LOUIS
I thought I knew exactly who I was—until a career-threatening injury forced me to realize I was wrong about my hockey future. And my heart.
My name is Louis Tremblay, and I’ve spent twelve years being the King of the Crease and the life of the locker room. But when a brutal on-ice collision tears my world apart, I’m suddenly the guy on the sidelines watching a rookie take my net. My body is broken, my “straight guy” identity is crumbling after one too many dreams about my backup, and now management wants me to mentor that same backup who’s gunning for my job. Teaching Tanner Sinclair is supposed to save the team’s season, but the more I show him about life in the pros, the more I realize he’s the only one who truly sees me.
TANNER
I don’t do “low-maintenance” because I’m easy; I do it because I’ve spent my life trying not to rock the boat or cause problems. I came to the Seattle Sasquatch to prove I’m a starter, not to fall for the legendary veteran who thinks he has to push me away to save both our careers. Helping Louis through his injury was supposed to be a professional courtesy, but it ended up being the first time in my life I felt like I belonged. Now a starting job with another team is on the table, and the only thing more terrifying than leaving the man I’m falling for is staying in a net he thinks he has to give up for me.
The high-stakes world of pro-hockey only has room for a single Number One goalie. But as their connection grows, Louis and Tanner must decide if being the starter is a prize worth holding onto—or if they’re ready to rewrite the game plan together.
REVIEW:
Disclaimer: This is book two in the Seattle Sasquatch Hockey series. Which means you should have read book one before tackling this one. As characters from the first book appear in this one, plus it helps with tracking the overall plotlines.
This book combines two of my favorite things – Seattle and Hockey. The world building in this one gets even better. As we get more of the hockey world and more of the inner workings/dilemmas of some of the Sasquatch players.
Once again, Harper gives us a brilliantly detailed and in-depth look at not only the main characters of this book, but the side characters as well. In this story we have Louis and Tanner, goalies competing for the title of number one goalie. Louis is Seattle’s veteran Goalie who agrees to mentor the rookie goalie, Tanner. But along the way we get to see Louis’s bi-awakening when things become more personal with Tanner. I must also mention that I am a huge fan of animals being side characters. I will admit I am not a reptile fan, but I just love Cookie – Louis’s bearded dragon that has the best judgy game ever. He kind of steals the scene when he appears throughout the book.
From the beginning of this book, I was thoroughly engaged. From start to finish, this one brought out Harper’s A game. I was once again feeling all the feels, from the sexy times to the heartbreaking times. Does Cookie judge Tanner? Who wins the goalie battle? Do Louis and Tanner get their HEA? Darlings, do you really think I’m going to tell you? You know the drill, if you want to know all the details about Louis and Tanner’s you need to buy the book.
I highly recommend this book and series. So much so, that you need to rush to your nearest eBook purchasing site and score a copy of this book for yourself. I can’t wait for the next book in this great hockey series.
Till next time…
