Drafted to play for the
Jacksonville Sea Storm, an NHL affiliate, twenty-year-old Lane
Courtnall’s future looks bright, apart from the awkwardness he feels as a
gay man playing on a minor league hockey team. He's put his foot in his
mouth a few times and alienated his teammates. Then, during a rivalry
game, Lane throws off his gloves against Jared Shore, enforcer for the
Savannah Renegades. It’s a strange way to begin a relationship.
Jared’s been playing minor league hockey for most of his career. He’s bisexual and doesn’t care if anyone knows. But he’s determined to avoid another love affair after the last one left him devastated. Out of nowhere a one-nighter with rookie Lane Courtnall gives him second thoughts. Lane reminds Jared why he loves the game and why love might be worth the risk. In turn, Jared hopes to show Lane how to be comfortable with himself on and off the ice. But they’re at different points in their careers, and both men will have to decide what they value most.

Review
Oh this book! I was in
love after chapter one. Lane is by far one of the funniest most
delightful characters I’ve ever read. I couldn’t get enough of his
quirkiness, social ineptness, and outspoken nature! He is HILARIOUS! Of
course Jared is pretty much his opposite. And he GETS Lane and because
it’s hockey and love it’s perfect!
I love hockey books, period. If you don’t like them don’t let this sway you from reading it. It’s not a technical know how about the game. It’s about the people who play it and the fact that behind the mask is a person who has all the same things to deal with as you do.
Avon Gale brings beauty and love to a rough and tough game! This is an outstanding book!
