In the Penalty Box is the second installment in the Seattle Marauders series. Landon Quinn had been friends with hockey player Gregory Samson for a while until the night they spent together when Gregory called out another man's name while they were making love. Landon leaves town, only to return four years later and runs into Gregory again. The spark is still there, but Gregory is still in the closet and he doesn't remember why Landon seemingly hates him. Cue the entrance of another hockey player who is willing to be out with Landon and Gregory is jealous as hell, but is he willing to do something about it?Jocks in the closet. They are a real treat for this reader and Riley Shane's latest book is a dream for this sports and m/m romance fan. As a reader you cannot help but feel sympathy for Landon. He's been in love (and lust) with Gregory for so many years, and the one time he gets Gregory in bed, it turns out the guy is hung up on one of his teammates. However, don't fear as when Landon comes back into town, he's got a backbone this time and when Gregory makes another pass at him...this time the encounter will be on his terms - or so he thinks! I enjoyed all the mental angst and turmoil that both Landon and Gregory went through to be together. Gregory's coming out to the world (and himself) was not clichéd, but thoughtful.So far, both books in this series have been an immensely enjoyable read, filled with hot love scenes, interesting characterizations and enough hunky hockey players to make this reviewer very happy.
