The Games We Play Season 2 Book 7

Bax Knight’s star is on the rise. His rock band is finally on the radar of the music label of their dreams, and the pressure to outdo themselves with each song and performance is strong. The drummer needs a distraction and finds it in a flirtation with two hockey players that quickly leads to more.

Soren Lindstrom is on a mission. His dream is to play for hockey’s top league, and he works hard hoping to achieve it. The quirky goalie can’t deny the pull toward the easygoing drummer and the shy hockey forward he’s crushed on for years. Starting something with them fulfills him in ways he never expected, but threatens to scatter his focus from his game.

Tyler Moore is on his last chance. A hockey career riddled with injuries kept him on the bench more often than being on the ice and from connecting with teammates and fulfilling his dreams. Being traded to the Saint Paul Slash reunites him with Soren, introduces him to Bax, and gives him a taste of finally belonging.

As outside pressures mount and unexpected slap shots careen their way, the trio discover that falling in love changes everything, including what matters most, what they want, and what they’ll do when their hearts are in play.

My Review: 4/5

Two hockey players and a rockstar. Who would have thought that the three of them would fit together so well? Soren and Tyler have known one another for years now, and while Soren has definitely had a long crush on Tyler, he hasn’t done anything yet. But the thing is, he also has had some feelings for Bax, the drummer of an upcoming band. Never has he had feelings as strong as this for not just one person but two. And he can’t help but wonder if it would be possible for the three of them to be something. And hope is  ignited when after a game that Tyler and Soren played against one another, they meet up at a bar and meet Bax. The chemistry between them is definitely there. And though they only have one night to chat with one another, it leaves an impression. And to their surprise, Tyler is soon traded to Soren’s team. Now they are all in the same place. Can they actually make a go at a relationship with one another? This was definitely a low angst story. Soren is finding his groove on the ice while wrapping his head around the fact that he is falling for these two guys. Tyler is worried that he will get yet another injury this season and just wants to find a place he belongs. And Bax is hoping his band gets their big break but is also dealing with some drama from his best friend who seems to be keeping everyone at a distance. Overall, just a fun light story with these three!
