About this listen

Just seven minutes younger than her twin sister, Evelyn Eve Carter has always felt like the shadow sister. She's fun when her sister is functional, more go with the flow than the structured nature of her womb-mate. Even looking exactly alike, she somehow still managed to come second to the first guy she really crushed on, Nick Atterton. Her sister's high school boyfriend. Her sister's near-fiancé. Fleeing halfway across the country to attend college in Miami, FL, Eve hopes to distance herself from that beacon of perfection and the daily soul crushing feeling of inadequacy.

Nick Atterton has loved the game of hockey since he was six years old. The next closest thing to that pure, unfiltered adoration was his high school girlfriend. But when he cant commit to forever, they end things. Just in time for his trade to Miami.

A quick trip home for Christmas ends up rerouted when Nick and Eve find their flight emergency landed in Nashville due to an unexpected ice storm. Will tinsel and trinkets be the only thing exchanged this holiday season? Or will they be permanently added to the naughty list?

Dropped Puck Series is a six book hockey romance series following the Chicago Sharks as they fight through a season of ups and downs. An interconnected collection of stand-alones, each book can be listened to on their own, but I do recommend following the order in which the books are published, as the characters do make follow up appearances in the subsequent stories.

Eve Carter has always felt like she was in her twin sister’s (Emerson) shadow. Although identical twin sisters, Em and Eve are so different in personalities. Emerson is the overachiever filled with confidence, whilst Eve is the fun but slightly insecure sister. Eve even came in second to the first guy she liked back in high school, Nick Atterton. The sisters first met Nick when he moved to their high school. And before Eve had a chance to make her moves, she found out that Em had already gotten there first, and Nick and Em were now an item. They remained an item all throughout the rest of high school and into college/university. Even almost getting engaged.

Enter college/university. After moving across the country to Miami to escape the expectations of everyone and the feelings of inadequacy, she finally feels free to be herself. This is when she hears the news of Emerson and Nick breaking up and going their separate ways.

Meanwhile, Nick has always loved the game of hockey since he was six years old. The next closest thing to that pure, unfiltered adoration was his high school girlfriend. But when he can’t commit to forever, they end things. He then gets traded to Miami. Although Emerson and Nick are broken up, they broke up on civil terms and Emerson now wants to make sure Nick is doing okay with his move to Miami. So, she asks Eve to check up on him. After meeting up and reconnecting, Eve and Nick find that sparks are ignited. A quick trip home for Christmas ends up rerouted when Nick and Evie find their flight emergency landed in Nashville due to an unexpected ice storm. One room, a bottle of tequila, and 24 hours. Will tinsel and trinkets be the only thing exchanged this holiday season? Or will they be permanently added to the naughty list?

As mentioned, I am still loving this series and I’m just in love with Rosie P. Burke’s writing! This book certainly did not disappoint, and this is slowly becoming one of my favourite romance series! 💕 I really enjoyed the exploration of Em and Eve’s twin relationship. I also really loved Eve and Nick together as a couple. I could feel their chemistry, and they were just soo cute together. Overall, this story was so cute and sweet, the characters were lovely, and I’m anticipating the next book in the series. I really cannot wait to go on ahead and read book 4! Rosie P. Burke, continue the great work you do!

Amber Goode was just amazing with the narration! Her voice captured the emotions and personalities of each of the characters perfectly. Executing the story flawlessly and bringing the characters to life. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this one!

Still loving the series! 💕

Eve has always felt she doesn’t measure up to her twin sister when it comes to college, her career or the fact that she has been in a long-term relationship with Nick, who she has hidden her feelings about since she was a teenager. Needing to escape her shadow Eve moves to Miami however the combination of Nick being traded and his relationship with her sister ending allows them to reconnect now that they are both in the same place at the same time.

Nick has come to realize that his relationship with Eve’s sister is more about habit and being friends than love. Miami is a new start and when he sees Eve again, he realizes how fun and beautiful she is. She makes his life better and wants a future with her even with the complication of the relationship they both share with her sister.

Both Eve and Nick have some insecurities when it comes to their families which causes a few challenges, but they support and bring out the best in each other. Amber Goode does a good job at bringing out the emotions that both characters are feeling.

Eve and Nick!

It was so good to get this story after listening to book 2 of this series. Definitely this is not a true standalone because there's backstory that adds so much to this book's plot. Yes, it's mentioned and alluded to, but I highly recommend reading them in order. I was apprehensive about the book's plot, but think the author did a great job showing the main characters' emotional journeys to get them to this point. It was fulfilling to get this story.

I thought the narrator did a good job voicing both parts, which I'm sure is hard. While her male voice was not my favorite, I could definitely hear when she changed characters so it didn't take me out of the story.

"Trading Tinsel" from the Dropped Puck Series, Book 3, by Rosie P. Burke, narrated by Amber Goode, explores the intriguing yet gently-paced romance between Nick, a professional hockey player, and the twin sister of his ex-girlfriend. This unique setup promises a blend of second-chance romance and taboo allure as Nick attempts to navigate the complexities of dating within such a close circle.

Amber Goode's narration brings a soothing quality to the story, capturing the nuances of forbidden attraction and lingering feelings with a soft touch. Her performance is consistent and pleasant, aligning well with the book’s mellow content. However, the narrative itself, while sweet and without malice, stretches thinly across its lengthy runtime due to a notable lack of conflict or significant plot twists.

The storyline focuses on Nick and his romantic interest, who has harbored feelings for him since their first encounter. This backstory adds layers to their interactions and provides a foundation for their rekindling relationship. However, the absence of substantial obstacles or deeper character challenges makes the extensive listening time feel protracted and somewhat uneventful.

For fans of the series, "Trading Tinsel" offers a familiar return to beloved characters and settings with the added spice of a potentially controversial romance. Yet, those seeking a story with more dramatic tension or a faster pace might find this installment lacking. It's a holiday-themed romance that skates smoothly on the ice of its plot but doesn't venture into the more thrilling territory of emotional hockey checks and breakaways.

a smooth but slow holiday story
