I am so glad that Rafe got a story! After getting a little bit of information about him in Dominik’s story I wanted to know more about him and see what happened for him after his was traded to the Carolina Cold Fury. Rafe’s story was emotional, heartbreaking and a beautiful second chance at love. I loved every single moment of this book. It was a fairly quick read and I do wish there was more because I fell in love with Rafe, his family and Calliope.

Rafe’s father is dying from cancer and things are progressing quickly, which is why Rafe ends up back in North Carolina during the middle of playoffs. He wants to be there for his father, spend time with him and of course, be there for his mother. The one person he didn’t expect was Calliope. His best friend growing up, his first love and the girl he left when he went pro. Calliope, I love her. Despite being heartbroken, she never left his family. She is there for them and helps when she can. You can feel the love she has for Rafe’s family and how much she cares.

The chemistry between Rafe and Calliope was fantastic. Despite what happened in the past there is still something there. They are drawn to each other, the feel each other, there is still so much there between them. They are each other’s rocks. She is someone that Rafe needs for support and love during this time.

Rafe is an emotional and heartbreaking story that had my ugly crying. This story is also beautiful. When life gives you a reality check and a second chance, you should take it. A MUST READ!
