About this ebook

Dive into this friends to lovers, hockey romance!

Money, power, prestige…washout. 

There is no Plan B for me. I gambled it all on hockey. It’s all I ever wanted, but as the years pass without a callup to the NHL, I have to face the fact that I may have made a losing bet.

I’m the only failed Coulter, and the financial repercussions are coming.

My best friend’s timely breakup with her jerk of a boyfriend leaves her up rent creek with no roommate at just the right time, but it also forces me to confront my other weakness. 

Sasha is the only one who still believes in me, so how can I ruin our friendship by acting on my lifelong crush? But the second I have a chance, how can I not? Forget any fight I’ve ever seen on the ice--this is the most dangerous game I’ve ever played.

I can’t lose my best friend, but I will unless I can show her she’s always been my goal.

Ratings and reviews

Okay here goes. Fox really got on my nerves with his I'm not good enough attitude, it just started to get old. With that said I loved Sasha and how she tried to take care of Fox and be there for him. I loved the relationship between Fox and Sasha and their loyalty towards each other. I also liked this relationship and that it has developed over years, it wasn't love at first sight. I liked Sasha's independence but knew when she needed help she asked for it. This was a fun journey of Fox and Sasha coming to terms with their feelings for each other. Nana Malone did a good job of getting into the athlete's psyche when he doesn't feel he is good enough, I could feel it. Nana Malone did a good job of writing a developed relationship between to friends and how it grew to more. There is tears, laughs and hot steamy sex. If you are a Nana Malone fan in my opinion she did not disappoint. This is not my favorite book of the series Echo is my favorite so far, but it is a good continuation of the series. I received an ARC edition for my honest and voluntary review.

What a fox! This is one of the best in this series. The Coulter's are filthy rich but they all have some type of issue that makes them seem like normal real life people. I love best friends to lover themed romance books and the author a great job easing them into the next level of their friendship. They have a few bumps to iron out but both of them realize that at the end of day, this is the person who has always had my back, yes!!! Love, love, love this story!! An excellent addition to the series plus she's planted a seed for the next Coulter mystery just waiting to be solved/revealed.

I have to give Fox and Sasha 5 stars. Echo is still my favorite, but Fox runs a VERY close second. I really enjoyed Fox and Sasha's relationship. They genuinely liked each other, were supportive, and seemed to have fun together. I was also really glad to see that the grandfather wasn't in this book as much as the previous books. He is definitely not very likable. I didn't pity Fox in this book, but I was rooting for him to find his inner strength, his self assurance at the goal. This book evokes a number of emotions. It was sweet, sassy, fun, sexy, and steamy. There was a bit of suspense, maybe more of a "hold your breath" moment after the college party. I did enjoy the little hint at the end of the book about things to come. I voluntarily read and reviewed this Advanced Copy.
