This is the second book in the series and I really enjoyed it.I just loved Bryant and Gabriella they were fantastic characters and I really liked that they were friends first and supported each other I really liked watching their feelings develop they were perfect together but his family omg they make mine look normal was a set of wack jobs.A super addition to the series looking forward to the next one.

Slap Shot is a crisp, clear story about characters who have some darkness in their past. Bryant is a star hockey player who is hiding a big secret from his friends on his team: when he was 19, his pregnant wife died, and years later his family won't let go of his tragedy. He wants to move on but isn't sure how, until he makes a connection with Gabriella. Unfortunately, she is the sister of Bryant's teammate, and the bro code is clear: he should stay away. Gabriella's brother is especially protective, because their family was ripped apart by abuse in the past.

This book isn't about Bryant and Gabriella's tragic pasts, but how they are eager to move beyond them. They have to learn to assert themselves to their families - and they do, with sincerity and charm, not angst.

This book is part of a series, but can be understood on its own.
