Summary

Drafted to play for the Jacksonville Sea Storm, an NHL affiliate, 20-year-old Lane Courtnall's future looks bright, apart from the awkwardness he feels as a gay man playing on a minor league hockey team. He's put his foot in his mouth a few times and alienated his teammates. Then, during a rivalry game, Lane throws off his gloves against Jared Shore, enforcer for the Savannah Renegades. It's a strange way to begin a relationship.

Jared's been playing minor league hockey for most of his career. He's bisexual and doesn't care if anyone knows. But he's determined to avoid another love affair after the last one left him devastated. Out of nowhere a one-nighter with rookie Lane Courtnall gives him second thoughts. Lane reminds Jared why he loves the game and why love might be worth the risk. In turn, Jared hopes to show Lane how to be comfortable with himself on and off the ice. But they're at different points in their careers, and both men will have to decide what they value most.

Was not sure if this was for me

Where does Breakaway rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Definitely in the top 20

Who was your favorite character and why?

Lane was my favourite character, his sometimes awkward, often walking with his foot in his mouth, but most importantly I loved how endearing he was.

What does Scott R. Smith bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I loved how Scott R bought the characters to life, apart from the first chapter (which I think was more to do with the actual story than his voice)

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

On & off the ice

Any additional comments?

I'm so impressed with this book overall i'm off to download the rest of the series!

Fabulous!

Any additional comments?

This wasn't my favourite book in this series when I read it, hearing it in audio put it on a completely different level. I laughed, swooned, rolled my eyes and spent the whole time thoroughly entertained. One of the best audio books I've listened to.

4.5 stars from me....for everything!!

Really liked the story, and the audio book was just as good. Scott R. Smith's [another newbie to me] narration was a joy to listen to, his deep, raspy drawl for Jared and Lane's almost too excited higher pitched chatterbox voice were spot on, as was his lazy Southern girlish voice for Zoe. I loved listening to Lane/Zoe and Lane/Jared interact, so funny. If he is to be the series narrator, my bank account may well suffer, but I'll definitely be buying the audio books for the rest of the series. 4.5 stars from me.
