I would like to thank GRR for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

This had some cute and spicy moments, but overall it was your typical closeted, type a hockey player falling for the new guy, traded because of homophobic ex-teammates. You know the drill.

Rylan's story was built on some challenging family tragedy that was pretty sad to read at times. And the pressure that was on his shoulders to captain a 180 turn around for his team, as well as his troubles with his Dad was a very heavy burden to carry. So while i completely understand how being so tightly would up can make a fella run hot and cold, it still made me cringe the few times Rylan pulled away harshly from Jamie after succumbing to his true feelings. It all worked out for the best in the end though, with a tidy HEA that wrapped up the usual 3rd act mess with a message of hope and acceptance, and for the love of the game no matter who you love!

this was a super light and easy read, with some drama, awesome teammates and ofc hockey chemistry that sizzled on and off the ice! There's lots more steamy fun to come for Seattle Sasquatch Hockey, with books for Louis and I think Coach as well so that should be a good time! Can't wait!
