Silas
I’m the oldest guy on the college hockey team and I’ve heard the jokes but the truth is, I put a year of my life on hold. I've worked hard to prove that I have a future in this game, but Coach Damien Banning doesn’t believe in me. Damien doesn’t think I’m good enough, but he doesn’t know me at all. I’m ruthless. And when the icy tension ignites, it’s too late. But it’s not about hockey anymore.
Damien
I played pro hockey until an injury sidelined my career, my marriage, and brought me to small town Vermont to coach college hockey. I know every player on my team and Silas Moss isn’t cutting it. He’s a skillful d-man, but something’s holding him back. I push him, with good intentions, until summer training camp. I thought my heart was frozen, but no, it’s beating again. And Silas, ruthless player that he is, has taken it.
Heart Taker is a college hockey MM romance. Both MCs have something to prove and everything to lose.

My Review: 4/5 Stars
Silas has been through a lot. His mom passed away, his dad had a major stroke not too long after, and his little brother has his own health issues. Drowning in needing to take care of everyone, he takes a year off from college and hockey to get it all done. Now he is back and ready to prove himself. Even with the hectic schedule still in effect. But by the look in his coach’s eyes, Silas knows he will have to show Damien that he has what it takes. But even after a successful season, the look isn’t gone. Summer training camp is what Silas needs in order to continue getting where he needs to be and show Damien that he isn’t backing down. But something has shifted between them. There was always a tension but now it has a whole new level to it. And Silas is beginning to realize that Damien is looking back at him with the same expression. Could there be something between them and are they brave enough to take it? Damien knows getting involved with his player is a bad idea. Their age gap is less than ten years, but still. It won’t look good. But Silas isn’t like anyone he has ever met. And so mature for his age. The tension between them is only heightening and it is just a matter of time before it snaps. I really liked getting to know Silas and Damien. They definitely started wary of one another, but I liked how slowly they got to see something in the other despite the walls they built around themselves. You can’t help but root for them because what is between them is the real deal! Another fun story in this series!
