What was your overall opinion of the book?
It was a really easy read, I loved the banter, the smut, but also how soft they got with each other over the course of the story.
-
What was your favourite moment/scene in the book?
Dinner with Shane’s parents after they found out! So funny but also so important for Shane and Ilya both.
-
Which character did you like best/most identify with?
Liked most? ILYA ROZANOV.
-
Did any themes or messages in the book change your perspective on anything?
I actually love ice hockey as a sport - it’s become my favourite since I’ve read romance and I have never thought about how few out gay players (I actually think there’s only 1?) there are until I read this series, which must be really horrible for them.
-
How did the author’s writing style impact your reading experience?
All of the Game Changer series are super easy reads, I can get through them in a days, and they’re thoroughly enjoyable!
-
Was this book relatable to you in any way?
Noooope. Not a gay man, not a hockey player (or even remotely athletic).
-
What is the one thing about this book you will remember, even a year from now?
Everything? I read this in December and it’s been living in my head rent free every day since.
-
How likely would you be to recommend the book to someone else? (use a sliding scale of 1-5 if easier)
10 lol. Although when my dad asked if he and my mum should watch it I said a big fat gay no. They’re not ready for that yet!
