AUDIO REVIEW: Stealing His Thunder by Beth Bolden (Toronto Thunder #2)

  STEALING HIS THUNDER Toronto Thunder - Book Two by Beth Bolden Release Date: January 14, 2026 Audio Release Date: February 18, 2026 Review Another compelling, beautiful and emotion-packed story from Beth’s football franchise. Dawson and Cam bring their whole hearts, even if they are in denial or hiding. Even when being a grumpy so-and-so, you can see it’s his bruised heart speaking, not the real him. And thankfully for Dawson, Cam is patient. He doesn’t push or demand, just quietly and consistently shows up, giving time and space for Dawson to build his own trust and confidence back. It’s a gorgeous story, but is definitely helped along by the talented Darcy Stark. I always enjoy his performances. One of the things I truly like about him is that I can always tell the difference between characters - changing his voice, cadence, etc., means I never struggle to follow who’s speaking when.
