Summary

This is her shot. 

Brit has the chance to make history by being the first female goalie to play for an NHL team, the San Francisco Gold. So, when she is introduced to Stefan, the Gold's captain, she is determinedly not interested. 

Stefan is sexy, charming, and has a publicly documented list of conquests a mile long. But Brit is unwilling to risk mixing business with pleasure, even when that business is wrapped up in a six-foot-plus, gorgeously muscled package. When management pushes Brit and Stefan together in an effort to gain good press for the beleaguered team, Brit finds that her carefully calculated disinterest doesn’t mask her body's desires. The more she falls for Stefan, the more she risks her career. 

Will she be able to have it all - a starting position and the heart of the captain? Or will she lose everything?

Stand alone if you skip the epilogue

This is the first book I've read by Elise Faber. I'd recommend it to contemporary sports romance fans. Just a warning, the epilogue is really just an intro to book 2. The main characters from Blocked don't even appear in the epilogue. When I started the next book I realized it's actually the first chapter of Backhand, so it should really just be included as a preview of book 2, not as an epilogue for book 1.

Hockey is my favorite sport, so when I saw the premise of a female pro hockey player I was excited to read it. I would have liked it even better if another player wasn't the romantic interest, but I did still like the story.

Lacy Laurel and Gregory Salinas did well with the narration. I always appreciate having a male/female team when the stories are in dual points of view, though normally the character voices match better between the two narrators (I mainly noticed with Stefan's dialogue). The narration was solid, but could have had more emotion/sound effects/conversational tone to make it come more alive.

Good story, a little too much happening

I really liked this story as the beginning of the series. The characters are great and I love that Brit is a female who is breaking the glass ceiling by being the first female goalie in the NHL. How very cool.

Stefan is the captain of the team and he's also a strong character for the reader to like- he's loyal, honorable and just a good guy all around. This is not only seen in how he treats Brit but also how he treats his mom *swoon*. I love when a man treats his mother well. Both he and Brit are hiding things in their past and their current situation. Brit also has the added issue of having to "prove" her role on the team both the to the teammates and the upper echelon of managers. It's not a new type of story but so well done that it is enjoyable.

As with all first in the series, there was just so much going on and so many people. The names started to get a little confusing to me. I think that if I was reading, it would be a little more easy to reconcile who was who. But overall, I'm looking forward to the others in the series and in fact, am already listening to Mike's story and liking that one a lot too!

The narrators are really strong. I have to say that I initially wasn't a fan of Lacy Laurel from another book and after listening to a few of her books, she has not only grown on me but I really like her style. I think Gregory Salinas does a really nice job differentiating between the multiple characters including female characters and really, both do a great job bringing the story to life.

Love the take on ice hockey & fab narration

Ooooo I love the way that Lacy Laurel and Gregory Salinas brought these characters to life is fantastic. They pulled me into the story and didn't let me go.

I love the set up of this book, the woman in a man's world and all she has to cope with and go through. It's a new angle on ice hockey for me and I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed watching the characters and how they coped with everything going on around them and how their relationships built and what happened after. I love the way that Brit doesn't take any crap from anyone yet she has a vulnerable side too. I just really enjoyed the story and would highly recommend it.

Good

The narration of the book was really great, it really does enhance the story and makesit better. While I have listen to Lacy Laurel before, and I love her performance a lot, it was myfirst time listening to Gregory Salinas, he has a great voice and his performance was great.

The storyline of the book was good and kept my attention throughout the book, it has some frustrating parts but it's all part ofc what makes this book good.

A Fan of Stefan ;)

Audiobook review. 3 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love hockey romances and was excited to listen to this story. I liked how mature Stefan was. He comported himself like the leader that he is and was responsible, honest, and kind. Brit was faced with a tough choice and I don’t blame her for her missteps. Both had a natural and easy connection. The secondary characters generated interest and were used effectively.

The plot was centered on the external conflict and I would’ve liked for some more time to be spent on developing the relationship. The pace was good until the climax and then went faster from there. Finally, the resolution/grand gesture... I don’t know if this will make sense to anyone but me but here it is: In my mind I understood that I should feel like the gesture was enough and grand. However, it felt a bit anticlimactic. I didn’t feel the typical satisfaction I’m used to when things are set to rights. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad story, I just feel like there were some missed opportunities.

The narrators, Lacy Laurel and Gregory Salinas, did a great job with their roles. Their performance, to include tone, pitch, pace, and inflections, was solid.

Complementary copy received and voluntarily reviewed.

Sports Romance

Blocked by Elise Faber is a sports romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Lacy Laurel and Gregory Salinas.

This is the first book of Elise’s that I have read and it definitely won’t be my last. You can’t help but fall in love with Brit and Stefan. I cannot wait to read more books from this series.

Lacy and Gregory did an amazing job on the narration. They are a great duo. I cannot wait to find more projects that they have worked on.
