After liking the first two books in this series a lot, I was looking forward to ‘Two-Man Advantage’ – and am happy to report that it fulfilled all my expectations, and then some! A hockey star “skating on the edge of a catastrophe” and a PR specialist “so adept he is called ‘the fixer’” are not exactly two men I’d have expected to match. And what did I find when I read this book? Two men, one more stubborn and rude than the other, misunderstandings and conflict preprogrammed before they even meet, and passion on both sides that promised the same sort of interpersonal sparks I saw in book one. What surprised me, in the best way possible, was a lot more character depth and a deeper back story than in the first two volumes. Both Viktor, the “catastrophic” hockey player, and Bo, the “miracle worker” are multilayered men whose issues are not easily solved. As a consequence, reading this book was quite the ride on more than one front!

Viktor is angry, belligerent, violent, and goes on the attack “just in case”. His aggression boils over at the slightest provocation and splashes out around anyone standing within three feet of him, metaphorically speaking. It hit me from the first page, and it was quite an experience – not just because it was so well done and utterly convincing, but also because I was curious to find out what caused it and I soon began to wonder if he’d ever be able to get rid of it. Behaviors and protective mechanisms – because that is largely what it is for Viktor – are there for a reason, and boy, does Viktor have reasons!

Bo is not exactly a wallflower either. He has more self-control than most people – to the point where he could be taken for an icicle rather than a man, but his inner energy and temperament are very similar to Viktor’s. Bo has learned to channel his aggression better, but fundamentally, he understands the people who get into a problem with the press because he knows how they feel. His success has made him arrogant to the point of nausea, and his need to control everything is a protective mechanism in its own right.

Watching these two “titans” clash was an amazing experience. Both men have emotional walls around them that seem hopelessly secure, and yet they both desperately need each other. I was on the edge of my seat following the revelations, their fights and progress, the heat of their physical encounters, and their desperate struggle to find a way to be in a relationship they both so clearly wanted, even though neither of them admits it for a very long time.

If you like stories about complicated characters who virtually kill each other before they figure out they are meant to be together, if you want to see opposite ends of the control spectrum clash and explode, and if you’re looking for a read that has character growth, deep passion, and offers a romance that is as rocky as it is complicated, then you will probably like this novel as much as I do. I sincerely hope the next one in this sports-based series is not too far from publication.
