I've read the reviews and some say this book was too slow and honestly if you are looking for a super steamy book, this isn't it. However I did feel an emotional connection to both characters and both Adler and Layton had messed pasts in their own way and had to overcome the hurdles to get to a happily for now. For being a shorter book, I thought it was well planned and laid out. I'm excited for the secondary characters to get their own stories and will surely cross over to other series to read about Apollo.

6/4/2019 - I feel like the word “fluff” has a negative connotation and I don’t mean it that way. What I’m loving about this series is that there’s a lot of fun & laughs. Yes, there’s serious and background and some angst, but these are not dark depressing reads. It’s a lot of sports, a lot of new couple ups & downs, and just a generally enjoyable story.
Adler was downright adorkable. Lawton took a bit to figure him out, but when he did it was a treat to watch them interact.
I’ll be honest, a single team with the number of gay players this one will end up having stretches the boundaries of plausibility ~ but besides that I’m looking forward to reading these.

I enjoyed this when I read it a few years ago and was excited to revisit it with Sean Crisden. I love his voices and Adler was especially entertaining. Such a cute listen.

I dont see why everyone is so annoyed the topics discussed are not just their issues but another couples as well. It is a connected series afterall of course multiple people and characters and old characters will pop up in most stories. Personally this was amazing for me watching adler put 2+2 together and asking for his consent on everything he did for his man was beautiful, his insecurities made me want to wrap him up in a big hug and love him

This book is far superior to the first in the series. Layton and Adler are actually kinda cute together and 99% of the relationship doesn't happen off page in this book like it did with the last. While this was better than the first I just do not connect with the authors' writing and will not be continuing with this series, which is a bummer because I like hockey boys.

After being hired to help media relations for the team Layton gets more than he bargained for when he catches the eye of Adler, another player on the team. What starts out as simple insults and jabs turns into passion and excitement. But can the team accept another gay player? Or will the job be more important to Layton than love? I simply adore these characters. Big tough hockey players that wear their hearts on their sleeves. Diving into the next in the series ASAP!!
