Cute low angst romance.
From the blurb:
Caden Kelly
They all say I was born with a natural talent. But skill isn’t the same as passion, and I’ve never loved hockey. Not the spotlight, not the pressure, and definitely not the expectations that come with being my father’s son.
I dream of a quieter life—one where I build and create instead of perform for a crowd. But in my father’s world, dreams are irrelevant. Control is everything. And he’s a ruthless expert at keeping me in line. So when he pushes me to sign with a new team far from home, I don’t argue. I never do.
Then Asher “The Ace” Landry steps onto the ice and into my life. I’ve seen his face on screens countless times, Stanley Cup champion turned assistant coach. But in person, he’s nothing like I imagined. Thoughtful. Attentive. Safe. And somehow, he sees me, even when I’m trying my hardest to disappear.
The truth is, I’m lost. On the ice. In my family. And in these new, confusing feelings Ash stirs in me. But something’s shifting, and as the pressure builds to a breaking point, I realize maybe it’s time I start fighting for my life, not the one planned out for me.
DuffetteReads review:
One of the things I enjoyed was the author refers to this as a fade to black on the sports, not the romance. I'm not a sports fan so sometimes I get lost in the sports plot when the sports is overly mentioned in my stories. This one was perfect for a non sports fan who loves sports romances. I'm weird and I like what I like.
I loved watching these two navigate their feelings and actually communicate like adults.
Even though it started as a forbidden romance, my anxiety levels remained low because of how well these characters talked about things before throwing caution to the wind. It was very refreshing.
I look forward to Coach Zane next.
