| For Puck’s Sake Book 2 |
Every game begins with a good starting line.
Ethan
I’ve been secretly married for eight years. Why is it a secret? Because having an open marriage splashed all over headlines isn’t a good look. We’d constantly be under the spotlight; our lives and relationships judged. That’s not the kind of hockey player I want to be known for. Especially because we play for different teams.
Although most of my relationships outside of my marriage are passing, I’ve been pining over my best friend and teammate for years. YEARS! Just as I decide that maybe it’s time to see where this leads, management throws an unexpected play in our faces.
It might be over before it begins and I’m not sure what to do about it.
Creed
Since the day I was swapped to Buffalo, I’ve been in love with Ethan Wilder. He’s an intense player, breaking records every year. But he’s also fun, sweet, thoughtful, and gorgeous. He’s everyone’s perfect dream.
When he tells me he wants to be more than friends, I almost jump him right there in the locker room. Things between us heat up quickly and I’ve never been happier. Everything is perfect.
Except our starting line. We’ve been through four right wingmen in the last three seasons but no matter who management brings on board, they just don’t gel with me and Ethan. Now they’ve thrown us a trick play that I’m not sure we’re going to be able to work around - on the ice or off.
It’s not just the starting line we need to worry about. In fact, this complication could put the entire team - and our new relationship - on ice.

My Review: 4/5 Stars
Ethan has been secretly married to the love of his life, Jakob, for the last eight years. They have had an open marriage in their relationship and have kept their marriage a secret because of their careers as NHL players. This marriage has always worked for them because of their stellar communication and knowing that at the end of the day, their love is stronger than anything else. But Ethan has also fallen in love with his best friend Creed for the last few years. Something that Jakob has seen and supported and encouraged for Ethan to do something about. And Ethan finally believes that the time has finally come to see where this goes with Creed. Because Ethan has always known, the same way he knew with Jakob, that Creed is other love of his life. And that the three of them were always meant to be together. Creed has wondered over the last few years when Ethan would make his move. Creed has known about Jakob from the beginning. He is the only person that Ethan has told about Jakob. He’s had a few years to understand and get used to the idea. Now, they are finally starting their relationship. Just in time for to be thrown for a loop. When Jakob gets traded to their team, it’s a dream come true but also worrisome. The three of them can’t hide who they are to one another anymore. And the time they had planned to spend together the three of them is moved up. However, the moment these three are together, it’s like the puzzle is finally complete. Even for Creed who wondered how he would fit, he doesn’t expect the welcome that Jakob provides. And even Jakob himself is surprised by the feelings that come when he gets to be there with Creed. The three of them were always meant to be! Doesn’t mean challenges from the rest of the world won’t come. I really loved this story. It’s a very interesting dynamic of a poly relationship, but these three do it right. The love between them all is so strong, the chemistry is off the charts, there is no doubt these three our soulmates and they’ve been waiting for one another all this time. Really great story!
