Perfectly enjoyable.  I enjoyed the first book about Mitch and Alex and then DNF'ed the 2nd book about Ashton and Dan so I was hesitant about this one but I really really enjoyed it. After just reading The  Breakaway Series by E.L. Massey, this book is kind of reminiscent of that with the way that it's written and the portrayal of the characters. Roman in this book is very similar to Roman in All Hail The Underdogs by E.L. Massey in that they're both emotionally closed off and they purposely keep a prickly personality to keep people away because they're afraid of rejection because of their sexualities.  

I love Cody and Mitchell's friendship and I'm glad that we got to see more of it here.  I'm always a sucker for the found family trope relating to hockey teams so the fact that Roman became close with his hockey team was nice.  I am however annoyed that Cody's dad never

explicitly apologized for making Cody feel unwanted literally his whole life or explicitly stating that he does want Cody and is proud of him
