Publisher's summary
I’ve always been a wild card–the first to start a fight on the ice, and the life of the party off it–but appearances can be deceiving.
Being traded to the Boston Rebels could not have come at a better time. With serious family obligations to fulfill and a contract renewal with a new hockey team on the line, I have no time for anything else. I return to Boston knowing I need to buckle down and focus on what really matters.
But the first night I’m back in town, I come face to face with Audrey, my college calculus tutor. We had a brief fling right before I was drafted into the NHL. Now, her five year old son is standing by her side, and I don’t need a tutor to do that kind of math.
Audrey insists she doesn’t want me involved in Graham’s life unless I can commit to being a dad. With everything else going on, this is the worst possible timing.
But every minute I spend with Graham and Audrey feels exactly right, and I’m left questioning everything I thought I wanted.
Because now my goals are shifting, and getting what I really want might come at the expense of the game I’ve given my entire life to.

Story
A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country… Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing. Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me. But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start. In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also–wait for it–my brand new roommate.

For as long as I can remember, Lachlan West has been my brother’s best friend and the love of my life. Trouble is, he kissed me four years ago and then never spoke to me again. I was doing great pretending he doesn’t exist until I was assigned to write an article about former college athletes and I learn that the sexy single-dad is my first interview. Determined to wow my editor with an amazing sportsball piece. (Have I mentioned I know nothing about sports?) I head to Ember Falls, ready to face my fears—and the man I love.

Story
A marriage proposal from a deliciously handsome and wickedly charming prince sounds like a fairytale. But for a nerdy scientist with severe social anxiety, it's a horror story. Prince Torin O'Grady, with his mischievous blue eyes and cocky grin, is always in the spotlight. And he needs to marry me to inherit the crown. But we have nothing in common. He's a future king. And I'm perfectly happy slogging through mud in my work boots. So why can't I stop thinking about him?

Knox Holland is in a jam. After an incredible first year on the pro motocross circuit, he should be on top of the world. Instead, his bad reputation has landed him without a team. He's untouchable and desperate to turn it around. Which is how he ends up at my gym asking me to train him. As a college gymnast with two Olympic medals to my name, I know a thing or two about the pressure to succeed. Last season I choked and then injured myself before I could show the world that I'm not a twenty-year-old has-been.

A little white lie never hurt anyone . . . or so I thought. One fake date and we’d go our separate ways, at least that’s how hockey’s hottest golden boy—Nixon Sinclair—convinced me this would work. But it turns out, Nix had other plans. Now I’m sneaking around with my brother’s teammate, refusing to admit he’s everything I want but never knew I needed.

No one but me knew why I was actually in the California desert that day. Nestled deep within the desolate, rocky area was a recording studio. When a door suddenly opened, a man mistook me for someone he was supposed to be interviewing for a job. The next thing I knew, I was whisked inside. The position? An assistant on the upcoming tour for one of America’s most famous rock bands. Pretty exciting opportunity for a twenty-two-year-old, just out of college. Not surprisingly, I bombed the interview.

Charming and heroic, there’s nothing about Gabriel Woodruff that Avery Burke doesn’t love. His warm brown eyes, his generosity, that small scar above his lip. The newspaper photo of him carrying her from a burning home only adds to the romance of it all. A fairytale beginning and a picture-perfect marriage practically guarantees Avery and Gabriel a ride into the sunset. But every relationship has flaws, and what they ignored while they were busy being flawless eventually surfaces. The unraveling begins with the smallest tug on the tiniest string.

Saylor's goals have always involved the literal kind constructed from posts and netting. Her single-minded focus has cost her a lot, but it's also earned her recognition as the top female college player in the US. She doesn't get attached. Meeting Adler Beck, the notorious player celebrated worldwide and coveted by women everywhere, challenges her indifference. But Saylor perfected the art of appearing unbothered a long time ago, and her scoring percentage is even higher off the pitch. Might as well add a gorgeous German to the tally.

Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it.

Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

Football star. Single dad. And once, a long time ago, mine. I’ve spent the better part of a decade forgetting Ford Ellis. If he had just stayed away from Montana, I might have erased the memory of his striking blue eyes and rugged smile forever. Avoiding him was easy when the only place I saw his face was on ESPN—and a remote control could fix that problem.

Not to mention, he’s the new contractor working on my house. He’s everything I’m not: grumpy, rude, and more than a little attached to his solitude. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to kill him with kindness; the man simply won’t crack. Until he sees me shatter. Because when my world comes crashing down around me, Anson is the one catching me as I fall.

That’s where fellow senior Beckett Wood—gorgeous, stubborn, and just my type—comes in. She’s the key to my success in this class… but the price of her help is a fake relationship, and I never do things halfway.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Story
A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country… Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing. Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me. But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start. In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also–wait for it–my brand new roommate.

I caught her staring at me from across the quad, eyes fixed on the football jersey stretched across my wide chest. And if I flexed my muscles, showing off the strength of a defensive tackle, it was just to see her blush. And then she did, and I couldn’t get her out of my mind. Her wide eyes. The freckles on her cheeks. I needed to know her. The girl who scampered away every time we bumped into each other—by accident and by design.

No one but me knew why I was actually in the California desert that day. Nestled deep within the desolate, rocky area was a recording studio. When a door suddenly opened, a man mistook me for someone he was supposed to be interviewing for a job. The next thing I knew, I was whisked inside. The position? An assistant on the upcoming tour for one of America’s most famous rock bands. Pretty exciting opportunity for a twenty-two-year-old, just out of college. Not surprisingly, I bombed the interview.

I mean, if you ask the media, or pretty much anyone at all, I'm not exactly "boyfriend material." More like the King of the A-holes according to Jaclyn. That's a direct quote. And if she knew who I was, there's no way she'd let me get close. Slide in, so to speak.

Secret baby daddy
Audrey is amazing. I love her grit, drive, determination and motherly love. She had done everything for her son not only in a nurturing way but she completed her own personal goals as well. She was an admirable woman. Drew was young and dumb but as soon as he figured out graham was his. He was there for it. I love this world so much. The narration was done so well, I loved seeing these characters come to life!

I loved Audrey and Drew
New audiobook release: listened to August 2024
Book narrated by Andi Arndt and Teddy Hamilton. I just loved this book on audio. They embodied Audrey and Drew. The characterizations, and emotions brought to this story was a chefs kiss. I couldn’t stop listening. Highly recommend.
Book read: Jan 2024
Center Ice is the 1st book in the new Boston Rebels Series. The series will be interconnected standalones.
I love a good hockey romance, and Julia does an amazing job with this one. Nothing like a secret pregnancy, second chance, he halls first, to get me flipping the pages. I loved the cross over with the Frozen Heart Series. Jameson is Audrey’s older brother. A casual run in 6 years after their college fling and the secrets are out. From the beginning the chemistry and tension bled off the pages. It was sexy, sassy and once Audrey let her guard down it was full steam ahead. But, it took a short while for them to find their footing. Audrey is strong, but because of her past she is full of insecurities when it comes to life and love. Drew recently traded to Boston was labeled as someone he’s not. Little did he know that he would have to prove himself in more ways than one. Drew had his flaws but he stepped up to the plate. He was swoonworthy, hot, sexy, so supportive. He had a lot on his plate professionally and personally, but he managed to prove to Audrey and his teammates that he wasn’t his past. He fell so hard for her and Graham. He showed her that she could have the family she always wanted for herself and Graham. I loved the bonus content at the end of the book. I can’t wait to read book 2 in the series with Colt and Jules. Great read.

Amazing narration that brings this heartwarming hockey romance to life!!!
I just adoredddd this book!! I love a secret baby and sports romance so this was right up my alley! It was such a sweet romance with a swoony golden retriever MMC, a strong independent single mom who is an architect, he takes care of her moments that had me in a puddle, and some FaceTime spicy scenes that were off the charts HOT. This was my first book by Julia and I already cannot wait to read more from her!
🏒Pro Hockey
🏒Single Mom
🏒Second Chance
🏒He Falls First
📖Drew and Audrey met in college where she was his math tutor. Their attraction to each other grew and they hooked up one night. He was drafted into the NHL and she never heard back from him. Fast forward to six years later and Drew just got traded back home to Boston. While at a party at his agent’s house he sees Audrey again but now she has a little boy who looks awfully familiar to him.
🎧AUDIO REVIEW:
This is an audiobook that truly brings the story to life with an incredible casting of narrators who make you feel the chemistry, connection and romance between Drew and Audrey. It’s a dual narration by Teddy Hamilton & Andi Arndt and their performance had me unable to hit pause on this heartwarming and sweet story.
Teddy is becoming my new favorite narrator for a “he halls first romance.” He has the perfect swoony and caring tone to his voice that brings out all the vibes of these characters! It fit Drew so well as this man is doing everything from taking care of his mom, to trying for his second chance with Audrey while also trying to be there for her and their son. Teddy made me just absolutely adore this man as he showcased just how gone Drew was for her.
Andi has such an enjoyable tone to her voice that just captures you into her performances every time. She completely brought out Audrey’s personality but then also has so much depth to her voice to showcase what Audrey is going through from her strength as a single mom to her vulnerable moments and allowing someone to be there for her now too.
Overall, Andi and Teddy put on a performance that just elevated this story!! It was so easy to listen to that I ended up binging it all in one day! I cannot wait to listen to more audios from Julia!

A must-listen hockey romance!
If you like swoony men that only have eyes for you, laugh-out-loud side characters, and spicy hockey books - this NEEDS to be your next audiobook!
Tropes:
- Hockey romance
- Second chance
- Single mom
- Secret baby
- Dirty talking MMC
- He falls first and HARD
Audrey is a strong woman, with a kind nature and a fiery passionate side. She’s been on her own for so long that she doesn’t remember what it’s like to have someone truly there for her but of course Drew shows up, promising things he has no business promising. Drew is book daddy material for SURE. He’s eager to be everything Audrey and their son need but he has priorities and family commitments and there is only so much time in a day. He’s a hard worker, with a good heart, and a dirty mouth.
I absolutely DEVOURED this audio! Julia Connors always creates this small town romance feel even in books that take place in the city because you get to know the characters and family dynamic so well. I always finish her books feeling like I know them personally and friends, she was not kidding when she said this was her spiciest book yet!
And these narrators, my goodness, they really outdid themselves with this one! I will never be able to picture anyone other than Teddy Hamilton and Andi Arndt as Drew and Audrey. They had great range doing all the different voices and hit the emotions perfectly. This will be an audiobook I relisten to and recommend wholeheartedly!

Perfection in Audio
This is my first book by Julia, and I am a lover of all sports, so of course I had to give this hockey romance a try!
Center Ice has some of my favorite tropes, and I really hope you pick this one up.
Drew and Audrey get a second chance at love, and it is so sweet to see it all the love these two have for each other. Being young and not making the best decisions made years separate these two. But when they get together, it is so amazing.
I say it in so many audio reviews, but I loved this one! I was so excited to get to listen to this since it has been on my TBR.
Andi and Teddy are two of the best in the business, and I could listen to them all day, every day! The way they both read this knocked this one to the top of the list of favorites.
Teddy, as always, hits the mark on the emotions. Andi is so wonderful with the way she narrates for Audrey is spot on.
I will listen to this audio again!

Second Chance Romance
This was the first book I have listened to by Julia Connors and I really enjoyed this book. Of course the narrators were absolutely amazing. Andi Arndt and Teddy Hamilton made this audiobook so enjoyable and entertaining. They make you feel these characters chemistry through their voices and it's amazing. This was a really good second chance sports romance. I fell in love with Drew's character when he comes home to help his mom who has health issues. Then being traded to his hometown team brought another surprise when he runs into his college fling Audrey, who also has a five year old son Graham. The chemistry between these two is incredible and I loved listening to their story unfold! I felt like this story had the perfect balance of drama, angst, heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. The writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. I hope to read or listen to more of Julia Connors books.

Total Knock-out! LOVED THIS!
I was pleasantly surprised by this audio in the very BEST way. Absolutely loved it. It's Andi & Teddy, enough said! Second chance is my own HEA so when I get one, it's hard not to fall in love with it & Connors book makes the "shot" with this one. Throw in a secret baby & a little hockey & it's gold! I'm so excited to read more from her.
Audrey & Drew went to college together. She was his tutor & a spark of attraction leads to a one night stand. They graduate & Drew is drafted into the NHL & moves to Vancouver. Six years later, he's traded back to his hometown team back in Boston. Once he's back, he & Audrey run into each other & to his surprise, finds out that he's got a 5 yr old son named Graham.
Audrey is a strong, self sufficient, single mom whose been taking care of Graham just fine on her own with a little help from her brother & sister. Now that Drew knows, he's determined to do everything he possibly can to support her, get to know Graham & be there for the both of them.
Drew's got a reputation for being unpredictable & unreliable, a bit of a playboy whose lived in the fast lane & this doesn't sit well with Audrey. She needs someone who'll be there for everything, not just for the good times but there for "the WHOLE family shebang" if you know what I mean.
Once Drew sees her again he falls fast & hard & realizes quickly that his goals in life are changing. Instead of hockey goals, he wants to focus on life goals & that includes loving Audrey & their son. He wants to be a family. Drew realizes if he doesn't take this shot, he just might miss it!
Drew Jenkins is seriously so freakin swoony. Guys, this guy would literally do anything for Audrey & Graham & it is as sweet as it can be. Audrey definitely makes Drew work for her trust before entrusting him with her heart & their son's. These two are making adult decisions about tough stuff. I loved the way Connors wrote their characters. They are people who know what they want, have to make some compromises & decide to put each other & their child first.
🎧Let's talk narration....Girls, it's Teddy! If there's a guy who can voice a cinnamon roll who'll do anything for his woman & is a goner for his girl & son, it's Teddy & he delivers BIG TIME! Some good ol' classic Teddy & I enjoyed every flippin word this man spoke. Sweet as pie, swoony as all heck & naughty in the best way. Andi can do no wrong, plain & simple. She plays the strong & reluctant Audrey so perfectly. She's vulnerable & hilarious. I always enjoy her narration. These two have such great chemistry with banter that's funny & heart tugging moments that will leave you sighing & clutching your heart. Highly recommend this one🙌 Just do it now. This is a knock-out people!
I am so excited for the next audio in this series. I'll be all over it.

Sweet second chance story!
Once again I am reading a hockey romance and once again I am not mad about it! This story follows Audrey and Drew who have a bit of past and have come back into each others lives. There’s some drama, but it’s pretty light. Drew is really sweet and I love how he stepped up!! I also loved the family characters and how they all create such a wonderful village for Drew and Audrey. Andi and Teddy are fabulous as always! I really love the duet narration and these two are such great voice actors! Highly recommend this enjoyable and spicy story!

Devoured this audiobook
AUDIOBOOK REVIEW:
Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton and Andi Arndt
This is the type of hockey romance novels I love. A confident single mom FMC and a MMC who will do anything to keep the one who got away close to him, but what I love even more, is how the cinnamon roll MMC is also a sexy daddy. YES PLEASE! When Drew comes back into Audrey’s life 6 years after college, he finds out, he has an adorable little boy, Graham. Now, his focus is not only on hockey but on being the best dad he can. Drew is trying to navigate holding his spot on the new NHL team he is apart of, finding out he has a SON, take care of his mom, AND winning back the girl he once let go. Andi Arndt and Teddy Hamilton narrate Center Ice in dual. Did I start this audiobook absolutely swooning over having Teddy back in my ear? YES, yes I did. I could hear every sarcastic flirt, every laugh, every bit of surprise and every serious moment of longing through his voice and it just made me connect to drew and ultimately fall in the with the man he was to Audrey and love he had for Graham. Andi Arndt is just as incredible, I love when she can voice the confidence in a character where you know they are brave yet you can also hear the natural hesitation in her tone. Andi also brought the heat with Audrey’s spicy side and I am a sucker for a confident FMC with a little dirty talk. There were many moments where the side characters were positive and encouraging and the way Teddy & Andi are able voice so many different emotions and characters shows their range of talent. The relationship with Audrey’s brothers, her group of girl friends, Drew’s bond and openness with his teammates as well as moments with his mom is so special and all those little moments on top of the beautiful second chance Drew and Audrey had was perfection.
Thank you home cooked books for the opportunity to listen and review.
