A fantastic m/m romance debut from erotic romance author, Cassandra Carr. I couldn't believe this was her first time writing about two men falling in love, "See the Light" was that well written.Jason and Patrick struggled against their mutual attraction until finally, they could stay away from each other no more and had a mind-blowing oral sex encounter in Jason's room.The kiss that led to that...amazing! Their passion practically leaps off the page. :D But it's a long road to being a couple, and a closeted gay couple at that, because both men work in the National Hockey League (NHL). Although there is an educational campaign in place, neither Jason nor Patrick are willing to risk their careers just yet.Keeping their secret is doubly hard when the USA Hockey Team heads to Geneva for the Winter Olympics. Jason and Patrick are around each other a lot but they dare not be seen 'together' in public. The lengths these two go to, in freezing weather, just to be together...makes you realise how hard it is for people dealing with prejudice to just be themselves around others without fear/worry/repercussions.Humour abounds between these two, even when dealing with being 'in the closet', which is a big part of the reason why I enjoyed "See the Light" so much. In fact,  read it in one night, so hooked was I on their story. :)This being an erotic romance, there was or course lots of sex...and it was hawt! It never felt gratuitous. Rather, being together physically, in the privacy of hotel rooms for the most part, was hot Jason and Patrick were able to express themselves and release pent up sexual frustration from only seeing each other sporadically due to their hockey schedules.A tragic incident forces this hockey player and the team advisor to face their feelings and damn the consequences in the process.There was a bit of scandal but the author chose to focus on Jason, Patrick and their teammates' reactions to the 'coming out' and relationship status. While I appreciated that, I would have loved an epilogue of this coupe's lives post-immediate HEA to see how the wider NHL and Jason's family reacted to the truth.I'm hoping Ms Carr choses to write either a sequel or include the "kid" and the "old man" in a future book.
