Blurb:

Jackson

When I attended my teammate’s wedding, I wasn’t expecting to come face to face with the man who broke my heart fourteen years ago. 

He was my teammate. My first love. 

But when I got traded, he threw what we had away.

Now he’s back in my life and he wants to give things another go. 

If I agree to try again, and it all goes wrong, it’s not just my heart that’s at risk of breaking. It’ll be my kids’ hearts too. 

Hayden

I don’t have many regrets in life. Only one. 

Hurting Jackson Wilde.

Since my career ending injury, my life has been on a downward spiral. I’ve projected to the world that everything’s fine, but deep down, I’m a broken man. 

For the last six years I’ve been working on getting back pieces of the man I used to be. Not just to save me from myself, but for this moment. 

A chance to win Jackson back. 

I know it’s not going to be easy, but I’m going to give it my all.

Review:

There’s so much to like about this one – the mental health rep, the fact that love doesn’t fix everything, the found family love … so many feels. Every chapter just grabs the heart more than the last.

I felt for Hayden from the beginning. His struggle and regret is so obvious, as is his continuing feelings for Jackson. Their breakup may have been his fault but there is so much going on with him. And Jackson realizes it as well and, while he is still hesitant, is willing to listen and maybe even forgive. It’s complicated and heartbreaking, but some second chances are worth facing the past and being vulnerable for.

There’s also a great group of secondary characters. The people in Hayden’s life who have been there every step of the way as he does the work to find more stable footing. The Thunder players who are obvious in their love and support to one another. And Jackson’s oh-so-adorable children and the relationship they develop with Hayden and the other players is so very sweet. I love the little family that they’ve created.

While Oliver delivers a great read, it definitely isn’t an easy one. It’s raw, emotional, sweet, funny, steamy, and angsty. Worth all the feels!
