As you all know I am a fan of Sommerland's work, but she went above and beyond in this book. So far it is my favorite in the series.Previous books have given us glimpses of Scott Demyan. Yes, he's hot. Yes, he's a good sniper. Oh and is he ever a mess. Scott has never met a bottle of booze, a guy, or girl that he wouldn't at least attempt to corrupt. He comes of as carefree but he is really troubled. In Breakway, Zach Pearce made me love him when he told Scott he was the prize he wanted. Scott on the other hand thinks the only thing he is worth is a good lay. I am amazed at where Sommerland went with this story. It's hard to write a character effected by child sexual abuse. Moreover, it's nearly impossible to write a believable male victim. Scott is the closest character I've ever read to embody those actual emotions. Watching him struggle to be a friend to Becky and Zach is great. Seeing him grow from a bro into a decent guy who could actually be a role model. I loved him even more. His interactions with Casey are perfect. Finally, him adopting the baby goalie Hunt and seeing his efforts for Sahara make you realize he wants a home with the Cobras. Bless poor Stephen who's job is to at least make him look like a grown up.Zach Pearce is very level. One of the few things that get him bothered is Scott. I think we all understand that. He sees an opportunity for a relationship with Becky. He knows they both want Scott but he is determined to make sure Scott won't break either of their hearts. Zach is strong steady confidence for both Becky and Scott. Zach wants Scott to know that he is loved and worth more than his reputation.Becky Bower is the sister of the Dartmouth Goalie Landon Bower and a reporter. We have witnessed her and Scott's interactions in the locker room and it is palpable. No one will forget the lotion or her kissing Scott to piss of Landon. But she wants more but thinks she knows the score with Scott. As her relationship with Zach and Scott grows I like her even more. The fact that she gave birth to the awesomeness that is Casey makes her rank higher in my world.Oh yeah did I mention that there is hot sex in this book!!!
