Publisher's summary
Six years ago, an ultimatum forced Dan Greyson to make a choice that cost him everything he loved most. One of those things? His boyfriend, hockey player Ashton Yager.
Now that they’ve crossed paths again, Dan isn’t about to let the opportunity slip away. Ash’s reappearance in his life is just the catalyst Dan needs to escape the rut he’s fallen into and win back Ash’s trust and love.
Ashton Yager, once burned and now a little bit shy, didn’t mean to publicly come out as bisexual. But now that he has, he’s got to deal with the consequences, including the fact that it might’ve cost him his NHL contract.
With his job on the line, he needs to keep his head down, work hard, and play the best hockey of his life. Rekindling things with Dan? That’s not exactly keeping a low profile. It’s also never going to happen, not after Dan walked away once without an explanation.
When a hurricane forces Ash to seek shelter out-of-state, he and Dan find themselves in the same B&B, where old feelings resurface. But with everything Ash has on the line, does he dare play with fire again?

Casey Preston is the guy with the plan. The list-maker. The one who micromanages his own life. Spontaneously offering to be his best friend’s fake boyfriend to get Ethan’s annoying team captain off his back? That’s not thinking things through. It’s not even smart, given Casey’s been fighting his feelings for Ethan for years. Ethan Rain just wants to play hockey and get his college degree. Adding a fake boyfriend to the mix? He doesn’t need that complication. If Casey were his real boyfriend, though? If he got to keep Casey forever? Now we’re talking.

Story
Charles Preston Carmichael is the most infuriating man I've ever met. I want to sock the golden boy of college hockey right in the mouth. He enjoys telling me everything I'm messing up—publicly. And since he's my roommate for the next year, I can't avoid him. Yet there's something about him that makes me watch him. Something dark. A secret I want to uncover. When he returns from a weekend away, broken and haunted, I can't keep my distance anymore. He needs someone, and I'll be damned if it's not me.

Story
When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Story
My path to success never included an enemy as a teammate, especially one as infuriating as Quinton de Haas. Clawing under my skin is his favorite pastime, only feeding the animosity between us as the years pass. We’re as completely opposite as two people can be; the golden boy and the black sheep. Constantly at odds or at each other’s throats. The only thing we can agree on is hockey is our true love, and we’ll do whatever it takes to come out on top. I never imagined that drive would lead me to do the unthinkable: falling into bed with my not-so-straight rival.

I’ve had a crush on my brother’s best friend since the moment I laid eyes on him four years ago. Warner Ramsey is 225 pounds of pure hotness, a media darling, and one of the best NFL quarterbacks in the league. Hell, he’s the reason I figured out I’m solidly bi. It was easy to keep my crush under control when I was in college. Now, we play for the same team, and every time he talks smack, I want to shut him up. With my mouth.

Ever since we met two years ago, Eden Burkehammer has made everything better. The big defenseman sets me at ease. He’s a beast on the ice—brutal and physical—but when it’s the two of us, he turns to me with these unexpectedly soft brown eyes. This gravelly laugh that makes my whole body smile. And yeah, I might have thrown a glance his way a time or two in the steamed-up locker room showers—you know, just curious. But he’s my best friend. My teammate. Roommate. I don’t want to mess with that. Just the thought of losing him sends a cold zap the full length of my spine.

Story
For Landon Stackhouse, being called up from the Calgary farm team is exciting and terrifying, even if, as the backup goalie, he rarely leaves the bench. A quiet loner by nature, Landon knows he gives off strong “don’t talk to me” vibes. The only player who doesn’t seem to notice is Calgary’s superstar young winger, Casey Hicks. Casey treats Landon like an old friend, even though they’ve only interacted briefly in the past. He’s endlessly charming and completely laid-back in a way that Landon absolutely can’t relate to.

"Look out for Zach, and don't hit on him." My brother's request sounds easy enough. Keep an eye out for his best friend on campus and keep my hands to myself. Easy. Even if Zach is a quintessential nerd, who I've always thought was cute, I don't have the time to think with my...stick. There's only one stick I should be focused on this year, and that's my hockey stick. My goal once I graduate is to get an NHL contract. The last thing I need is a distraction. On or off the ice. Only, keeping to the rules is harder than I thought it would be.

Payne. In search of: Room to rent. Must ignore the patheticness of a 40-year-old roommate. Preferably dirt cheap as funds are tight (nonexistent). There’s nothing sadder than moving back to my hometown newly divorced, homeless, and lost for what my next move is. When my little brother’s best friend offers me a place to stay in exchange for menial duties, I swallow my pride and jump at the offer. I need this. I also need Beau to wear a shirt. And ditch the gray sweatpants. And not leave his door ajar when he’s in compromising positions...

Kyran Harbor is everything I'm not. Rich. Popular. A superstar football player who's awfully broody for someone who has it all. Basically, he's a preppy jock who hates me. Oh, and he's also my stepbrother. That's right. We're stuck together, sharing a school, a house, a bathroom. Honestly I wouldn't care if he wasn't such an uptight control freak who messes with me just because we're different. I had every intention of avoiding him when we got to college. Until abrupt misfortune forces us both into a compromising position.

Enemies turn to lovers in this bad boy billionaire romance with a twist. I had a plan. Finish law school. Start a job. Stay away from men like Brandon Sterling. Cocky, overbearing, and richer than the Earth, he thinks the world belongs to him, and that includes me. Yeah, no. Think again. It doesn't matter that his blue eyes look straight into my soul, or that his touch melts my icy reserve. It doesn't even matter that past all that swagger, there's a beautiful, damaged man who has so much to offer beyond private planes and jewelry boxes. But I had a plan: no falling in love.

A long time ago, in a small town I've tried to forget...I married the charismatic all-American king of high school. He was sexy and charming. I was shy and infatuated. We were both 18. Of course we did not live happily ever after. We did the opposite. You thought that was the end? So did I. Seven years later and without warning, Branson Hickey is back in my life. Many things have changed and a few things haven't. I still want him. I still can't stand him. I still think about him all the time, even after everything we did to each other.

A very entertaining read
I really enjoyed this one, I had a really good time reading it and the audiobook was absolutely lovely too, it was just so great and I enjoyed every seconds I spent listening to this one.
Second chance romances are one of my favourite trope in books and I just loved how this one was done, it was everything I love and want out of the trope.
*I received an ARC of this book, and this is my honest opinion.*

Freedom from the past for the future
Ash and Dan meet and fall in love, but Dan’s mother blackmails him to stay in the family business. He severs his relationships to protect his brother and Ash, but neither of them know why.
Now, 6 years later, Dan’s brother, Mitch, has a boyfriend who’s on the same hockey team as Ash, and he and Ash both feel the draw between them.
Ash has a hard time trusting Dan, but sees how he’s changed, is alone and sad, with all the changes leading back to their parting.
Dan finally comes full circle, telling Ash all that happened, realizing his own mistakes, and showing Ash he won’t repeat them. Even his Mom’s newest threat doesn’t work.
Well written story, with chapters from 6 years previous and the present. Each character has grown, and now Dan is ready to do what he wants, no longer influenced by his Mom’s threats. Ash is a sweetheart, working with a youth centre and facing coming out to become a role model.
I received this free ARC, and am glad to provide my honest review in appreciation.

A winning MM hockey romance
I read the book and was thrilled to see it out on audio. I enjoy the second-chance romance trope and this one doesn’t disappoint. The angst-level is higher than in some of the author's other books, but it is appropriate for the characters and what they’re going through. And the sex flashback is one of the funniest I’ve read, while fitting these two characters perfectly. The narrator starts out a little flat, but it’s worth hanging in there, because it doesn’t take him long to hit his stride. I love the series, and enjoy seeing the characters again in future books. I recommend both the book and the series.

Hard-fought HEA
The Nature of the Game is a romance featuring a love-burned hockey star, an artist trying to escape family exploitation, a perfectly timed hurricane, and a second chance to make things right. Ash never knew why Dan left him at the airport when their relationship was ready to take off, and Dan never had the courage to get out from under his mother's malicious manipulations. Unexpected circumstances force them together again, and each has the chance to reminisce, showing the reader a side-by-side progression of their first relationship with the one currently in motion. The character development is rich and rewarding, and the HEA is hard-fought and well-deserved. Lots of colorful side characters (including cameos from other book couples) make for an entertaining read. The audio, narrated by Adam Lawrence, is spectacular. He does a great job not only with differentiating characters' voices but with pacing and emotion as well. It is a listen to be savored!

Second chance romance with a sweet ending!
I absolutely love a good second chance romance story and The Nature of the Game is one of my favorite! I love Dan and Ash's chemistry, even after spending so many years apart. There is just something so sweet about seeing two people who are meant to be together find their way back to each other! It was great getting to see some of our favorite characters from the first book and see just how well they are still doing in the future, plus there are so many characters introduced now that I can't wait to see how else will get their own book in the future! The narration was excellent and I will happily listen to this narrator again in the future! Wonderful characters who just pull at your heart and great storylines that are engaging and sweet!

A loving second chance romance
A sweet story rife with miscommunication and an interfering mother who needs a good *witch* slap! There were several times I wanted to yell at both MCs in both present and the flashbacks to just freaking communicate already but I could also understand why it would have been so hard for both men. I loved the story and it was great to see Dan and Ash in such a great place by the end of the story. This was a new to me narrator and I enjoyed what he brought to the story.

Good story - LOUSY narrator
Narrator sounds like one of my uber-uncomfortable middle school students, putting on a show for his friends by imitating a couple adults. Extremely stilted & Ash’s voice sounds more like Barney the dinosaur than a sexy NHL player.
