New Book/Audiobook Release Review: Slap Shot Surprise by Melanie Harlow

💜 Slap Shot Surprise (Cherry Tree Harbor #5) 💜

By Melanie Harlow

Release Date: October 1, 2024

Audiobook narrated by Connor Crais and Kirsten Leigh

From USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow comes an opposites attract, steamy small town hockey romance.

In my defense, I thought the plane was going to crash.

Otherwise, I never would have blurted out those embarrassing things to a perfect stranger.

Did I mention he turned out to be a scorching hot superstar of professional hockey?

But wait, there’s more.

When the plane lands safely, I rush off, praying I’ll never have to face him again. My luck holds out for less than twenty-four hours, when I realize he’s a groomsman at the wedding I’m attending.

We end up having a drink and a good laugh about my panicked confessions, and when he invites me up to his room for some no-strings-attached fun, I say yes. After all, a headboard rattling one-night stand with a guy who knows how to put the puck in deep isn’t something a bookworm like me ever thought she’d experience.

Neither are those two little pink lines.

Now what’s crashing are all the plans Joe Lupo and I had for our lives–separately.

After all, we’re totally wrong for each other. He’s commitment-phobic and completely focused on his career. And I want to plant roots in my small town–with someone who chooses me.

Love? It’s out of the question.

Until Joe Lupo lines up his shot and aims straight for my heart.

My review: 5 stars!

I was really excited when author Melanie Harlow announced that the last book in the Cherry Tree Harbor series would focus on Mabel. I adored Mabel and Joe's meet-cute! They had such great chemistry right off the bat and I was so eager to see what was in store for them in this book. Hockey player Joe was just plain swoon-worthy and I loved watching their relationship grow and progress as I read. Getting to know more about the Lupo family was great too. I listened to the audiobook and narrators Connor Crais and Kirsten Leigh gave excellent performances as Joe and Mabel.
