“I’m walking away from that dream.”
“We can’t guarantee your life if you keep playing.”
At twenty-three, an undiagnosed heart condition sends pro hockey player Cameron Riley back to his hometown newly single and looking for work. Cam can’t hide his past – especially when his heart racing is a big risk, and boy, does his new boss’s nephew make his heart race. Noah’s exactly the kind of guy Cam needs after his hellish ex.
“I want to do something new.”
Art curator Noah Clark is glad his beekeeping uncle hired this hunk. Cameron is a sweet, smart bad boy. Noah works hard, like organizing a hockey-themed art exhibition, and he wants to let himself love hard. Noah’s busy life would be perfect with Cameron, but what’s his new lover hiding?
“Tell me why you’ve been watching me.”
Pitting Cam’s budding relationship with sweet Noah against millions of bucks, Cam is offered a lot of money to abandon his new priorities: life, love, and family. The game of their lives is on the line. And after all’s said and done, is it too late for Noah to forgive Cam for his partial truths?
REVIEW:
This one was just ok for me. Nothing super great or really awful, just ok. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and even though I didn’t find anything really groundbreaking here I am interested in the other 2 brother’s stories. I don’t know if I’ll read them or not but I am curious.
Cameron Riley just got some bad news about his heart. Having always planned to be a professional hockey player getting news that overexerting himself could kill him derails those plans. Moving back home to be with his brothers and parents proves the ideal situation.
Noah Clark loves art and helping his Uncle whenever he can. While at his Uncle’s farmers market stand he meets super sexy Cam and sparks fly.
I wouldn’t say this is instalove but it had its corny, cheesy moments. The chemistry and the relationship buildup was pretty believable and these two were incredibly hot together which helped break up the monotony at times.
This story confused me at times. I didn’t understand Nathan whole issue maybe a little backstory on why he was the way he was when it came to Cam. I think Cameron’s whole secret keeping issue made no sense. I didn’t get that at all. It was almost thrown in to add angst where there didn’t need to be. Also, we got no real resolution on Cam’s condition. I’m assuming that will be covered in the subsequent books but if people weren’t interested in those then they’re pretty much screwed.
Overall this was just an ok book like I mentioned. I may read the other two stories but I don’t feel overly anxious to do so.
