This book was so sweet and lovely. We met Ryan, enforcer for Ilya's team in Boston and then traded twice until he ended up now in Toronto, where he runs into Fabian, the son of his high school hockey billits. They both don't know that the other had a crush on them back then, but they start to hang out and flirt and grow closer now. Fabian is a musician, and is very femme as far as his style, and Ryan finds his confidence to be so opposite of what society expects of men very attractive. Ryan deals with anxiety and panic around flying, socializing, fighting, all things he had to do for his job, so he's in therapy and on medication to deal with that and his general self worth issues, but is still having a rough go at times and that and the meds have affected his sex drive. Fabian is patient and approaches things differently to help him be comfortable, while hating that his huge, softy boyfriend has to fight and play injured at times (this becomes a big conflict for them). The way these two care for each other is great, there's more talk about mental illness (SPOILER: including death of a player from another team due to suicide), and we get to see many of the side characters we loved already.
