The Shots You Take Audiobook Review
An emotionally open hockey romance about the hits people take on the ice and the ones they carry away from it.
A little more about the listen
Rachel Reid places the relationship inside the pressures of professional hockey, where public image, physical risk, and private vulnerability keep colliding. The romance earns its tenderness by allowing mental-health concerns and queerness to matter rather than treating them as plot garnish.
The listening experience
Greg Boudreaux gives the story a close, emotionally present performance. The narration is best suited to listeners who want the inner life of the relationship to matter as much as the sports setting.
Best for
Listeners looking for queer hockey romance, emotional honesty, and character-led stakes.
The honest note
This is more emotionally exposed than a breezy sports rom-com and should be chosen for its depth rather than its lightness.
Worth considering for listeners looking for queer hockey romance, emotional honesty, and character-led stakes. The honest note is the deciding reservation to weigh before spending a credit: This is more emotionally exposed than a breezy sports rom-com and should be chosen for its depth rather than its lightness.
