But at what cost?



How long can I keep fighting my attraction? What ghosts from his past is he brawling with? All I know is that I need to defend my heart before this big defenseman steals it away. Can we win this game? Or is it too late for either of us?



Contains mature themes.

I like this story except for 2 things. 1) NEVER have this male narrator do a female voice again. Sooooo irritating whiny. No one would believe anyone could fall in love with a person who sounds like that. 2) why did the police detective not like Mika?

2 stars for that horrible voice

Story was interesting and good character development. A bit dark but not too dark. The male narrator really shouldn’t do female voices. Or at least listen to himself and realize that no female talks like that unless there’s something seriously wrong with them. Wish there was an epilogue but there were not too many loose ends.

Alex Kydd and Madeleine Dauer did a phenomenal job bringing Mica and Charlie to life. I was captivated from start to finish and loved the balance between sports and suspense in this romance!

I loved the story but the mail voice was not the best.

I have really enjoyed this series thus far and I love Odette's writing. But in my opinion, Mica was kinda crappy in how he treated Charlie. He was so back and forth about deciding on their relationship, and it really didn't seem fair and kinda brought down his character. He seemed so wholesome in the last book and he does somewhat redeem himself, but it did get really frustrating how much of a douche he was.
