When I saw the audiobook was 14.5 hours I thought there’s no way a book needs to be that long. And the reason it’s so long is because it’s a bunch of drawn out sex scenes linked together by an interesting story. This bin could have been shorter. Way shorter. But apparently the sex scenes just had to be as long as possible. I wish there was a version I’d the book with less sex and more story.

The story is actually kind of sweet to start out with; a sweet, wholesome man in a bar, helping out a hot lady from some jackass, making a jackass of himself, and they come to know each other in this really intense and elemental way. Then they go separate ways.
It takes an incredibly kinky turn when we realize that our main character not only has her one night, stand soulmate man, but also his best friend, and then about a third of the way through the book, she also picks up a giant Finnish man with no words for anyone but her.
The writing was okay, very simple and certainly not the star of the show but the characters felt distinct and the conflict was realistic. The saving grace from the annoying main characters (annoying as in pushy, lacking boundaries) it was that the communication was on a 10. These people talk about their crap, that’s for sure. There’s a lot of sexual repression and denial which everyone works through with a major moment of reconciliation. Although there were several occasions when the dialogue felt like it was trying too hard to make some great philosophical statement, and more often than not some of the dialogue and inner commentary felt like they should be coming from supernatural characters because then all of this, “you’re mine” talk wouldn’t have felt so cringe. I don’t know…different strokes for different folks I guess. It was all pretty dramatic and drawn out for too long but no great grievances.
This book is straight p-🌽on page, and a lot of it, which is the point so, well done Emily Rath.

Rachel gets her dream job as physio for a newly established ice hockey team. Growing up, she’s always been the wild child and has never committed to anyone. On her first day, her one night stand from a few months ago appears right in front of her; Jake, one of the players.
They try to ignore their chemistry (and fail miserably). Meanwhile, Rachel can no longer deny her attraction to equipment manager Caleb. Or later, to goal keeper Mars. I loved that Caleb and Jake are also in love, and it’s not just M/F action.
What follows is a really positive take on polyamory. I think the author writes this really well, and I loved the HEA. I definitely want to read the next book in the series!
