This was a re-read after reading it two years ago. I originally gave it 5 stars, and I really don't know what I was thinking! MC Samson was a complete and total dickhead and I found no redeeming qualities in him until about the last 10 pages of the book. My tastes in characters is slowly changing and I don't suffer doormats and bullies lightly anymore. *shrugs* (That's what I came up with anyway.)

If you are very forgiving (because MC Samson has a pretty good reason for being a dick, but it didn't change the emotion I felt while reading it) or enjoy all types of M/M romance, I can recommend this one. But if you don't like to see your heroes fucking other people during the course of a book, stay away from this one. You have been warned. ;)

Oh, and as far as the sport of hockey goes, we do see some play time in this book and a bit in the locker room, but nothing real substantial. ( )

2.5 stars. Light, cute story, but the characters and plot didn't really didn't grab me. (plus the switching of 'Gregory' and 'Samson' messed with my reading process in the beginning...) ( )
