I found this book a lot easier to read than the first one, and because of that, I did like it more. It read less like translated fiction and had a different feel to the grammar that just made it flow better. I really liked all three men this book was about, and I loved their relationship. There were some really well developed character relationships in this book, with the main characters as well as side characters. This book was fairly steamy, but not excessively so, and it had more hockey than the last book, but not by very much. Some of this book felt a little clunky as you could tell it was trying to include spin-off series set-ups. Each of them felt pretty forced and didn't really jive with the rest of the book, but overall, I enjoyed this one!
