Blurb
The past few years have been a bit chaotic for Cougars new associate coach, Lancaster Hart. After an amiable divorce he began living his life as the gay man he’d kept closeted for far too long. With the recent move to Cayuga, he’s away from his support system and properly made sweet tea. Despite a roster filled with new friends and associates, he’s spending his nights alone.
As his team gears up to make a run at the Calder Cup, Lancaster discovers that not everything in upstate New York is wine, woodlands, and chilly conservative ideals. At a summer music festival, he first lays eyes on Townsend Harris, folksy/blues singer by night and mayoral office assistant by day. Lancaster is enraptured with the man’s powerful sultry voice. Also, Town just might be the most beautiful man he has seen in all his forty-one years.
The two hit it off at an informal meet and greet after the show, where they spend the night talking and sipping wine. One evening of conversation and an incendiary goodbye kiss leads them into a scorching love affair that might be exactly what Lancaster has been searching for his whole life. Can his team pull off professionally what he’s hoping to do privately as well? Or will capturing their dream evade both the Cougars and Lancaster?
My Two Pennies' Worth
This is the final book in the series and I have to admit I've read all five (and a half, because of the Christmas short) this year. That means I've not had the time to lose the thread of the team's ongoing attempt to lift the Calder Cup or lose track of the characters.
The previous books of the series have had some pretty heavy subject matter and this final book is a nice change of pace. This book is fast paced with the hockey action but that frenetic energy is left on the ice. After some controversial and volatile relationships for the team (admittedly among much younger guys) the one between Lancaster and Townsend is sweet and gentle, more mature with much less drama.
This book also sees everything wrapped up tidily for the team that is more like a family, with a catchup for our other couples and that final run for the cup.
A great end to an enjoyable series.
