Rules of the Game Book 6: Breaking the Rules by Brigham Vaughn

 

Rules of the Game Book 6

Rule #1: Don't fall in love with your agent. 

Trevor Underhill is a bottom D-pair grinder. A pest. The kind of player who makes it possible for the talent to score. 

Off the ice, he looks out for himself and never trusts anyone but his sister to have his back. 

Fresh off an ankle injury and annoyed that his endorsement deals keep falling through, he’s tired of his stuffy, boring agent telling him to clean up his act and grow up. 

Love is the last thing he’s looking for with anyone. 

Rule #2: Don’t give up on second chances. 

Former player Wade Cannon spent years in the closet until his retirement. 

Now with a successful career as an agent and an eleven-year-old son, his priorities are work and his kid. 

After the guy he was supposed to spend the rest of his life with bailed on them, he doesn’t trust anyone to stick around. 

When members of the Evanston Otters team come to him for help, he and Trevor wind up working closely together. 

Frustration leads to sizzling chemistry and an unexpected connection. 

Falling in love with a client could jeopardize Wade’s career just as an explosive discovery threatens not only the Otters’ Cup win, but the very foundation of the team.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Coming off an ankle injury, all Trevor wanted to do was focus on his game so that he can help his team win the Stanley Cup. But when some of his teammates bring him in the loop about taking down one of their teammates who is out of control and very hateful, he can’t stand by and do nothing. This guy is so toxic and is only getting worse. If Trevor can help take him down and make the league stop supporting players like this then all the better. But in doing so it means working closely with his agent. One he hasn't really gotten to know much but also one he has been butting heads with a lot lately. Wade can’t ignore what his clients have brought him. If he can help, even if it means going against the company he works for, then he’ll do it. Wade is a former hockey player and now an agent and single dad. He is all about making the league better. Even if it means working with Trevor. That guy just knows how to get under his skin. The tension between them is so thick, well it’s only a matter of time until it snaps. But not in a way either expected. What starts as a one time hook up turns into more and the more they get to know one another as they work together to take down this toxic player, the more they realize they have in common. And maybe they aren’t so different after all. And maybe once they let their guard down, they’ll be the best thing for one another. Really enjoyed getting to know Trevor and Wade! Their chemistry was great as they went from sort of enemies to lovers. I loved watching them break down one another’s walls and realize that this thing between them could be so much more if they take a chance. A great way to end this series! And I’m looking forward to jumping to the sequel series!
