About this listen

Rookie forward Isaac Rivera is still finding his footing in the big leagues where he’s no longer the best player on the roster. It’s a whole new world, especially now that several of his hockey idols have become teammates. Friends, even.

There’s one who’s more than a hockey idol, though…and he might end up being more than a friend.

Julien Landry is a powerhouse on the ice. In eight years, he’s become one of the league’s top defensemen and the heartthrob everyone wants to bed. But fallout from a painful mistake as a rookie, followed by years of rough-and-tumble hookups, have him itching for something more.

When a connection sparks between him and Isaac, he discovers what he’s been missing: someone he can trust with his body and his heart. As long as Isaac and Julien keep the heat between them off the ice, what could go wrong?

But Julien’s past is never far behind him, and when it comes crashing in, he might lose everything—his career, his friends, and the first person he’s ever really loved.

Sport rarely interests me. Ice hockey interests me even less. In this novel, that doesn't matter. Yes, there's a lot of hockey speak and action but it's there to serve the story. Pivotal, gripping moments abound and if it's hockey that forms the background, that's fine by me.

The plot grabs hold of you. So do the characters' emotions. My god, it's a rollercoaster. Never overdone or deployed merely for effect, the characters' trials and tribulations (especially Julien's) get under your skin. Of course, there are happier times - plenty of them - and some are pretty sexy.

It's a long novel. Long and engrossing and thoroughly enjoyable. Recommended

Michael Ferraiuolo helps the hours slip by, deploying a wider range of accents than I've heard him do previously.

An emotional rollercoaster
