Avon Gale has a great thing going with this series and I look forward to facing off with book three soon.Carver was born into a poverty-stricken family at the tail-end of the Depression. I especially liked Ethan having to make decisions about where his career should go once the season is over.Īs with Breakaway, I loved everything about this book–the romance, the hockey, the stories that were tangent to the romance.

It’s a study of contrasts as Ethan can’t understand Riley’s family situation while at the same time Riley is practically adopted by Ethan’s family with hardly any questions at all. Ethan comes from a very supportive family while Riley’s from a wealthy but distant family. Should they make out? Should they get naked?

The build up between these two is perfect as they try to read each other’s signals. It also makes him consider Riley in a way he hadn’t expected.

Riley and Ethan are roommates and one day Ethan stumbles on the porn bookmarks Riley has on his laptop. This time out goalie Riley Hunter and defenseman Ethan Kennedy take center stage after having been supporting characters in the Breakaway.

This book picks up shortly after Breakaway as a new season gets underway for the Jacksonville Sea Storm. I’m so happy I moved in to Save of the Game by Avon Gale so soon after I finished Breakaway.
