About this listen
It’s hard to be a woman in the NHL, especially in one of the most hated positions. Olivia’s dream is to be a referee, and to get there she’ll need to work hard, stay focused, and be free of any distractions, especially ones with blue eyes and easy smiles that won’t leave her alone.
This might be Robbie’s last season of professional hockey and he wants it to be his best one yet. He’s well liked amongst his teammates, crew, and officials, but there’s a new face among the crowd that he can’t forget about. Referee #13. She’s feisty and prickly and wants nothing to do with him. So naturally, Robbie is determined to befriend her.
When the line between friendship and love starts to blur, they both need to consider what giving in might mean for them. Will distance and work get in the way, or can they compromise and find a way to be together?

When I first moved from Manhattan to this small town six years ago, I worried about many things. I worried about finding a job. I worried that I’d be bored. I worried that my relationship with charming photographer Ryan Breslow was moving too fast. But I never worried about whether the ground beneath my feet would crumble—both literally and figuratively. My marriage didn’t go as I’d imagined. A year ago, Ryan met his untimely death in a car accident that’s still under investigation.

“Give me a second chance, babe . . . and I’ll blow your mind.” Monroe doesn’t know why she answers the text that’s obviously meant for someone else. Or why she keeps answering. Maybe it’s because she’s all alone in a big city and in desperate need of a lifeline. Or maybe it’s because each exchange leaves her intrigued and more than a little turned on. Still, Monroe never would’ve snarked back if she’d known she was talking to the “Golden Boy” of the Dallas Knights.

Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Thanks to my needy pet rat, I’m banned from working at all Florida theme parks. So what’s a person to do? Get a job as a mascot for a local hockey team, of course. I didn’t expect to get pushed into a pool on my first day by the grouchiest, hottest player on the team. Nor could I have imagined that we’d get locked into an evacuated building together and share an angry kiss that would get caught on video. Or that said video would go viral, sending ticket sales for our games through the roof.

Failing to make it in pro ball left me absolutely devastated. Baseball has been my life, my dream, but it’s time to move on. Becoming a sports agent was always my back-up plan, and now that I’m interning at the biggest queer-focused firm in the country, I’m doing my best not to let my bitterness toward baseball affect my future. That’s really difficult when I’m assigned to babysit Kelley Afton, hotshot rookie pitcher for Philly. He has everything I ever wanted, and he doesn’t even appreciate it. I didn’t become an agent so I could soothe the ego of diva athletes.

Hockey Player x Female Referee
The Love Penalty by Stef C.R.
⭐️4/5
🥰He Falls First
🥰Opposites Attract
🥰Friends to Lovers
🥰Hocky Player X Female Referee
This was such a sweet debut story. Robbie and Olivia were the perfect couple. I fell in love with them the first time they met. Their relationship was so natural. The Chemistry will draw you in and never let you go. I was hooked. Robbie would do anything for Olivia. Watching the way he supported her was by far my favorite part of the book. He loved her with his whole heart. They worked through all their issues mutually. They were both looking for something and found each other resulting in the creation of a sweet new loving family.
The narration of this book was great. I loved listening to this story, and I couldn’t stop listening! I loved the narrators voice, she really brought his story to life.
I would highly recommend this as your next read!

Obsessed and sobbing all at once!
Stef did a fantastic job with The Love Penalty! It’s the perfect combination between romance and genuine friendship and Stef throws it all into Olivia and Robbie for a curl up and listen romance! And Meghan Kelly is FANTASTIC! It is definitely worth the listen for those who want an easy listen without getting lost on whats happening!

Sweet Perfection, With the Perfect Build to Heated Wow!
Olivia is a mite bit prickly … actually, more than a bit, but does that deter Robbie from pursuing her? Noooo, not in the slightest! From their first meet, he KNOWS she’s the one for him, BUT getting HER to view him with something other than distain will take time, perseverance, and hot dayum, possibly a decree from a higher order! Once Robbie persuades Olivia to at least give friendship a try … can he completely win her over, or will the nefarious in their midst end their season prematurely by drawing “The Love Penalty”! I really enjoyed this one! This, THIS is the very definition of easy, breezy listening! If you’re not familiar with hockey, fear not, our author has that covered! The sporting detail provided is perfect, allowing the listener to become completely enmeshed in both the story, and the lives of these beautifully drawn characters! I really loved how the characters develop organically as the story plays out, allowing me to come to know them, and care for them as I would had I just met them in life! They all resonated as REAL. From the situations they found themselves in, to the words they spoke, this story felt REAL, and thanks to spectacular narration, this story sounded REAL! The voicing choices were fabulous, perfectly fitting the personality of each and every character! From fear to passion, laughter to anger, and everything in between, there was a ton of emotion in this one, and ALL of it was beautifully and consistently conveyed through STUNNINGLY accurate vocal intonations! I knew who was speaking, what they were feeling, their anxiety level, their mindset, everything! I could see it, I could FEEL it, from the first word to the last I loved it! “The Love Penalty” gets five fantastic stars across all categories!

The player and the referee
This is a cute one! I grabbed it because I love stories about women working in men dominated fields. Everything that they have to put up with from the males in that field always interests me. She is a Referee for hockey so what she has to out up with from players, fans and colleagues make this a story that could go many ways. Then add in the hockey players and it easily pulled me i ! The characters are fun and believable. I love her nickname for him! He has a wonderful family and friends to round out this story. Their holiday antics are perfect for this time of year. I listened to this on audio. Meghan Kelly is the narrator and she does a fabulous job portraying these characters.

Love on ice
A clandestine love between the referee and the hokey player is the subject of this romantic tale. The hokey player, Robbie, is sympathetic and patient. He always looks for methods to build positive relationships with others and appreciates them. The referee, Olivia, needs to trust people because she has experienced hardships in her life. Who is the greatest teacher, then?
They put a lot of effort into maintaining their long-distance relationship. Can their love withstand the challenges they face? Learn by listening.
Meghan Kelly, the narrator, performed a fantastic job. Every character had a distinct voice, and it was quite simple to follow on your own.

Awesome Book!
This is my first book by this author and I loved it!! Olivia is a hockey referee and meets Robbie, who is a hockey player, at her new referee job. At first, she doesn’t think they can be friends, but changes her tune over time as she gets to know Robbie. Robbie is the sweetest guy ever and I loved this cute story with them chasing their HEA. I loved that Oliva is a strong woman on the ice, even though she is dealing with some past issues. Meghan Kelly did an awesome job at the narration, as always. Her voice for each character is great and makes this a great audiobook to listen to.

Wonderful!
What a great fun love story. It was well written and it built so well, I couldn’t wait to see what took place. Meghan Kelly is a master at the art of narration. She has a fantastic voice and she can do both male and female characters. Meghan makes the story come to life.

Such a fun twist on the popular hockey romance!!
Story/writing: 5 stars - I loved this twist on the popular hockey romance genre. I want to see more females in professional hockey stories! Stef did a great job building up Robbie & Olivia’s friendship before they dove into a relationship, and I loved Robbie’s protectiveness over Olivia. It was sweet and not overbearing. Olivia was strong, and a little stubborn, but eventually let her walls down and it turned into a found family, which I also adore. I will definitely be picking up the rest in the series!
Audiobook performance: 3 stars - The narration was well done, but I don’t think this narrator’s voice is really suited for this genre. It just didn’t really fit some of the scenes. I don’t think it took away from the overall story, but if the same narrator does the future books, I will probably skip the audiobooks and read the physical/ebooks instead.

Cozy hockey romance
Hockey romance, friends to lovers, found family, no 3rd act break up, captain/referee, golden retriever MMC, cats!
Well this was adorable. This was a feel good romance with an MMC you want to wrap yourself in and an FMC you want to give a hug to! There wasn't a third-act break which I always appreciate, but the couple also wasn't without problems. Also had some winter/holiday vibes which was perfect for when I read it (late November).
Would recommend for a cozy hockey read!
