I liked Ilya going into this book, in a "He's probably my fav, tied with Ryan and Fabian and Harris and Troy and Kyle" way, and now I l o v e Ilya. I just want to hug him. The airplane scene :sob: It's literally the same scene as in Troy/Harris's book and I still cried reading it. Ilya and his stupid big heart and his love for dogs and his very very pure beautiful love for Shane :sob: :sob: :sob:

Now I can't watch hockey, because I know it won't be as good as this...!

A beautiful end to Shane and Ilya’s story and it was so rewarding to see these two get their hard-won HEA

I’ll admit that it did drag in spots but the emotional payoff was definitely worth it. I also loved the mental health representation and how things aren’t magically fixed by being in a relationship or when life is generally going well

For anyone wondering if they need to read the whole series before reading this book, I read only Heated Rivalry and the Long Game and did not feel lost at all. The universe, side characters, and hockey teams are all easy to follow. I’m sure it is even more rewarding to read the series in order, but I’m impatient and not sad that I could read Shane and Ilya’s full story all at once

Ahhhhh I love Shane & Ilya so much. I’m glad they got the sequel they deserved. I appreciate that Ilya tackles his mental health issues head on - it’s important to see that on the pages of a romance I think, when it’s about loving the whole person and wanting them to be as whole and happy as possible.

I read my first book Rachel Reid early on in my MM sports romance obsession and I’ve been trying to find books as good as hers ever since. Definitely my favourite series of the genre.
