Cat's Review of Delayed Penalty: An M/M Hockey Romance (Scoring Chances Series) by Brigham Vaughn @brighamvaughn @neonrainbow @tammystwocents X- @AuthorBVaughn @TTCBooksandmore

The last thing Thad Racine needs is to fall for a guy playing for his brother's hockey team ... 

As an ex-con, Thad’s had a rough life. Getting a job in the social media department of the Boston Harriers is his last-ditch effort at a fresh start.

He may not be raking in money like his previously estranged twin—the team’s GM—but he finally has a career he likes, a regular paycheck, and some stability. There’s only one catch: if he screws around with anyone working for the Harriers, he’ll be fired.

The last thing he expects is to fall for Graham Pennington.

The golden boy. The high-scoring forward who’s a crucial part of the team. The assistant captain.

Oh yeah, and he’s straight.

Falling in love with his GM’s brother isn’t part of Graham’s five-year plan.

Graham knows what he wants: find love and help lead his team to a Stanley Cup win.

So why do none of his relationships with women ever seem to work out?

After a totally unexpected but sizzling kiss with his friend Thad, he’s confused and a little conflicted. Has he been looking for love in all the wrong places?

Graham’s desire to be with Thad wars with his goal of helping the team find success. Despite Thad’s growing feelings, he’s terrified to risk his new career or the relationship he’s slowly rebuilding with his brother.

When the pressure from their secrets threatens their carefully laid plans, will they be ready to risk everything for love?

I've been waiting on Thad's story and wasn't disappointed. 

I love that Thad isn't... how do I put it... perfect. He has a big history, is an ex-con and you do need to read this series in order for best understanding but at least his brother Gavin's book for sure. 

I love how he is trying to rebuild a life but still makes a few not-so-great choices. I love a flawed MC. I also like Griff and love a gay for you or bi awakening. I liked how he just didn't suddenly say... oops I s I have a thing for Thad now I'm gay. I like how he fought it. Just feels more real. 

Now grab the book and see if and how they get together and the road to it because there are several big pitfalls...like Griff's mother.
