About this audiobook
Lindy
They don't call me Belinda Boring for nothing. It's my name, after all. And for a twenty-three-year-old with plain brown hair who still lives at home and gets tongue tied over nothing, it's a fitting one. I'm not even one of those quiet girls with a hidden talent, unless making a mean order of nachos at the NHL arena I work at counts. My life consists of working, reading, and harboring a secret crush on a hockey player who doesn't know I exist. At least, until we accidentally meet and become unlikely friends.
Victor
I'm living the dream. A poor kid who worked his way into the NHL, I'll never forget where I came from, though I try to. My past follows me, a nagging reminder that I'll never be what everyone thinks I am. As the threat of my secret being exposed looms closer, my game slips, leaving me in danger of being cut from my team-the only family I have. I'm losing my hold on everything when a new friend helps me find hope. She's nothing like the women I'm used to, but by the time I figure out that's exactly why she's right for me, I've lost my chance with her. Somehow, I have to convince a woman who thinks she's invisible that she's the only one I see.
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Boring narration for Ms Boring. Beginning of story was interesting but the monotone narration drove me away. Maybe I'll try the ebook.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a bucket of fun, Lindy, her family and friends were a riot. Oh the poster with kisses. ? Athletes in general hilariously tap into their inner kid. Victor struggles to get his mojo back, he’s willing to put in the work, and take any advice that helps. Vic & Lindy have a friend zone going, it’s sweet & supportive along the way they get a little help from friends and teammates. It’s a slow burn but doesn’t drag out way past it’s welcome. That said. Victor has a serious subplot, subject of childhood sexual abuse and how that manifests ( in even most successful adults) it can’t be said enough that fear & shame allow abuser’s to continue to torment victims. Victims don’t just grow out it and move along.
