Blurb:

Victor Kalinski and his husband, Dan Arou, are living the dream. Married for over a year now, the couple have settled into life in Cayuga surrounded by friends, family, and a team that’s poised to make another championship run. Each man is enjoying professional success as well as personal bliss. Who knew life in the suburbs with a spouse and a child could be so darn satisfying? Not Vic. K, that’s for sure.

The happy times are about to turn rough, though. The Cougars have picked up a new player, Sander March, a brash young center whose sass, skill, and attitude can rival Victor’s. When it’s revealed that this new player and Dan have history, tensions begin to rise between the newlyweds. As Victor and Dan work on those issues, the one person Victor never thought he would meet arrives in the small New York hamlet and proceeds to flip everything in Vic’s life upside down. 

Can Victor and Dan’s marriage withstand what life is about to drop on it, or will the challenges be too much for them to handle?

5 Stars

I love Vic and Dan and I’m always in the mood for more of their story and Ms. Locey doesn’t disappoint. This was a well-written and emotional continuation to their story. These are definitely two of my favorite guys, and while I know Vic is an acquired taste, I absolutely love him. My heart broke for him watching him deal with his insecurities and doubts, but I love that Dan is there with him and for him. Dan knows when to back off, when to show him love and comfort and when to tell him where to go.

The chemistry between them is recaptured nicely in this installment and the sex was plentiful and smoking hot! I loved getting to see Dan and Vic with Vic’s son, Jack, who is absolutely adorable. All in all, I absolutely loved this portion of Vic and Dan’s story and I’m hoping it won’t be their last book. I’m also looking forward to Sander’s story next. This was an enjoyable sexy, sad, but also funny addition to the series that I’d definitely recommend!
