Rhian has been having problems lately. Everyone is assuming what his problem is but no one directly asks him. Savannah and Garrett think he needs space. His teammates think he needs a woman in his bed. Eventually it comes to a head and secrets come out over Christmas.

I love this series. I love this people. The relationship between Savannah, Rhian, and Garrett is great as well as hot. I like how Savannah and Garrett always are reassuring Rhian and showing him their love for him. I also like show more the extended families. His teammates are a hoot. Jean-Michel and Noel are a hoot and poor Henri is left to roll his eyes and try to pull them out of trouble. They are also oblivious to themselves. I'd like to hear their story as well as Henri's.

Just a good series! show less

Garrick isn't sure she is serious but she is so he does. Both men figure it would be only until one is called up to the Bruins. Can they end it or will it get messy?

I liked this book a lot. It was hot! Now I have to finish the series to find out what happens to Savannah, Garrick, and Rhian. Also what happens when Garrick retires show more and becomes a full-time owner? show less

Dealing with reconstruction at the hockey arena as well as managing the Ice Cats, Rupert needs to find his little brother in England. He is not prepared to handle everything in addition to Callum Morrison, part owner of the team and NHL goalie. Callum has his own problems to deal with but he becomes a source of strength of Rupert as his life changes.

I liked all the characters in this book. I wish I would have bought the whole series at once because I want to know more about all these people. show more This was not a typical m/m sports story. There was so much packed in this book. I loved how these characters became a family though few of them were related by blood. It was a good portrayal of how regular life impacts careers and how what you think you want is not what you really want or is good for you.

There are pasts that come to light. There are issues within each person's life that must be dealt with. Watching Rupert and Callum open up to each other was wonderful. Watching them present a united front when dealing with Oliver, Rupert's young brother, and Christian, a pre-teen boy who may be gay is amazing. I could feel the love these guys had for each other, the children, and their friends.

I am getting the rest of this series. This book was so amazing. show less

99.9% of the time I would wholly be against this kind of set up, but for some weird reason, Alexei's gift was I hate to say it thoughtful, unconventional, and somehow worked out very, very well.

Be reassured that Alexei and Mike love each other soooo much and there is never, everany doubt of show more that. Filled with the holiday spirit, it brings home the importance of family, not only the one you're born with, but the family you make with others.

Sentimental, sappy, and wow - oh so smexy! show less
