Summary

A Scoring Chances Novel 

It’s been decades since blackmail forced Troy Callahan to retire from playing professional hockey, and he’s built a successful career behind the bench. When he’s offered the opportunity to coach the Asheville Ravens—the most hated team in the ECHL—he’s convinced that his no-nonsense attitude is just what the team needs to put their focus back on hockey. But Troy is disheartened when he finds that the Ravens have signed Shane North, a player known for his aggression. And it only gets worse when Shane’s rough good looks give Troy inappropriate thoughts about a member of his team, even if Shane’s set to retire at the end of the season.

Shane’s career in the majors never quite took off. Wanting to quit on his own terms, Shane agrees to a one-year contract with the Ravens and finds himself playing for a coach who thinks he’s an aging goon and with a team that doesn’t trust him, the coach, or each other. Despite his determination to not get involved, Shane unwillingly becomes part of the team… and is just as unwillingly drawn to the gruff out-and-proud coach. As the Ravens struggle to build a new identity, Shane and Troy succumb to the passion that might cost them everything.

Another great story

I loved this. A very different story again. I adored Troy’s gruff exterior and the banter was brilliant. I’m hoping for another one.

Shane or Lane?

I could not tell apart Lane from book 1 from Shane. Resulting in me constantly thinking the Mc was in a second relationship with Jared. And Shane's female friend matched Lane's. Also, I disliked how at 50% the thoughts and discussions between the protagonists excluded everything but sex.

Love this series

I've enjoyed all the books in this series, and the narrator does a good job with them. I've never heard him narrate anything else, but I can't imagine anyone else reading them now. I did occasionally have trouble distinguishing between the main characters' voices when listening, unless he was reading in a markedly different accent. Looking forward to Xavier's book, which will hopefully be next.
