BLURB:

Nathan Barres has always loved hockey more than anything else, and as captain of his team the pressure is on to perform well. When a hook up with Felix Moore stirs feelings he’s not comfortable with, he flees the scene. He’s not expecting to see Felix ever again. So when an injury knocks him out at the start of a new season, he’s less than pleased to see the Winnipeg Wolves newest physical therapist is none other than his one night fling.

Time hasn’t dulled their chemistry, and Nathan’s feelings are back like they’d never left. When Felix proposes a way to burn through the energy between them, how is Nathan supposed to say no. It might be all fun and games to Felix, but Nathan needs to get whatever this is out of his system. Unrequited love? No, thank you.

REVIEW:

I love hockey stories, so I grabbed this one up as soon as I saw it. I was not disappointed. It is the start of the season when this story begins, so we get plenty of hockey action, but not too much as to overwhelm the story. Hockey Captain, Nathan, hooks up with one-night stand, Felix, only to find that Felix has taken the job as physical therapist for the team. They hook up again which then becomes a thing and the outspread of miscommunication takes form.

Nathan is not out publicly, though his team all knows and is supportive. It is easy to see why Felix would back off emotionally from that. However, Nathan is a little dense at times where Felix is concerned, and while the continue to have explosive sex, each try to keep feelings out of it for just about the same reasons, and it is only a matter of time before the collision course they’ve set off on comes to a head. There is jealousy, but they both do their best to not act jealous, which backfires, of course. And much of the story is more of the same.

Thank goodness for Nathan’s amazing teammates who finally organize an intervention between the two. I especially loved Renner who was supportive but didn’t want to overstep until he didn’t feel like he had a choice. His mom is also pretty awesome. I am a little disappointed this isn’t the start to a series, as I would love to see more of these guys in an actual relationship, or more of the other guys, but it ended on a satisfying note. I will definitely be on the lookout for more from Ms. Harding in the future.
