 Thank you to the author for my gifted e-review copy. My opinions are my own.

Synopsis: Book 4 in the SCU Hockey universe, this is Nate and Marcos story.

Read this for:
- hockey/baseball
- horses
- cowboy/city boy
- insta love that turns into slow burn
- touch aversion
- bi-awakening

My thoughts: I got hooked on JJ’s hockey universe last year and have literally read her entire back list and arc read her last 5 books. The characters are so sweet and tender even when faced with difficult times. Nate is a cowboy who has been playing hockey but he knows he’s not going to go pro and I love that aspect of JJ’s books. So many student athletes end up doing lots of other things than playing what ever sport they play at a pro level. But a chance meeting with Marcos at a party changes some things in Nate’s world, Marcos with his quiet ways and his aversion to touch. I would love to wrap both of them up in big hugs. I love that they give each other a soft place to land.

Highly recommend, if you want to read this series, I suggest that you follow the suggested reading order:
Shots On Net - book 1
Save The Game - book 2
On The Edge - book 3
