Blurb

When love is on the line, the worst decisions can end up having the best endings.
Tate Collins, an all-American hockey phenomenon, was the highly marketable face of Dallas hockey. Loaded down with endorsements and playing his best game, he was a superstar and a household name. No one ever expected him to fail, but overnight, after the worst decision of his life, everything spirals out of his control. Abruptly, his reputation is in tatters, and he’s traded to the Arizona Raptors in a shocking move. Brushing off the wild and unfounded accusations that he faces on social media, and stuck on the second line, he keeps his head down and works hard to earn his spot. Tate knows he can make a difference if only his teammates would let him. Something has to change for him to earn their respect, but falling for the captain might not be his best move.

Vladislav Novikov has been called many things over his long and illustrious career, but the new nickname of Iceberg seems to fit best. Perhaps it’s due to his icy blue eyes, or the way he rams into opposing players as he defends his goalie. Or maybe it’s because of his cool demeanor when not playing the game he loves. Whatever the reason, it’s why he’s the perfect team captain for this wild bunch of puck-pushers. His perfectly controlled life is smooth as ice until Tate Collins rides into Tucson with his apple pie ways and those damn dimples. The young superstar immediately catches his eye. Despite knowing better than to start something with a teammate, the big, bad Iceberg is about to have that chilly veneer around his heart melted away by Tate one sweet kiss at a time.

REVIEW

Review by: Jennifer
(4 stars)


Tate and Vlad...  I don't even know where to start with this review. Tate's a bit of a mess; a wedding that was cancelled, an ex-fiancĂ© that is spreading lies, a new team that he knows he can help if they would just let him in a bit, and a captain that he can't seem to figure out.  Vlad hides his real self, his brother knows that he is gay, just not anyone else. Vlad is drawn to Tate, but he knows that with all the media surrounding Tate at the moment, now is not the time to try and start something, but he can't seem to help himself. Will the two learn to just be themselves and let a budding relationship grow or will it be over before it really starts?

I have read all the previous hockey stories from this duo and have loved them. I really enjoyed Vlad and Tate's story, and REALLY enjoyed that dabble into the Dom/sub lifestyle. I do feel that this was more rushed than the previous stories, I felt like there was some storyline missing and the jumps in time didn't help. There is some really good drama and some very nicely done naughty bits. I give this 4 stars.
