REVIEW: Save of the Game (Scoring Chances, Book 2) by Avon Gale

RATING:

Amazon

Blurb

After last season’s heartbreaking loss to his hockey team’s archrival, Jacksonville Sea Storm goalie Riley Hunter is ready to let go of the past and focus on a winning season. His new roommate, Ethan Kennedy, is a loud New Yorker with a passion for social justice that matches his role as the team’s enforcer. The quieter Riley is attracted to Ethan and has no idea what to do about it.

Ethan has no hesitations. As fearless as his position demands, he rushes into things without much thought for the consequences.Though they eventually warm to their passionate new bond, it doesn’t come without complications. While trying to financially help Ethan, Riley must hide his family’s wealth so as not to hurt Ethan’s immense pride. For their relationship to work, Ethan will need to learn when to keep the gloves on and let someone help him—and Riley will have to learn it’s okay to let someone past his defenses.

Review

Aww...

This is now the 2nd Avon read for me and seriously, I just realized, this is what I want to do with these boys in this series,

We were first introduced to Riley and Ethan in Breakaway, hockey players playing for the same team (pun intended:p). From roommates, it moved on to something more.

On the one hand, Riley and Ethan are quite opposite because of their upbringing. Riley is of the quiter, calmer kind. Whereas Ethan can be loud and quite expressive. Riley is one of those people born with a silver spoon without an ounce of ego to him. Whereas Ethan didn't grow up with much and only has his family as his greatest treasure. But on the other hand, they couldn't be more the same. Behind their persona are men with a lot of depth and comprehension.

Put them together, they're funny and oh so sweet! And oh so hot!*g* Being with each other is a new thing for both them, and watching them getting to know each other better and navigating their way around each other and their new relationship, it gave me lots of smiles and aww-moments. They're so considerate and supportive of each other. I love how they really got to understand each other in time. I love how the relationship progressed. There were no extreme highs or lows; things just flowed really naturally. *happy sigh*

And big bonus for me is getting a glimpse of Lane and Jared from the first book. Lane, I swear, I will love that kid always! I was laughing every time he was on. Gah!!! What can I say, Lane makes me happy! Avon, you make me happy!

Cannot wait for the third book!!!

PROLOGUE

(WARNING: Graphic words/language)

I was mad at the world, at the whiskey for not being strong enough, at the drugs for not lasting long enough, at the fucking whores I banged for not getting me off when it was my fault my d*ck was fucking useless after a bucket of f*cking blow. I went so far as to be pissed at random people on the street for laughing or smiling when I felt like I’d never be able to smile or laugh again.

How dare they?

How f*cking dare they be move on with their lives like my friend hadn’t just died.

I was on the verge of losing what little sanity I had left when I rode out of Logan's Beach and set off to find a place, or places, where I could numb myself against the feelings that followed me from town to town, cheap motel to cheap motel, girl to girl, high to f*cking high.

Then, this pink haired girl from the past came barreling into my life and it was like for the first time, I’d found a purpose. A real genuine purpose and not just some shit Chop spewed out as orders that I and every other member of the Beach Bastards took as bible, but a true reason to live again.

To WANT to live again.

Someone to live for.

Ti was my chance at some sort of real happiness when Lord f*cking knows I had no idea what that really was before her. The only glimpses of real genuine happiness I'd ever had came courtesy of Preppy, King, and of course Grace. Like when King tattooed us for the first time and we loved them, even though they were crooked and downright f*cking awful. Like when Grace made me my very first birthday cake. Like the time King Prep and I sat at the top of the water tower and thought the world was ours to take.

Because at that time, it was.

Then there was Ti and my new happiness became the first time I saw her smile. The first time I kissed her. The first time I tasted her pu$y by the fire. The first time she let me inside of her, shamelessly pushing through her virginity in a frantic need to make her mine.

Because that's what she was.

That's what she would always be.

And I will kill every motherf*cker who dares to try and take her from me.

Mine.

Review

RATING:

This! This is THE conclusion to Bear and Ti’s story that I so totally was looking for!!!

Heck, that epilogue alone?!?!? That! That alone was enough for me to give this all the stars I can give! If you’ve read it, you know exactly what I’m talking about! Oh!!! My!!! Gawd!!!

While Lawless didn’t win me over completely, because of my own hang-ups that is, those old feelings are all gone here, I’m telling you now.

The darkness and effed-up-ness that I’ve come to expect TM to take me thru, it’s all here. There were definitely some OTT-ness but keep in mind the kind of world that Bear and Ti live on. And at one point, I asked myself how much can poor Ti need to go thru, with what appears to be one misfortune after another, but again, with the things at play, the danger was real.

Thia’s got spunk, without a doubt! While she may have been too stubborn to listen at times, I get why she did the things she did. She’s not afraid to face danger if it means Bear’s safety. She knew she needed to be strong for Bear, but I love how she knew that she needed to be strong for herself, that indeed she is a survivor.

Bear is one crazy mothereffer! And I absolutely love him! I love how everything he did, be it right or wrong in other people’s eyes, was all for the woman who grounds him and ultimately completes him. He’s such a contradiction. Amoral in one hand, but loyal on the other; dark on one hand, yet full of love on the other… what a complex man! And I have to say having JMJ as cover did not hurt at all!

The story moved how it was supposed to. The intense heat between the 2 did not wane and stayed passionate. The deep friendship remains. The acerbic conversations amongst friends were just as funny. A new interesting character was introduced. Other loved characters were present.

And that ending?!?!

It was the perfect ending to Bear and Ti’s story!!! It was epic!!! It was brilliant!!! Another TM book hangover for the record!

Blurb

It started out like any other morning on the train.

Until I became mesmerized by the guy sitting across the aisle.

He was barking at someone on his phone like he ruled the world.

Who did the stuck-up suit think he was…God?

Actually, he looked like a God. That was about it.

When his stop came, he got up suddenly and left. So suddenly, he dropped his phone on the way out.

I might have picked it up.

I might have gone through all of his photos and called some of the numbers.

I might have held onto the mystery man’s phone for days—until I finally conjured up the courage to return it.

When I traipsed my ass across town to his fancy company, he refused to see me.

So, I left the phone on the empty desk outside the arrogant jerk’s office.

I might have also left behind a dirty picture on it first though.

I didn’t expect him to text back.

I didn’t expect our exchanges to be hot as hell.

I didn’t expect to fall for him—all before we even met.

The two of us couldn’t have been any more different.

Yet, you know what they say about opposites.

When we finally came face to face, we found out opposites sometimes do more than attract—we consumed each other.

Nothing could have prepared me for the ride he took me on. And I certainly wasn’t prepared for where I’d wind up when the ride was over.

All good things must come to an end, right?

Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.
