During Wes's rookie NHL season in Toronto, he and Jamie have a lot to learn about being a couple, especially as they try to stay under the radar and keep Wes in the closet for the time being. His desire to keep his rookie season focused on his on ice talent and not on his relationship status will put some serious strain on the new relationship, especially when his loudmouth teammate moves into the same building. Hiding leads to conflict between them, as their cocoon that was their apartment becomes yet one more location they must pretend to be something they are not. 
 I was both excited and nervous about a new book for Wes and Jamie. I loved where they ended after Him, and when I'm feeling settled with a couple, sometimes it's hard to watch them face new drama and threats to their relationship. 
 My heart broke as the guys struggled to find balance in their lives. Between Wes hiding, and Jamie being so far from his family, they each faced things they had never contended with before. 
 But I also loved watching them try to keep their connection strong through alternating away games, and the shear amount of time spent in different locations. Trying to control Wes's public image without letting his sexuality cloud his first season was also an aspect of the relationship that I loved, though it also added some challenges that hurt to watch them face. 
 I loved the new characters, both Wes's team and Jamie's boss. Blake's friendship was both frustrating and wonderful in the ways he challenged Wes and Jamie. his close proximity adds conflict, but it also forces the guys to decide what is important. Ok, it just adds conflict, but in a way that had me wanting to make them see what was really going on, because I caught on long before they did... 
 This was exactly what I hoped Wes and Jamie's follow-up would be, with a whole new set of challenges to their relationship. They had a lot of learning to do in this first year together and though they thought they knew what they were facing, they were thrown by just how hard it would be to find the balance and acceptance that seemed to come so easily in college.
