This is a very low spice read and I actually loved that with the story that this is. It made sense for them with what happened with the team before Morgan showed up.
This book did get quite emotional near the end. It definitely had me in tears. Especially when reading about what went on with Brody in particular when it came to the old captain (Issac coates). Brody is usually this very happy excitable guy and to read what happened to him to make him retreat into himself and feel so depressed absolutely broke me. I'm so glad that coates get what he deserves in the end.
The bond that team has after everything they've been through is absolutely incredible. Instead of pulling apart from what they went through, they banded together and were never apart which I absolutely loved reading about.
I don't think I've read a hockey romance(or any sports romance)quite like this one. I absolutely recommend.

I did this re-read in the midst of global turmoil when I needed something I knew I would love that I could turn to. And it did not disappoint… although I am very much looking forward to my re-read of the short stories following Lawson & Brody!
I remembered from my first read that

5/15/23 First Review:
I loved this book! I connected deeply with the characters and I found the plot compelling and emotional. Depictions of abuse and survivorship are never going to work for everyone, but I thought they were beautifully done in this book.
Before I read these two books (Gravity and TROTS) I saw a write up about the author that said usually the MCs have their “I love you”s by about 40% of the book, and the third act conflict is something external to them, and boy were they right!
I was a little surprised by this book
The things about Shea
I cried when they were in Dallas and Shea left the bar, and when he came back to Morgan’s bed and begged him to try, relenting to a casual relationship, and again when Morgan got his shit together and finally told Shea they could date.
But most of all, I cried
I read a few reviews from folks who thought that the book was pointless after
The author’s website says there will be more in this hockey universe, and I can’t wait!

The story itself is ok with a interesting story line, a few laughs at the beginning, and interesting characters. Single POV and the story is mostly a telling of what has happened more so than actually describing what is happening. This make the book tedious and long winded. And the feelings and drama and self doubt and insecurities is too much, all the time.
Painstakingly made my self finish it due to stubbornness and a stretch of free time. Feeling a bit of trepidation to start with another of the authors books, which supposedly, is better.
