Review

I love a second-chance romance! There is nothing more satisfying than two people getting a chance at their happiness and to right their mistakes.

Two young men, who didn’t have the tools to make a relationship happen, as they enter professional hockey careers, and dreams and futures are shifting.

Years later, they’re together again. As Bennett is trying to save his career, making a documentary of Sandro’s hockey team, just as Sandro is contemplating the nearing possibility of retirement.

It’s tense, and awkward, and sweet, and fun, and ultimately pretty special. And in the end, they find themselves facing their changing futures and dreams together.

Synopsis

When you’re facing The End, it’s time to rewind to the beginning.

At thirty-eight years old, Sandro Zanetti is quickly aging out of hockey. But the Trailblazers are chasing a history-making third consecutive championship this season, so until his knees fail him, he plans on giving his all to the sport.

What he doesn’t need is the documentary film crew following the team’s every move. Because the director? Is Bennett Jackson.

Former college sweetheart.
Breaker of hearts.
Still unbearably handsome.

But their relationship is also history and has been for fifteen years.

Bennett Jackson is one project away from the credits rolling on his career after his last film flopped. This behind-the-scenes look at the hottest team in the league is his last chance at redemption…and possibly his last chance at redeeming himself with the one man who’s always held his heart.

Neither of them planned for old jokes to resurface or on the inconvenient fact that their chemistry is very much alive.

But as the action heats up on and off the ice—and on and off camera—their reunion looks less like a rerun of heartbreak and more like a revival of that first chemistry.

And Sandro and Bennett may discover that some stories deserve a sequel.
