Slater Knox is known around the league as the tough enforcer for the Buffalo Bedlam. His popular social media accounts and open relationship with the fans have made him one of the most beloved players in hockey. They've also earned him a spot in the All Star game, and an invitation to be a bachelor at a charity auction. For all his living in the spotlight, he's hiding a secret... He's in love with his best friend and keeping quiet grows harder each day.
Noah Alzado is the newest addition to the team, and has spent the last few months joined at the hip with his best friend Slater. Slater is everything Noah wants, but won't let himself have. They are best friends, roommates, and teammates, that's three complications too many. Plus, Noah guards his private life as fiercely as Slater shares his own. His best option is to keep his head down, help his team win, and not do anything stupid... like kissing Slater again.
Everything comes to a head during All Star weekend, where the best in the league compete for ultimate bragging rights, and at the auction, where temptation is hot enough to melt the ice. The chemistry between Slater and Noah is scorching, but can they lower their defenses enough to make a play for love?
REVIEW
Review by: Jennifer
(4 Stars)
Slater and Noah are best friends, teammates, and also roommates. Their day to day life is pretty much done together; they have a routine, they know each others likes and dislikes. What they have is a relationship without the romantic aspect. So much so, that when a moment changes things, with Slater wanting more and Noah denying that request, Noah can't lose what he and Slater had. Now, Slater is going to be in that bachelor auction and it kills Noah that there may be someone else to take his place. Is his playing it safe going to cost him Slater in the long run? Should he man up and take the risk?
Slater and Noah's story was a good one; giving us some nice naughty bits, really good drama, a cast of supporting characters that make you wonder if they have books. This reels you in and keeps you hooked as you watch friends turn into lovers and has you hoping that they can stand the tests that get thrown at them. I give this 4 stars.
