Neither of these guys is nerdish or terribly awkward and I ADORE those types of characters, so… But that’s about it. (There is a particular scene where some tender things get expressed in the middle of fight – EPIC – so funny!) I’ll only say that the lack of a character like Lane or Max is really the only thing that makes this “not my favorite in the series”. It’s pretty hysterical – and then - all of a sudden – they’re having some really hot chemistry! The chemistry between these guys is phenomenal. My favorite aspect of this particular couple is their need to bicker with one another. So, if I'm not comparing this story to others in the series, and I'm looking at this as a book on its own – there is absolutely no question that it was EXCELLENT! There's a lot of humor and the hockey is good. So, I distance myself from my fangirl-love and try to look at each story on it’s own merits. Since I’m such a fan, it’s hard not to compare one book to the other – though each book is very different. Her love of the sport is evident and it comes through in her writing. And then you’re laughing through tears which is an amazing feeling. But – in addition- she really knows how to pull at your heartstrings, too. Scott Smith is definitely growing on me.Īvon Gale is one of my favorite authors – ever! She is very gifted at writing humor and romance – together – which isn’t easy. As the Ravens struggle to build a new identity, Shane and Troy succumb to the passion that might cost them everything. Despite his determination to not get involved, Shane unwillingly becomes part of the team… and is just as unwillingly drawn to the gruff out-and-proud coach. Wanting to quit on his own terms, Shane agrees to a one-year contract with the Ravens and finds himself playing for a coach who thinks he’s an aging goon and with a team that doesn’t trust him, the coach, or each other. Shane’s career in the majors never quite took off. And it only gets worse when Shane’s rough good looks give Troy inappropriate thoughts about a member of his team, even if Shane’s set to retire at the end of the season. But Troy is disheartened when he finds that the Ravens have signed Shane North, a player known for his aggression. When he’s offered the opportunity to coach the Asheville Ravens-the most hated team in the ECHL-he’s convinced that his no-nonsense attitude is just what the team needs to put their focus back on hockey. It’s been decades since blackmail forced Troy Callahan to retire from playing professional hockey, and he’s built a successful career behind the bench.
