I liked this audiobook. It had humor and romance and kept my interest.

This was an enjoyable story of a girl engrossed in hockey and then leaves that life behind when she’s left at the alter by a hockey player. She now is back to help her father manage a hockey team while getting involved with another hockey player. Although the hockey portion of the book doesn’t interest me as much, it was a good story with conflicts to overcome. The Diet Coke references cracked me up. It was amusing and steamy. The narrator was easy to listen to and did the various voice changes well.

'Walk of Shame' by Avery Flynn is a fun spicy hockey romance. You know what you're getting into and you get it. Enjoy!

Avery Flynn brings her signature blend of humor, sass, and sizzling romance to *Walk of Shame*, a hockey-centric rom-com that’s as steamy as it is entertaining. Astrid O’Malley is a spirited heroine whose refusal to be boxed in by her past makes her both relatable and endearing. Her sharp wit and “zero shame” philosophy give the story an edge, while her vulnerability adds depth to her character arc.

The book opens with a bang—literally—as Astrid’s no-strings-attached hookup turns out to be not-so-anonymous. Enter Brodie, the sexy, flannel-clad goalie coach who shakes up her world. Their chemistry is undeniable, and their fiery banter makes every scene between them a delight. Brodie’s grounded, steady nature contrasts well with Astrid’s bold personality, creating a dynamic that’s as tender as it is electric.

What sets *Walk of Shame* apart is its exploration of second chances—not just in love but also in reclaiming confidence and redefining family relationships. Astrid’s journey of navigating her lingering humiliation from being left at the altar and her strained relationship with her hockey-centric family feels authentic and relatable. Flynn balances the humor with moments of introspection, allowing Astrid’s growth to shine.

However, the plot can feel a bit chaotic at times, with the love story occasionally getting lost in the shuffle of hockey drama, family dynamics, and Astrid’s personal baggage. The love triangle involving Astrid’s ex adds tension but feels underdeveloped, leaving more potential for conflict untapped. Additionally, while the ending is satisfying, it wraps up a bit too conveniently, leaving some subplots unresolved.

Overall, *Walk of Shame* is a fun, spicy read that hockey romance fans will enjoy. Flynn’s sharp dialogue and knack for creating characters with heart ensure an engaging ride, even if the journey gets a little bumpy. If you love a snarky heroine, a broody-yet-sweet hero, and a dash of hockey chaos, this book deserves a spot on your TBR.

The walk of shame shouldn’t have you laughing out loud but it will change how you look at life. Trying to stay strong and not get involved with the dreaded h word, Astrid will ultimately fall and keep you entertained throughout the book!

So adorable! Absolutely fantastic book! I loved every minute of it, and couldn't put it down! Breezed through it in one sitting!

Not my cup of tea unfortunately. It was fun, cute and smutty, but I didn't love it. This is my second book by Avery Flynn and I found it to be a bit repetitive. So, if you love her, you'll love this. But if you were just meh about it or only enjoyed it a bit, you might end up in the same camp as me.

Such a cute book! It hit the perfect spot while I was in a book slump. I've read other books by Avery Flynn and like the others, this one definitely didn't disappoint. The characters were funny and flawed and I was thoroughly rooted to their journey. While I don't read a lot of hockey romance, but I didn't mind this one at all. I loved how Cal kept leaving little gifts for Astrid, it was so cute! The narrators also did a wonderful job of bringing the book to life. Savannah Peachwood is definitely one of my favourite narrators.

I am such a sucker for hockey romance! Walk of Shame grabbed me from the start. Astrid experiences the ultimate humiliation on the day of her wedding. Her husband-to-be FaceTimes her to tell her he cannot marry her. Since he was the goalie on the hockey team her dad coaches it made everything worse. It was the only thing anyone wanted to talk about for a long time. Astrid decides after that no more hockey! She also decides to only have one night stands to keep everything simple and sweet. That is until she sleeps with the goalie coach on her dad’s team to train her ex! I loved this book! It was so funny and had all the spice. Avery Flynn tells such a good story. I cannot wait to read more from her. The audio narration was so good. Thank you to NetGalley and RB Media for the audio arc in exchange for my honest review.

Very quick read. It was fun but a little one-dimensional. I wanted more from the characters in terms of development. It felt like the relationship really was just sex but they somehow both fell in love very quickly.

"*Walk of Shame* by Avery Flynn is a delightful and witty rom-com that had me hooked from the start. The chemistry between the two leads, Georgie and Andrew, is electric, with their banter making the enemies-to-lovers trope feel fresh and fun. Georgie is a vivacious, relatable heroine, while Andrew’s uptight nature provides the perfect contrast, leading to plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.

While the plot is somewhat predictable, it’s the humor, playful tone, and sizzling romance that make this book stand out. The supporting characters are also charming, adding depth and fun to the story. My only minor complaint is that some of the emotional development felt rushed, but overall, it’s a thoroughly enjoyable read that’s perfect for fans of lighthearted romantic comedies."

Flynns writing is a breath of fresh air. the banter is refreshing and the characters are super relatable. I really enjoyed this one.

While Walk of Shame didn’t leave a lasting impression, it was a fun and flirty ride! Things get complicated fast in this sports-filled romance, but this might be for you if you love hockey drama and sizzling chemistry!

It wasn’t the most memorable read, but I enjoy this author’s style and will keep reading her books.

I love this book. It was witty, and it was exciting. Getting to see both sides and point of view really helped. Keep the story going and make it more than just a typical romance novel. The narrator really were perfect and got you into the book and it was just the right amount of spice and feeling.
The female narrators voice was very unique and really helped Astrid’s personality to come through and one of a kind. Also When she did the male character, it was believable enough and didn’t take me out of the book.
That being said, I also appreciate that the male narrator didn’t try to do a female voice. I have enough Mel narrators doing bad female voices and it completely took me out of the book every time they talked to appreciate them not doing it. He changed his voice just enough to know when he was reading her part!

This was such a fun romance! When Astrid swears off relationships and vows to only have one night stands, she doesn’t plan on meeting sexy Cal.

I loved their chemistry, the spice, the curvy rep and the swooning! I listened to the audio format and it was so good.

*many thanks to RB media and Netgalley for the gifted copy for review

5 years ago, Astrid was left at the alter by her childhood sweetheart and the goalie of her fathers professional hockey team, and since then she has lived a hockey free life with one night stands only. However, one night with a sexy lumberjack breaks all the rules when she discovers he’s her upstairs neighbour and he just joined her dads hockey team to train her ex.

Walk of Shame was such a fun book! There was lots of banter and the chemistry between Astrid and Cal was out of this world. The narrators, Robert Hatchet and Savannah Peachwood, did an excellent job, I couldn’t put it down and finished it in a day! You’ll like Walk of Shame if you like:

This is the second book in the series but I went into it without reading the first and had no issued following the story. Can be read as a standalone. My only thing to note was the epilogue… I reread (listened) to it twice and I’m still confused! Like WHAT?!

Thank you NetGalley and RB Media for an advanced audio copy for an honest review.

Walk of Shame was a fantastic audiobook. I enjoyed the narrators, and the story had me laughing at times! I also really enjoyed the spicy scenes as well. The two main characters are falling in love with each other and don't realize it at first! This was a perfect spicy, sports romance any reader could enjoy!

This is my first book by Avery Flynn and it won’t be my last. So entertaining! Great characters with tons of banter and chemistry. This book went fast.

Blurb: One night. No strings. And a really good puck. Five years ago, Astrid O'Malley experienced the ultimate in public humiliation. Being dumped at the altar by her childhood sweetheart was horrifying enough. That fact that he was a professional hockey goalie and her dad was his coach? It was all anyone in sports could talk about…
Now, after years of no hockey, she has a new problem because tonight’s one night stand lives in the apartment upstairs and he's joined her dad's team. As the goalie coach. To train her ex. Now Astrid is in some kind of hockey hell

Narrated by Robert Hatchet and Savannah Peachwood (I love a dual opinion narrative!) Walk of Shame proves to be a fun, romantic, story that keeps the reader listening, making the 9 hours fly by. When I enjoy a romance book it is usually because the characters are interesting, captivating, and offer a unique perspective to what is going on. The characters in this book fit that bill. Similarly, if the book can make me laugh and swoon it is a good one. Only good things to say about this book. Would highly recommend. P.S. fairly spicy 🌶️

I received the advance copy audiobook for my honest review. Thank you to NetGalley, RB Audio, and the author, for this opportunity.

Thank you to the publishers, author and NetGalley for the free copy of this audio book.

Fun, witty read with plenty of spice- try not to listen at work like I did! I did not listen to the first book in the series and thought it worked just fine as a standalone. The main characters' banter was very enjoyable. The narrators did a great job.
