Customer Reviews Summary

If platforms allowed more than 5 stars, this book would earn it. Ilya and Shane's journey is equal parts humorous, sad, devastating, heartbreaking, romantic and sexy. The story elicited all the emotions. I was completely swept away.I literally began this book laughing to myself and simultaneously wanting to wrap Ilya and Shane in a giant fictional hug.Chapters later I had tears sliding down my cheeks--both sad and angry. The absolute angst these men are experiencing as they struggle with believing they need to keep their love and relationship a secret and wanting a normal life where they can share their love for each other with the world absolutely ripped my heart in two. I'm not sure I've ever felt this level of indignant anger for fictional characters before. The beginning is heavy, and romantic, and sad, and it absolutely destroyed me. Ilya remains Ilya. His snark is hilarious. His possessiveness and protectiveness of Shane is touching and oh so very attractive.Shane is Shane. Anxious. Focused. Intense. Afraid. Kind of oblivious. A bit selfish.The forbidden aspect of their relationship makes heightens the attraction for Shane. The same aspect is breaking Ilya apart. Shane is thriving. Ilya is disintegrating. [Cue reader anger. Ilya must be protected at all costs]Ilya's inner turmoil is heartbreaking. His recurring dream hints at a much deeper meaning...that Ilya is ready for the world to know, but Shane is taking too long to meet him in the same space. Despite the heaviness, this book is still filled with the wit, banter, humor, love and spice we CRAVE from our favorite hockey couple. It also solidifies that Ottawa is truly the best space for our beloved Troy and Ilya (and others). The ending is absolutely worth every moment of sadness, and heartache. Pretty certain I will be riding that book high for days.Worthy of many more than 5 stars for the characters, the plot, for delicately dealing with mental health and the fundamental right for everyone to love who they love out in the sunshine.
