Review: Playing With Love

Playing With Love by Ava Thorpe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

All Ash has ever wanted to do was play hockey and have his dad be proud of him. At least he has his career in the NHL. And if keeping that career means not being able to acknowledge a boyfriend, so be it. Hockey is worth it, right? Four years ago, he gave up Cam for hockey, so it must be worth it.

Cam’s been traded, to the team Ash plays for. The same Ash that chose his career over him. The same Ash he’s tried for four years to forget. The same Ash that he couldn’t possibly still love, right? Or is this a second chance for them both?

This is an amazing book. The story is well written, the plot pulls you through the pages. The characters have depth and feel like real people. You feel the emotions of the characters right along with them. And there are all kinds of emotions in this story, happiness, sadness, anger.

This author did such a great job with the world surrounding hockey, pro athletes and the prevailing attitudes in locker rooms. I am looking forward to the next story by this author.
