This was a very fast read and just like the last 2, I loved it! It’s only 4 stars because I didn’t love the 3rd act breakup and how it all happened but I still loved Ryan & Fabian so much!! I loved how mental health was such a central topic in this book and specifically how taboo it is in the hockey/sports world! Ryan is such a sweetheart and seeing everything he had to deal with because of hockey and the culture was so heartbreaking! It was beautiful seeing him start to really come into himself and accepting that he deserved all kinds of love through his relationship with Fabian, his friendship with Wyatt, and his relationship with himself! Honestly just a really great addition to this series and I’m glad we got to see more of Ryan after meeting him briefly in Heated Rivalry!
