Denis
I’m the best goalie in the league.
Just ask me.
Yes, I have an ego the size of NYC. Maybe that’s why I’ve crashed and burned all my relationships. Love, like a hockey game, is a competition. And once I win, I’m ready for the next game, the next man.
Until I meet him. Sterling Forest. The arrogant, obnoxious news anchor who calls hockey players thugs on ice. He tempts me…intrigues me. Makes me want to kiss that scowl off his lips. I want him to burn for me.
Instead Sterling is the one to set my heart on fire.
Sterling
I know nothing about hockey, and I’m happy to keep it that way. I’ve apologized for my remarks, but the insufferable Denis Bouvier isn’t satisfied. I even do the unthinkable and attend a hockey game. Okay, maybe it is more than brute force. But I can’t tell him he’s right.
Now he’s everywhere I go, and I hate that he fascinates me.
I can’t escape his larger-than-life presence, and that sexy French accent. The more I push him away, the closer he pulls me in.
And I’m afraid to admit I don’t want to let him go.
We’ve spent years running away from broken families and broken promises. But when life explodes around us, we’re running toward each other. And now that the unthinkable has happened, we need to find trust in each other and what our hearts are saying: love is the one thing that ultimately can save us.

Cat gives this book 5 Meows with a 2 purr heat index...
This is Brooklyn Blades book 2 but stands alone fine, however you have a better understanding of Rip and Denis relationship and a few other things mentioned if you read the first.
Things I loved, all the characters...
I loved that Denis is arrogant, but you can see he is hiding something, like built walls.
I loved that I could just hear that sexy accent.
I loved Sterling and that he too is pretty arrogant instead of opposites attract seems like same's attract.
There was just something about the chemistry between the two that is swoon worthy.
I loved the storyline and how Denis goes after Sterling.
Theres great characters, great plot, just enough steam, a bit of slow burn, some good hockey action, lots of romance and as expected from Felice Stevens, all the feels. I highly recommend.
Felice Stevens has always been a romantic at heart. She believes that while life is tough, there is always a happy ending around the corner. Her characters have to work for it, because just like life in NYC, nothing comes easy and that includes love.
Felice is the 2020 Lambda Literary Award winning author in best Gay Romance and two time e-Lit award winner in romance. When not writing or watching reality television, you can find her in her reader group.
