The Pucker-Up Pact is such a sweet Hockey Romance, AHL Player + Singer makes for a very cute couple indeed. With tropes like fake dating and Grumpy + Sunshine this short story has everything you need. There is so much emotion packed into this beautiful story and the banter between Axel and Sophie is perfect, I was laughing and smiling so much listening to it. The narrators did a great job bringing this book to life.

One thing about me? I love a fake dating trope! I really enjoyed Axel’s grumpy personality & Sophie’s bubbly sunshine personality!

I really enjoyed this audiobook, the narrators were great & it was a quick & fun listen. It does say “duet” but it is actually a dual narration, but it was still enjoyable!

Cute short fake dating romance. I enjoyed Axel's grumpy NHL personality and Sophie's opposite happy pop star personality in this story. The water gun fight was my favorite part of the book. I did enjoy both narrators but the cover did state it was a duet narration but it's actually dual narration. I was excited for duet narration because it's my favorite type of audiobook so that was a let down but dual narration is also good, just would have liked to know that going in.

He is an AHL hockey player that needs an image boost to reach the NHL. She is a pop star that needs to get over a broken heart. Why not be seen together in this super cute fake dating, water gun fighting, small town hockey romance?

This is a quick and easy read, more of a novella than a full novel. It is a closed door romance with little to no swearing and adorable characters.

The narration is very good, although it says on the cover that it is a duet narration when it is a dual narration instead. It is still very good and I strongly recommend it.

AHL Hockey player x pop star
Grumpy x sunshine
Small town
Fake dating
Water gun fights


Dual Narration- Kasey Miracle & Magnus Carlson
*The cover says Duet but this is definitely dual narration. They do a good job with the narration.


Sophie heartbroken pop star looking for revenge on her cheating ex boyfriend.
Axl hot headed hockey player looking to build a better image.

This was super cute and sweet. I really enjoyed it. Definitely on the fluffy side and just kisses no spice however it’s a fabulous lighthearted and quick easy listen.

This is a quick, clean, and fun audiobook. The best part is that it was narrated in duet narration by Kasey Miracle and Magnus Carlson. They are both new to me narrators but I really enjoyed their portrayal of Sophie and Axl.

Definitely pick this up if you're into:
*Hockey players and pop stars (yes, please!)
*Fake dating shenanigans
*Sweet forced proximity
*Revenge
