Heartbreak Hockey Book 3: Breakneck Hockey by S. Legend

 

Heartbreak Hockey Book 3

I don’t want Casey Alderchuck, but I don’t want anyone else to have him either.

My hook-up for the night wasn’t supposed to be my long-time hockey rival, but here he is. I’m too worked up to let him go home without having a taste. One little bite of that smart mouth is mine for the taking after how many times he’s broken my nose.

How was I supposed to know that I’d crave Alderchuck with the desperation of a starved man?

I’m always one bad day from an explosion, but since I hooked up with Alderchuck, my body’s constantly on fire. I’m thinking about things I haven’t in a long time. He’s dredged years of buried torment to the surface.

The cure? Alderchuck. My poison is my cure. How poetic.

At least he can’t keep his hands off me and our burning hatred is mutual. The flavor’s gotta wear off at some point, and that’s when we’ll go our separate ways. Until then, I’ll come up with every way imaginable to wreck him from the inside out. Use him up till there’s nothing left.

But I’m nothing if not territorial and protective. My instincts decide that Casey Alderchuck is mine and they pull him closer. My damn heart’s a traitor, too, trying to break the locks I put around it to let him inside. But I can’t let it win. Loving people like I would love Casey means risking the fragile sanity I’ve worked so hard to preserve.

Breakneck Hockey is a rivals-to-lovers story with some hurt-comfort, along with other vibes, like; I Can Hurt Him but You Can’t, Major Jealousy, Just Because I Say I Don’t Want Him, Doesn’t Mean You Can Have Him, Possessiveness Galore, a Morally Gray MC and, as always in this series, Found Family.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

I’ve been looking forward to Casey and Sutter’s story. We’ve seen peeks of their rivalry so far and now we finally get to see where it began and what happens next. To sum up these two, they are just chaotic. And yet, even when they are chaos together, they are also a peace to one another too. Casey and Sutter have always been rivals on the ice. There isn’t a game where they aren’t beating one another up. They come out with broken noses and bruises galore. And after a particularly brutal game against one another, both seek out a hook up on an app. And fate loves to mess with them because both are shocked when they meet up and see one another. Casey has been wondering if his coach was right and maybe they needed to hook up to get over the crap between them. And looks like Sutter seeing him brings him to the same conclusion. After an epic hook up neither expected to happen, they are hooked to one another. It begins a long story of push and pull, on and off, chaos and peace. Their banter is constant and entertaining all the way through. They fight and make up in epic proportions. They just fit together. What really holds them back a lot is their vulnerabilities. It takes them a long time to really acknowledge and accept what is between them. I really loved their story. You just never knew how these two would react and I loved that they kept one another on their toes and how they learned to read one another so well. Another great story to this series and I’m looking forward to the next one!
