The Nature of the Game by Amy AislinMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sports books are so fun to read, but a second chances hockey story is like winning a prize!
Told from dual POV's with alternating flashbacks and present, Amy Aislin created a deep, emotional trip through six years of pain and hurt and growth and regret.
Dan and Ash both discovered they were bi when their friendship turned into love. Something happened to shake the world they knew and six years later Dan shows up in Ash's life again.
I will admit, I was annoyed and confused at why Ash was adamant about not wanting an explanation for Dan's walking away. Looking back I can see that he wasn't ready to know, wasn't in a place where he could forgive or even listen, but it just went on and on.
I did really enjoy the back and forth, getting the full story of then and now... of how much they'd changed and grown. They were so good together. I felt their relationship in my bones. I was gripping my pillow just waiting for the moment that everything just clicked.
By the end, I was thrilled with the story, how everything played out, the love and support of the team and coaches and the HEA that was created. Very sweet second chance story!
