This book is not only a second chance romance but a coach/player romance. Clay Powers is the coach of the Colorado team, and when veteran goalie Jethro Hale is traded to them, neither is happy. They used to play together in the minor leagues and occasionally hooked up. Things ended poorly, and now they must figure out how to work together professionally. Jethro sees this as a way to right the wrongs of the past, but Clay doesn’t know if he can move forward.
Clay and Jethro were both interesting characters, struggling with their family histories. The tension between the two was palpable, and I loved watching them talk about their history and how to move forward. I found myself connecting with Jethro and a lot of his feelings. Their romance was sweet and kind.
This book is told mostly in the present timeline, with some flashbacks to 15 years ago when they were teammates. The one thing I did struggle with was the past timelines and how the POVs were written. I did, however, like to see what happened with them 15 years ago, as it gave me a greater understanding of their past and how it moved into their future.
I loved the inclusivity of the team and management regarding LGBTQIA+ team members. I know this is not how sports can be, especially for men, but I like to think this optimistically can be something that will happen.
This was a great book about love and finding and understanding your first love. If you like a second chance romance with two people who talk to each other. This is perfect for you! Thank you to the author for a copy of this book. All opinions are 100% mine.
