A new team and a new beginning. Rafe swears off dating another teammate, but Mickey slots into his life and makes him so happy how can he deny that their friendship starts to fell like more?
From the blurb:
The last thing Rafael Moon needs is to fall in love with another teammate ...
Following a painful breakup, Rafe is looking forward to a fresh start in Boston, and he’s thrilled when he immediately clicks with his new D-partner, Mickey Krause.
Mickey’s smart, talented, and loves telling Rafe what to do. It feels good to have some structure and, finally, Rafe’s life is coming together on and off the ice.
As their friendship deepens, Rafe slowly realizes he’s falling for Mickey. Too bad he’s been down this road before. He knows exactly how badly it could end.
Roles are defined and tension smolders, but neither of them can stop their out-of-control feelings.
An independent perfectionist, Mickey’s had a rough season so far and he’s immediately smitten with Rafe’s sweet, earnest vibes.
Finally having someone who works well with him in the bedroom and beside him in a game has him hitting all his goals.
But when Mickey’s world is turned upside down following an altercation with Rafe’s ex, he’ll have to learn to let go and let someone else lead for once.
Their relationship and the team depend on it.
SNik's review:
Third in series (Scoring Chances), but can be read as a standalone. Teammates. Roommates. Demisexual and pansexual representations. Found family. Slow burn. Dual POV. Heed content warnings.
After Rafe asks for a trade to another hockey team due to the implosion of his relationship he vows never to date another teammate again, and then he meets Mickey. Finally a defensive partner Mickey might gel with, if only he wasn’t enormously attracted to Rafe, and keeping his distance doesn’t seem to be an option when Rafe follows instructions easily and looks like Mickey’s dream come true.
Another great hockey couple from Brigham Vaughn. Mickey and Rafe steadily build a friendship and partnership on the ice, and even though Mickey is attracted he absolutely honors Rafe’s wishes to remain friends. Both these characters are likable, with some fun supporting characters like their roommate and teammate Tanner, and some fun hockey with a team to root for. Sometimes the love is meant to be and nothing can stand in its way which is what I felt with Mickey and Rafe. This is a great series and I’m looking forward to more love matches with the Boston Harriers.

Heather's Review:
I love Rafe and Mickey together! This one is definitely a slow burn as Rafe battles his insecurities and these two become friends and partners both on and off the ice! I love how sweet and wonderful these guys are with each other and how well they mesh...
I also love the representation in this book - both demisexual and pan. Do heed the trigger warnings if you need to, but otherwise I recommend diving in with both feet!
