After suffering a horrific injury that threatens to end his career, Baden Oulett is about to learn that sometimes a fresh start is just what the doctor ordered.
I worked my whole life to achieve one goal—play professional hockey. As part of the defending Cup champion Arizona Vengeance, I was living my dream until one split second decision destroyed it all. Instead of lacing up my skates and hitting the ice, I’ve spent my days in rehab and physical therapy just so I could walk again. When a coaching opportunity with the Pittsburgh Titans is presented to me, I find myself with a career I had never considered but which allows me to continue being part of the sport that I love.
While my injuries are physical, the same can’t be said for the woman I rescued. Suffering from wounds that can’t be seen, Sophie Winters has withdrawn from the world in fear and guilt. I didn’t know Sophie before that fateful night and have only met her once since, but I refuse to let her face her demons alone. Determined to be a friend, I support Sophie in the only way I know how… by simply being there.
Through our shared trauma, Sophie and I begin to find peace within one another. As we grow closer, what started as friendship becomes more intimate until our broken pieces become one. But can a love born of anguish endure, or will the pain of our past prove too much to overcome?

3.5. This book was pretty tame even though it has so much potential. Where was the angst and agony? IVery abrupt ending, and no epilogue. Female narrator wasn’t a great fit either, her voice was too whiny. Gotta love Aiden Snow thought, he melts your heart.

I feel like the author's note in the beginning got the expectations set really high and then the book didn't quite live up to that. The book is more about the MC's issues and the healing process, the romance part comes across a bit like an afterthought. I enjoyed the read but I wasn't floored.

Such an epically slow, slow burn it almost became ludicrous. Although the friendship build up is both beautiful and heartwarming, and the mental and physical health issues they struggle with are handled gracefully and compassionately, the romance level is practically nonexistent for most of the book. Especially since S.B’s hockey romances usually contain both sizzle and spice. Both the MCs are really sweet and mature characters that work well in this type of “start up”-book with its focus on team building and new frontiers as well as the romance. Looking forward to the next one.

Makes for an interesting continuation. But this one is a bit cheesy
