Holy hotness, this was book fantastic. I loved it so much I grabbed the audio after I finished reading. Kirt Graves did a great job with Tristan and Sebastian’s story. He pulled me into the story well, and I always felt connected with the story. There were so many of my favorite tropes in this book! . I barely took a break from listening as it hit so many reading high points for me. Hockey, closeted athletes, student/professor dynamic, an older MC, and a controlling top. Tristan and Sebastian’s story has everything you look for in a book: off the charts chemistry, super hot sexy times, the inevitable angst that comes with a closeted character and all the feels you need in a book to get you hooked into their story. You could really feel the emotions of Tristan’s struggle on coming out to his family, and what level of openness in the NHL he was comfortable sharing. Sebastian battled his own concerns with refusing to go back into the closet, no matter what he felt for Tristan. Sebastian also had to reconcile dating a former student in his own mind. Overall this was a fantastic book, and I couldn’t recommend this listen (or read) more. In fact, this whole series to date is fantastic! If you loved Tristan’s story, make sure you check out the next two that are already out in ebook and audio!
