too much hockey for me!
I was gifted my copy of this book.

This is book 4 in the Colorado Dragons series and it helps to have read the other books first. Not strictly necessary, just a personal recommendation, is all. I loved all three other main books, and the short intro.

This one, not so much.

I didn't dislike it, but I think, for ME (stress heavy on the ME!) was that because both Ash and Max are hockey players, this book is heavy on the hockey. Very heavy on the hockey. And at points, I skimmed past some of it. The level of detail is great, it's just me.

Both Max and Ash have trauma from a young age. While Max' is front and centre from the beginning, it takes time for Ash to reveal what's going on with him and his dad. I thought the video was something else entirely, and I cried when Ash reveals what was going on and why. I mean, bawled my eyes out at what that young man had been through, and how he was dealing with it all alone.

I'm loving that these dragons are all different. Max is a lifebound dragon. Now, I wasn't quite sure what that meant at the beginning, but things become clearer (sort of) as time goes on. When Ignatius gets involved, as he tends to do with his dragons and their partners, Max' knowledge of being lifebound takes a hit n the right direction.

There is steam and passion, but the smexy times are kept to a minimum here, and are mostly faded out to grey. I liked that, a lot. This book isn't about the smex, it's more about dealing with childhood trauma, and coming out the otherside, with the one you love along side you.

While that hockey overtook things a bit, (again, that's a ME thing!) I still gave this book .....

4 very good stars
