Book description
Consider Me by Becka Mack - Audiobook Review
There's something deeply unsettling about the way Carter Beckett pursues Olivia Parker. Not the grand gestures or expensive gifts-that's expected territory for hockey romance. It's the quiet desperation lurking beneath his charming facade that makes your skin crawl.
The audiobook narrator captures this tension perfectly, delivering Carter's dialogue with just the right amount of calculated warmth that feels manufactured. When he says he's changed, that Olivia is different, there's an underlying current of obsession that the performance brings to life in ways the written word alone couldn't.
Olivia's resistance isn't just admirable-it's necessary. The way she sees through his player persona, recognizing the emptiness behind the NHL stardom, feels like watching someone refuse to become prey. Her friendship with Carter's teammate's girlfriend adds layers of complexity that make every interaction fraught with unspoken tension.
What makes this audiobook genuinely disturbing is how it romanticizes the very behavior it claims to subvert. Carter's determination to "win" Olivia becomes increasingly possessive, and the narrator's delivery makes it sound almost sweet. The chemistry crackles with something darker than attraction-something that feels more like a challenge being accepted.
The hockey backdrop serves as perfect camouflage for deeper psychological games. Every rink-side conversation, every accidental encounter, carries the weight of manipulation disguised as fate. You'll find yourself questioning whether Olivia's reluctance is sensible caution or something more sinister.
This isn't just a steamy romance-it's a study in how charm can become coercion when wielded by someone who's never been told no.
