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.
