Will their relationship be strong enough when Dallas is traded and has to move?

The Review

A short and sweet hockey romance that gives Morgan the chance at a date with his dream guy and hockey player, Dallas.

Dallas has made the decision not to come out but, of course, that means that he’s never had the chance to date a guy. Morgan is his chance as he trusts that he won’t say anything and he loves being with him. They do make a good couple and clearly have a good chemistry. It’s very much a slow burn romance for the couple.

Dallas has to decide what it is that he wants more and it brings a bit of tension and drama to the story with him having to move away when he is traded to a different hockey team.

Overall, I enjoyed the story. It has some good secondary characters that help to boost the story. It’s one that I feel could make for a more entertaining romance and coming out if it was longer, but it still has a strong story throughout.

The Reviewer

Hello all, my name is Xanthe and I am excited to be a reviewer for the PRG.

I read a lot, every night for at least 4-5 hours and I love to get lost in the world that an author has created. The best ones leave you wanting more and at a loss for words to describe just how good it is but I’ll try my best.

I live in a small town in South West England, just me and my dog Bonnie. I work part time in administration and really enjoy my job and the people I work with which I am very aware is not always the case!

I’ll read pretty much any sub genre within the mm genre. Since discovering it a few years ago, I rarely read anything else. One thing I won’t touch is horror, a definite no no for me!

Never ask me what my favourite anything is as I’ll have to give you a list of about ten or twenty things. How am I able to pick one food, book or film out of so many that I love?

Summary: A bitter lady with a dark past. A grieving widow striving to help those in need. Two women will discover it’s not too late for a second chance at romance… Lady Isolda Upshur has never known love. Married to the sovereign of the Realm at the young age of twenty, she is cast aside by her husband after giving birth to a suitable heir. Two decades later, the sovereign dies and she believes herself free, only to learn that her son has arranged for her to remarry. After this lord meets an untimely death, Isolda flees to the south of the Realm seeking solitude. Lady Eustace Durham was happily married to the love of her life until the dreaded red fever swept through the Realm. In the wake of her husband’s death, Eustace volunteers to help others ailing from the deadly disease, but soon realizes that many women in the Realm lack basic healthcare. Using the coin her husband left her in his will, Eustace opens a clandestine clinic in her cellar to provide services forbidden by the edicts. All is well until Isolda moves into the townhouse next door. Fearful that Isolda will betray her to the local authorities, Eustace concocts a plan. A suspicious Isolda accepts Eustace’s invitation to discern what her neighbor could want. Each intends to outwit the other, but both are surprised when sparks fly instead. The two determine they can help each other and those in need, but when a nefarious lord threatens all they hold dear, Eustace and Isolda have to put their romantic feelings aside to fight for the greater good. This steamy romance with a guaranteed happily-ever-after is part of The Serrulata Saga but can be read as a standalone.
