In the heart of the Big Easy, Victoria “Tori” Strauss has it all together—almost. As the poised and efficient social media manager for the beloved New Orleans Mystic hockey team, she's a seasoned pro at captivating the hearts of fans. But her own heart? That's a different story.

Six years ago, a chance encounter with the enigmatic alpha Spencer Black started with passion and instant chemistry, but ended in heartbreak when he left without a word to chase his dreams with the San Francisco Wardens. Now, he's been traded to his hometown team, and their paths are about to collide once more. Tori's anger simmers just beneath the surface as she's forced to confront the man who once shattered her world.

Determined to make Spencer regret his decision, Tori turns her attention to two other players, Oliver Astrauckas and Elijah Jokinson—both charismatic and enticing alphas in their own right. But as she dives into a whirlwind of secret relationships and heated encounters, Tori finds herself doing the one thing she vowed never to do: fall for a hockey player. Can she truly let go of the past and open her heart to new possibilities? And when the time comes, will she have the courage to choose between her dream career and the unexpected, passionate love that awaits her?

In this sizzling tale of love, second chances, and the ultimate choice, every goal, every play, and every stolen kiss could change the game forever.

Crossing The Top Line is the first book in the Pack Mystic series, starting as MMMF but with growth in the future. This book is intended for listeners 18+ and contains mature subjects. Please see the author's note at the start for more information on specific subjects and themes depicted.

I enjoyed the hockey aspect of the story but the omegaverse was a first and I had a hard time following. However, I like the characters and the narration was good.

This is book 1 in Woods' new series Pack Mystic. An Omega verse romance that while that is not generally my go to, this book was certainly captivating both with its main characters and storyline. The dual narration did wonders to bring all the characters to life. A why choose, reverse harem type romance read that covers a lot of steamy ground and add to that some hockey?!? yes and please! Tori is the media manager for the New Orleans Mystics and loves her job, but changes are brewing for her and the team. Spencer, Oliver, and Elijah join the Mystics and these three are roommates and more. Great chemistry on and off the ice and then add to that a new coach in Logan. A great read that has all the sweet and spice as well as a bit of a cliffhanger that will have you excited (like me) for more!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I voluntarily provided this review.

Tori grew up in the hockey world and now manages the social media account for an NHL team, the New Orleans Mystics. Even as an Omega she's earned the love of the fans and the loyalty of the team. However, the last few years have seen the team fall on hard times and the fan numbers are low. This is a year of change - new coach, new stars. Tori is determined to get fan support strong again. She doesn't have time for distractions and she doesn't date hockey players. But this new team seems as if it has been built to test her. The Alpha responsible for her heartache and emotional break has joined the team. Plus, two players being called up make it clear they want Tori as theirs. Then there's the new coach. Tori finds herself breaking her own rules for the first time.

I enjoyed this book despite finding it problematic at times. There was no Omegaverse world-building despite it having several unusual details that set it apart from the typical Omegaverse. Packs don't seem to be normal. Oli and Eli were closeted, although there was another player who was in an open same-sex marriage. Why? Tori's interrupted heat caused BH issues, including intrusive thoughts and self-harming tendencies. What is this? Spencer and Tori are both conveniently also bi but it's never mentioned until the end, and Spencer even seemed confused with his reactions towards his housemate's bodies. All of this needed better fleshing out. Also, the name Mystic. There is a Mobile Mystick minor league hockey team, plus a very popular WNBA team with the name. Could have been better thought out.

I loved the characters and most of their interactions with Tori's mini-heat being the exception. I liked the emotional bonds and friendships. It was a fun, easy read. I do think it could have been even better if it had been a standalone. It could have been edited down, and the pacing improved and made complete.

Phillipa Miller and James Amherst handled the narrator's duties for this story. They were wonderful, making it sound like a full cast. They brought this story to life beautifully. I was impressed with their versatility. Kudos to both!
