There was quite a bit of ugly happening in this story. We have a fantastic college hockey player choosing to give up a shot at the NHL to stay at school and graduate. He's being pushed on all sides to keep up with hockey and to present a certain image. He decides to push back. I really liked the MC's here quite a bit, Erik and Tyce. Former best friends, former teammates. It's been five years since they've really talked and as Erik tries to take back control of his life he hopes that there's the possibility that Tyce will forgive him for leaving him behind. For the most part I really enjoyed the secondary characters here. Erik's teammates/roommates, Dix and Marshy, and Tyce's roommate, Sam. Unfortunately Erik's sister Arielle only has one volume that was scream. She's always yelling at Erik. Always. If she had been toned down just a bit I would have enjoyed her much more. She and one of the other hockey players had a sweet secondary romance and I really liked it. I would love to see Sam find someone. He was very funny and snarky. He needs to get some. ;)Lots of emotion here and revisiting old loves and hurts. I liked the flashback quotient which was just right and I loved Tyce and Erik together. They deserve it. Always have, always will.
