Synopsis
A freak accident during the Stanley Cup Playoffs put an end to Max Ashford’s hockey career. Despite everything, Max gets back into the game he loves—only this time behind the bench, as an assistant coach of the Spartanburg Spitfires, the worst team in the entire league. But nothing prepares him for the shock when he learns the new head coach is Misha Samarin, the man who caused Max’s accident.
After spending years guilt-ridden for his part in Max’s accident, Russian native Misha Samarin has no idea what to do when he’s confronted with Max’s presence. Max’s optimism plays havoc with Misha’s equilibrium—as does the fierce attraction that springs up between them.
Not only must they navigate Misha’s remorse and a past he’s spent a lifetime trying to forget, but also a sleazy GM who is determined to use their history as a marketing hook. But when an unwelcome visitor targets a player, Misha revisits his darkest days, and that might cost him and Max the beginning they’ve worked so hard to build.

Review
So,
it's a pretty well known fact that I adore Avon Gale's Scoring Chances
series. Like a lot of you. And of the four books in the series so far,
Power Play is most definitely my favorite because Misha. Misha, Misha,
Misha. Oh I love Max, too, don't get me wrong, and the epicness that is
the bromance between Isaac and Misha is everything, but like I stated,
Misha. That all being said, my anticipation of the audio of Power Play
was off the charts and I'm so SO happy to tell you all that Scott R.
Smith delivered another performance that is utter perfection. I had this
voice in my head while I was reading the book of what Misha could and
would sound like and Smith gave me all that I wanted and more. Not only
do I think he rocked Misha's voice with all his gruffness and Russian
accent to boot, but he captured the exuberance of Max and the feistiness
of Isaac, too.
Seriously
folks, this series is one of the best out there. The writing is off the
charts engaging and spot on, and Smith's narration just adds to the
awesome. You'll laugh and swoon and there's a few times you might even
wipe your eyes because there's a bit of everything in Power Play and all
of the Scoring Chances books. I can't recommend both reading and
listening enough. If you miss out on these, you're really going to be
sorry.
