About This Audiobook
Hunter Davenport has one rule for his junior year at Briar University: no distractions. After a disastrous previous season, the newly appointed hockey captain commits to celibacy so he can focus on leading his team. That plan holds up fine until Demi Davis walks into his life. She's sharp, funny, and safely off-limits thanks to her boyfriend. But when that relationship ends and Demi turns her attention toward Hunter, his carefully constructed boundaries start crumbling. A mandatory yearlong class project keeps them in constant contact, and the gulf between their worlds, from family expectations to clashing life plans, only adds fuel to a connection neither of them can ignore.
Ana Osorio and Teddy Hamilton deliver a dual narration that captures the push-and-pull dynamic at the heart of the story. Hamilton brings easygoing warmth to Hunter's internal battle between discipline and desire, while Osorio gives Demi a confident edge that never tips into caricature. The alternating perspectives keep the twelve-hour runtime moving briskly, and the chemistry between the two narrators sells the slow-burn tension that makes Elle Kennedy's Briar U series so addictive in audio form.
