About this listen
What happened in high school stayed in high school. Until now.
Five years ago Michael Graham betrayed the only person who ever really knew him. Since then he's made an art of hiding his sexual orientation from everyone. Including himself. So it's a shock when his past strolls right into the Harkness College locker room, sporting a bag of hockey gear and the same slow smile that had always rendered Graham defenseless.
For Graham, there is only one possible reaction: total, debilitating panic. With one loose word, the team's new left wing could destroy Graham's life as he knows it.
John Rikker is stuck being the new guy. Again. And it's worse than usual, because the media has latched on to the story of the only "out" player in Division One hockey. As the satellite trucks line the sidewalk outside the rink, his new teammates are not amused. And one player in particular looks sick every time he enters the room.
Rikker didn't exactly expect a warm welcome from Graham. But the guy won't even meet his eyes. From the looks of it, his former...best friend/boyfriend/whatever isn't doing so well. He drinks too much and can't focus during practice.
Either the two loneliest guys on the team will self-destruct from all the new pressures in their lives, or they can navigate the pain to find a way back to one another. To say that it won't be easy is the understatement of the year.
Warning: Unlike the other books in this series, this heartbreaking love story is about two guys. Contains sexual situations, dance music, snarky T-shirts, and a poker-playing grandmother.

Slow burn, Big love
These boys! Kind and smart and damaged and sexy. Performances were lovely to listen to. Passionate and heartbreaking. Closeted and Bigoted stories are always so tough but I just wanted to keep listening and hoping they’d make it together

Fun and sweet
The book was wonderful and really fun, but emotional and sweet.
The biggest issue I had was with the audio quality. It was a bit grainy but I still enjoyed the book a lot!

Recommend!
This book was so well written and such honest, real life reactions to highs and lows of all aspects of life. Particularly felt the struggles of carrying years of guilt and how that impacts our everyday actions.
The narration as expected was perfection! I am a long time fan of Teddy H, but new to hearing Christian Fox and will definitely be on the look out for his books moving forward. Both narrators did an amazing job with distinct voices for characters, a great job with the female voices, and above all else - made us really feel the pain, heartache, vulnerability, through to joy, love and all that’s in between. Did not disappoint!

Love these narrators.. Christian Fox is 🤌
One of Sarina Bowen’s best. I loved this story and the beautiful, sometimes angsty relationship between the 2 mc’s. Thoroughly recommend ❤️❤️

Angsty Goodness
Wow, these boys seriously needed hugs all the way through this story. Their childhoods left them with so much baggage. Of course it was great that they got it together eventually but the HFN was pretty hard to come by. If you are looking for an angsty read then this one fits the bill.
🎧 I found it difficult to distinguish the different characters from these two narrators 🎧

Exceptional
I was not really interested in trying this book due to the fact that I have not been well enough educated in sexual areas of life. I decided to give it a try to see what info could assist me to understand and what terms meant, and how difficult it is for young person to find their sexuality. I was Mesmerised By the story. The narration was good and I would look forward to a follow-up … brilliant.
