Two Man Advantage
Furious, he takes to the ice with equal amounts of skill and scathing sarcasm, which doesn’t win him any friends—except for good-natured alternate captain Daniel Arou. He won’t take any of Vic’s crap, and he won’t take no for an answer.
But Vic’s troublemaking is pulling his career one way while Dan’s talent is pushing his in the other. However much they scorch the sheets, they might soon be separated by more than Vic’s fear of being hurt.
Game Misconduct
Life has been treating Victor Kalinski well, which is a surprise for the ginger-haired forward with the venomous tongue. His career is somewhat stable, at least for another season. His relationship with Cougars alternate captain Dan Arou is deepening, despite the fact that Daniel has yet to come out of the closet.
It’s typical Kalinski luck when a puck bunny he shared a drunken night with several months ago slaps him with a paternity suit. Despite the sizzling passion and painfully heartfelt connection between them, Dan doesn’t take the news well, and heads back to Canada alone.
If he wants to make things right and win back the man he loves, Vic has no choice but to swallow his pride—and nobody’s prouder than hotheaded, ego-driven Victor Kalinski.
Full Strength
What a difference a year makes. Twelve months ago, Victor Kalinski was one of the best and most controversial ice hockey players in the pros. This year he’s playing in the minors, has a paternity case pending, and has just been vindictively outed to the world by one of his own teammates.
But he seems to find life in the tiny town of Cayuga to his liking. A large part of that is Dan Arou, the Cougars’ alternate captain and the man who now holds Victor’s heart. Surely venomous, viper-tongued Victor hasn’t been mellowed by love!
Well, perhaps a little. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t intend to get sweet revenge on those who’ve hurt the man he loves and the friends he’s somehow made along the way.
BOOK REVIEW
I should start by saying that this is a serial trilogy where
the story follows two main characters over the three novellas, rather than a
series trilogy where each story has different character pairings.
Victor Kalinski is the lead character and I have to admit
that when we first meet him, he is very difficult to like and in a way I have
to tell myself to keep reading because even though he admits to being a douche
bag, I have no love for such characters.
But the author’s writing style makes it easy to keep turning
the pages. I began to warm to the story when Dan Arou was introduced and I
loved that he didn’t take Vic’s shit. Dan was such a great counterfoil for Vic.
The two of them together was just too damn hot. I loved them together.
I loved that in Dan, Vic began to see that there was another
way of living. Of course like in any relationship, there will be conflict
especially as they try to find their feet.
It didn’t help that the Dan and Vic had to be separated while Dan did a
stint in Vic’s old club or that when Dan returned Vic’s past actions came to
put a spanner in the works.
One of the things I noticed about this and some other serial
trilogies I’ve read is that my love factor decreases with each book. I thought
the first book was great and fell in love with Dan and Vic. The second book was
good but not as tightly written as the first. By the last book, I felt the plot
was floundering and the author was chucking the kitchen sink at it to keep it
going to the end. I’m not going to give spoilers but I have one word—Heather.
If you enjoy serial trilogies about the same characters then
you’ll probably enjoy this one. Me? I would’ve been very content with just the
first book. Everything that came afterwards kind of ruined the Vic and Dan’s
story for me.

R-Rated Excerpt (From Two Man Advantage)
I shrugged the shoulder his dark head rested on. “They suck, man.” I ran my tongue over my teeth.
“Think so, do you?” he enquired. “I hate that sound you make when you suck air through your teeth.”
“Um, yah,” I snorted, my palm resting on his shoulder. “I mean, no offense, but if not for you that bunch of losers wouldn’t have the few wins they do. And tough shit about the teeth sounds.”
Dan’s exhalation blew over my nipple. It puckered up into a tiny pink bead. I really wanted to get oral on this man. He seemed to be chatty, though. I didn’t dare comment on how girly that was. My ass was still recovering from the last slur against his manhood I’d made.
“You’re right,” he confessed, sitting up against my wishes to turn on the light. I squeezed my eyes shut and bitched about the wattage. “You think you could help us out?”
My nose wrinkled. “Dan, man, look, maybe if I were going to be here for the season, yeah, I’d be happy to pass along what tricks I’ve learned. But this trip is just for a week or two.” I had hoped he would drop it as soon as I weaseled around. He didn’t. His blue eyes stayed glued to me. “Arou, man, don’t make this harder than it is. Why don’t you just turn out the light, lie down and let me get you off again?”
I saw the desire flare up in his gaze. “I’d consider it a favor if you gave the other guys a hand. They’re buddies, you know?”
“Whose buddies? Not mine. They all fucking hate me,” I countered, pulling him back to the bed.
He flopped down with a sigh of exasperation. I rolled over him and began tasting his neck. He was just as bound up in this crazy thing we shared as I was. His neck and jaw tightened as he worked to fight the fire trail where my tongue and lips moved over him, but the nudge of his erection against my stomach showed he couldn’t control the need for me any more than I could handle my need for him.
“That’s because you’re a dick,” he ground out as I tongued his navel.
I agreed, then licked a long trail across his belly.
