This is not a bad book. It's... fine. I have nothing truly bad to say about it, but it was kind of boring, and the story ends off on a cliffhanger (be warned, it's definitely a HFN situation, not a HEA). It felt like the book should have been longer, like we're missing the part where we get to actually see them together. Blake, one part of the main couple,

never tells Elliot that he loves him

. We definitely should have seen that at least.  

I also feel like the "three is the luckiest number" thing

(in which Elliot kisses Blake three times for good luck)

is surprisingly insignificant to the story. It happens maybe twice that I can remember, and Elliot doesn't really care about the number 3 outside of it. It's not that big of a deal, but it is strange because that's what the book is literally named after.

I don't think this book is bad by any stretch of the imagination, but I also think there's much better second chance/gay hockey romances out there, even by this author.
