It drove me nuts how insane that they kept acting like the MC being closeted was a choice, when he was absolutely trying to protect him nephew, which It drove me nuts how insane that they kept acting like the MC being closeted was a choice, when he was absolutely trying to protect him nephew, which thank god, based on what ends up happening. The out MC knew what he was getting into and knew why the other guy was staying closeted. I was so confused that it seemed to escalate, the horribleness of the closet, GIVEN how the chaos and stress of his life THAT WAS KEEPING HIM CLOSETED was literally getting worse and worse? Why didn't they work together to change their circumstances to that coming out was more realistic instead of just guilting him over it again and again? ...more
I love that the characters were both Canadian, wish they had told us what town in Quebec tho. This book was awesome but wtf happened with the pacing? I love that the characters were both Canadian, wish they had told us what town in Quebec tho. This book was awesome but wtf happened with the pacing? We had so much momentum and then it just ended? Where was the denouement, the ending and then the epilogue? Strange.
Hope we get like 1o more books in this series. ...more

I was a bit disappointed that the coming out was because someone ended up in the hospital, solely because its such a cliche and this author is so inventive. I was also a bit weirded out that Eli warned about going through a depression after his injury and that never really happened. But both of these criticisms are really nit picky, this book was awesome! ...more
**spoiler alert** The whole situation with the university administration was unbelievable. Maybe the coach's behaviour was plausible, but the rest of **spoiler alert** The whole situation with the university administration was unbelievable. Maybe the coach's behaviour was plausible, but the rest of it was just asking for a law suit. Also the pacing was INSANE, like the entire book, where so much took place, happened in a 2 week period? That really ruined the book for me. It would have been way more organic if they had dated for a few months in secret before everything else happened. ...more
I laughed so much! THIS WAS GREAT! Honestly, the blurb sounded horrible to me, but I knew this author would deliver, kinda like a lot of Hazard books.I laughed so much! THIS WAS GREAT! Honestly, the blurb sounded horrible to me, but I knew this author would deliver, kinda like a lot of Hazard books. I loved the characters, the setting, the dynamic, the background characters, the pacing, and the twists towards the end of the book.
ALSO I loved the lesbian hockey players, wish there was more of that in MM hockey books....more
