DNFing at 58% because I can smell the unnecessary complications coming and there isn't enough here for me to be worth slogging through that. Bishop's books are obviously very much just right for a certain kind of reader, but that reader just isn't me.

Loved it!

Another fun, hot story in the series. Sasha was my favourite, closely followed by Bo, for subtle humour. But all 3 men together were a perfect fit.
On to the nexgg in the series

If you like the idea of giant queer athletes pining away for their best friend, you should enjoy this. It's funny and sweet and sexy.

The author, by her own admission, is 'a romance and erotica author'. I think this shows in the sheer number of sex scenes there are in these two books. For my personal preference, there were far too many, but then I'm generally happy with two or three (or none at all), not one almost every chapter, but your mileage my vary. If you do like an abundance of sex scenes, rest assured they are very well done.

I read this immediately after Soft Hands. Again the sex scenes in this one come hot and heavy, sometimes with barely a scene break between them. I enjoyed this one from the outset, as Bo and Sasha (already a couple for 3 years) become 'fake' boyfriends for their best friend and captain to try and relieve his stress. David, the captain, has been in love with both men for a while but, uncertain if they are in a relationship, is reluctant to approach either and he obviously never considered approaching both of them. Of course, fake boyfriends soon become real boyfriends without anyone realising (although Sasha had an inkling). I have to say I adored Bo and Sasha as a couple, they were fun and sarcastic. They cared for each other and communicated all through the book. I didn't really think they needed to add a third in David, but once they had decided (together) that they would, they embraced him wholeheartedly.

I would say that the league they played in seemed to be a utopia for gay ice hockey players given the blanket acceptance they were afforded. Oh that it could be like that in real life, but a quick check of out gay hockey players gives a very short list that is predominantly female.

Took about 2 hours to read, and is written in 3rd person (alt MC pov), present tense.

Way too much sex. Felt more like reading smut then anything.

Loved it!

I always look for triad stories, often times I finish reading them and find myself disappointed. I’m glad that wasn’t the case with this story.

2.5/3 stars.

This is borderline porn with plot.

There is a lot of sex while the relationship develops in the background, which I quite liked, even though I didn't get the punch in the stomach that a focus on feelings give me.

There is not a lot of actual conflict here. The little there is mostly takes place in David's head, and could have been solved with communicaiton.

well written. and sweet.
