Obtain Change On The Fly (Blue Line Hockey, #5) Penned By Stephani Hecht Mobi

and Nobelmaybe.
Another one of those overpriced novellas, But I'm kind of hooked on this hockey theme, This felt like one long scene where they suddenly realize they were made for each other, Tagged on to the end what I assume is the set up for multiple novellas to come,
So it's not bad writing or character development or story, just "wham, bam, thank you m'am", I love a story about friendship rekindled and friends turning lovers and a realistic story about recovery, This was all of that, I love that the author didn't shrink from giving Aldrich long lasting effects from his accident, I did enjoy this story, although, as with the first in the series, I think the characters coming together happened too abruptly.
There were also far less D/s overtones to this book which I enjoyed, I really liked this one, I liked Zimmon and the sister and i laughed a lot more reading this one, I liked both of the two MC's Full review sitelink weebly. compost/

This was a cute, quick read with lots of humor, We have Aldrich the injured athlete, Despite the injury he isnt whiney but has a inner strength that you cant help but admire, Nobel is a solid core of dependability and loyalty, The secondary characters were just as well done and added a lot of detail including humor to the story,

While I really enjoyed the character chemistry and the connection between all the characters, I just couldnt quit believe the instalove between the main characters.
I blame this on the fact that the pace could have been blended better, It chopped up between past, present and future, never quite running smoothly together, In the past we read about Aldrich and how he got his injury and then him in the hospital dealing with the injury.
With the present we see Aldrich and Nobel with their lives separately, Then with the future they meet up again and we quickly see them as a couple,

I personally think the author could have fixed this with either making one time line more indepth or making the book longer.
Despite this though it was a pleasant read that left me with a warm fuzzy feeling, Bryce and Zimon is next, right Pretty, pretty please, ½ Good, worth a reread.

Like the others in this series this is a pleasant little story with engaging characters.
It's a quick read, not much in the way of angst and ends with the leads blissfully content and me smiling, Unlike the others, I was glad to see that even with the sorta instalove there was a shared history from which it developed.
It was also nice to read about someone who wasn't actively playing hockey and having to hide in the closet to protect a career.
In addition, I enjoyed the supporting cast of Zimon and Tina who injected humor and familial concern with their vibrant personalities, Blue line hockey

A finally got called up to the majors only to suffer a career ending head injury which leads him back to his hometown to recover and reunite with his childhood friend whos always been in love with him This is the fifth book in the series and is slightly different to the others.
This book is a friendstolovers story and brings together Aldrich and Nobel, Aldrich is seriously injured and the permanent nature of his injuries means that he cannot play professional hockey again,

It is lovely to see the positive outlook that Aldrich, supported by Nobel, has on his life, The story could have focused on Aldrich's inability to play hockey but focused more on his overcoming a broken heart and learning to trust again.

Check out the full review at: sitelink weebly. compost/ I read this some time ago but it seems more relevant with all of the news lately about hockey injuries, the young man who died and it seems his brain is so damaged possibly from playing hockey that he likely would have had dementia in middle age, Sidney Crosby who has not played in nearly a year due to a severe concussion and who is not playing yet again due to symptoms and other players who are starting to question if their health is due to injuries sustained "on the job".
Not all have the tragic outcome that Aldrich had in this story, of severe medical problems following the injury, but it happens and likely if the player is not superfamous, they just disappear and no one thinks about them again, except their family and friends who put back he pieces.


In this case I really liked that Aldrich did not have any miracle cure, Nobel did not possess the magical healing cock of some romance novels, He would always have impediments as a result of his injury, he'd never be normal, he'd certainly never play hockey again, I also loved that Nobel didn't care, He liked Aldrich, he wasn't ashamed to be out and about with him in public or to acknowledge them as a couple which I think Aldrich needed to see that his life was not over, just very different.


Aldrich's sister was quite the girl with her pink house, and Nobel's flamboyant younger brother was a character who I hope we'll see again.
But for those who want a romantic story that includes a darker side of hockey, of those who've had their dreams completely ripped away forever after spending their entire lives, literally fighting for it, it broke my heart a bit, but Nobel was there to help him adapt to his new life.
So I think a very timely story these days, with a lovely happy ending as all this author's stories do,
