I read Goaltender Interference and Zane/Ryan's books and enjoyed them. Noah's book was boring. This book left an extremely bad taste in my mouth and I'm going to have to take a break before finishing this series.
I'm not a fan of age gaps, especially when one of the MC is literally old enough to be the parent of the other MC. This book had a 20 year age gap, but I read it because it's a part of the series. I'm really regretting that.
It's super inappropriate for Lance to date his player, Gabriel. Especially since he knows this is Gabriel's last chance in the NHL due to his reputation and actions.
Lance was a giant red flag, who spent the majority of the book manipulating Gabriel. Lance knew Gabriel was alone in the city, stressed from taking care of his dad, and vulnerable. It didn't stop him from pursuing Gabriel. Gabriel tells Lance he's worried about what the relationship would do to his career, so they can't tell anyone.Lance tells his entire family without talking to Gabriel about it and was surprised that Gabriel wasn't thrilled. He then spends the rest of the book guilting and manipulating Gabriel into going to his daughter's wedding, despite Gabriel not wanting to. He ends up going and of course they are outted as a couple.
Their whole relationship was a total of 3 months and they're both madly in love with each other. Lance keeps saying he has no problem quitting his job to keep dating Gabriel. What? Throwing away your career over a 3 month relationship is something. But he's a master manipulator, so I'm not surprised he kept saying that.
The one star is because I did like Gabriel and the other hockey players.
