CW: anxiety, depression, death by suicide 

I loved this book. It’s heavier than the first two in the series but was so lovely. Price is an “enforcer” on the Toronto Hockey team. Fabian is a musician. This is a second chance romance. Price and Fabian liked each other as teenagers but never acted on their feelings. They meet back up in the village in Toronto. 

The main conflict of this book is Price dealing with his anxiety and panic attacks. So it is a bit of a challenge to read at times, but I thought beautifully done.

Notes: takes place in Toronto, Canada. Price is a white redhead. Fabian a Canadian of Lebanese descent.
