Oskar is a handsome, charming, flirty, wild, snarky player that thrives on getting attention...good or bad. He does what he wants, acts out, and does not care who he annoys or what trouble he leaves in his wake...until it threatens his one safe space...hockey. He has trust and self-worth issues he has buried deep down under his easy-going, devil-may-care facade. Lane is a gay, single, work-a-holic who is confident, bossy, stubborn, stoic, and in control. He has had some toxic relationships and tends to be a fixer which has left him used in the past. But he is all about his job now.

Lane had no idea that it would lead to him taking care of some of Oskar's special needs or that he would like it so much. Or that seeing behind Oskar's tough facade would make him actually like the more vulnerable guy he does not let others see. And Oskar has never trusted anyone enough to be himself and believe that he could be enough. This is a fun, feisty, fiery, forbidden, forced-proximity, hockey player-PR agent romance. I am such a sucker for an anti-hero redemption story. Oskar is a lot to handle in the beginning but I loved seeing who he really is under all that bravado. And Lane gets him, but also does not let him get away with things and is not a pushover. These two challenge each other just enough and give each other what they really needed but were afraid they would never get. It's about trust, self-worth, vulnerability, being true to yourself, and fighting for what you want. It brings back cameos from the Queer collective and other series, and introduces a couple more new guys. I am looking forward to more in this series.
