I read some of the reviews before reading this one. I expected to not enjoy it as much but I quite liked the relationship between Kyle and Eric. I liked how it develops. Would have liked a bit more of them once they got together.

Para pasar un muy buen rato, sin muchas pretensiones. Eso sí, a releer Heated Rivalry pero yaaaa!

a bit boring, not for anyone who hate a lack of communication trope, very excellent spice though

Re-read: Not my fave of the series (because that will always be Heated Rivalry and Long Game) but I do like Eric as an older protagonist. Something that begins to wear this series down tho is the amount of closeted hockey players who fall in love with the first out guy they encounter. It's not a critique of the book itself, but the series as a whole and how it works as connected works with characters who've been on the page for fictional years at this point. Eric is one of Scott Hunter's (from the first book, Game Changer) best friends and knew he himself was bi, but never felt compelled to be honest with his friend? With anyone? This strains credulity. And is mark against his character. And then, in turn, becomes an uncomfortable way to begin his relationship with Kyle.

This was okay. It was extremely slow moving the first half of the book. It was pretty boring, and I contemplated not finishing it. The second half of the book was better, but not great. I didn't feel much chemistry between Eric and Kyle, and in the end, they're both extremely forgettable along with their story. The fact that Eric couldn't get over his "old age" of 41 was annoying, and the fact that it was the main reason they couldn't be together got old really fast.

I strugle a little, as with any other that wasn't focus on Ilya and Shane...
I liked the story but i feel like something was missing... It's a great story, cute, sexy and beautiful, but iy's not so good or funny or deperate sexy as Rozanov and Hollander!
Unlike the other books, this one left me wanting more. When I saw you were on Epilogue I felt something was missing... and make up sex was missing :P

I love this series.
Eric and Kyle have a significant age gap in addition to Eric's finally beginning to explore his sexuality. The whole book is essentially them wrestling with the question of "Is this OK?" in relation to them being together. They have a lot in common and an immediate connection. Their chemistry is great. Kyle has some past trauma and Eric has a lot of questions about his attraction to men, but they go away pretty quickly around Kyle. To get their HEA they both need to convince themselves that the age gap is OK and that they can ignore external ideas about their relationship and just love each other.
I love the appearances that Ilya, Shane, Scott and Kip make in this book.
