A sweet and sexy hockey romance about two ex-teammates and former best friends with benefits who are about to discover whether you can ever really have a second chance. From the USA TODAY bestselling author of the Game Changers series and Time to Shine.

After moving back to his hometown ten years ago, Riley Tuck thought he had left his major league hockey career—and his broken heart—far behind. But when an unexpected tragedy strikes, it brings ex-teammate and former best friend with benefits Adam Sheppard back into his life.

Coming to the small town of Avery River, Nova Scotia, might have been a mistake. Adam’s not sure he’ll ever win back Riley’s trust after the way they left things—and the attention he’s getting as a huge hockey star isn’t exactly helping. Yet the chemistry that crackles between them is undeniable, even now.

As Adam helps Riley navigate his grief, long-buried feelings start to resurface. But they’ll have to square off with their complicated past if they’re going to have a real shot at a new beginning.

I liked the depth of character development. The story might have been a little too tidy at the end BUT this genre is not really big on unhappy or open endings.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. for a hockey romance, both MC's ate not currently playing. well written with good character development. It's sad, it's funny, it's just a beautiful story. narration is what really brings the book to life. Greg Boudreaux does a great job giving each character apersonality of their own.

Beautiful story

I literally listened to this on Spotify but you only get 10 hours. So I HAD to have this on audible so I could listen whenever I wanted. This may be the best hockey book I have listened to and I have listened to a bunch. The back story the reunion story. Loved it loved it loved. Don’t want to give anything away. Just read it!!

The story is so good!

A beautiful story of second chances, coping with loss, living one’s truth, resilience, friendship, and passionate romance. I loved the development of Adam’s and Riley’s (the MCs) reconnected relationship and how they grew as individuals during their time apart and after they reunited. As a listener, I empathized so much with Adam and Riley. In other reviews, some have villainized Adam for his past behavior, but as someone in their 40s who has done things in their 20s that they now regret, I could really relate to him. Adam’s past behavior toward Riley was not out of malice, but rather the result of fear, confusion, and being part of a toxic culture obsessed with masculinity and “toughing it out” despite physical and psychological pain.
I thought Greg Boudreaux’s performance was excellent! He did an amazing job expressing the complex emotions of Adam and Riley through their voices. I’m not familiar with Nova Scotia accents, but I learned that some of them can sound a bit Irish, and you can hear this in Riley’s voice.
The Shots You Take is definitely worth the credit!
