The loudmouth casanova of the `Dartmouth Cobra' hockey team, Luke Carter isn't afraid to stir up trouble both on and off the ice.  Catching his girlfriend playing tonsil hockey with his roomie is his wake-up call to realize he's not cut out for a vanilla relationship. Returning to the BDSM club scene, he jumps back into his Dom role to explore life with a willing sub or two.Jami Richter, daughter of the Dartmouth Cobra's GM, reached rock bottom last year but has cleaned herself up and is working her way back. She hopes making it as an ice girl for the team will make her dad proud and be one step closer to changing her luck for the better.Sebastian Ramos, defensive man for the Cobra's, is in complete control whether it's on the ice or in the bedroom. A new city/new team is just what he needs to start fresh and hide the secrets that have gotten him into trouble in the past.It's playoff time for the Darkmouth Cobra's and Sebastian, Jami, & Carter are about to find out things about each other that will either heal them or break them.First off, I do have to point out that this isn't just an erotic romance book. It's gives glimpses behind the sport of hockey itself. I learned things like why the players feel the need to fight in the middle of the game that I never knew. How the psychological portions of a game are just as important as the physical and that teammates will always have your back no matter what. And ice girls aren't simply fluff - they work hard to make it look easy but they are just as committed to excellence as the players themselves and work long hard hours too. But management is the same in all sports - players, for the most part, are a commodity that can be used, exploited, intimidated, and traded when it suits them with the exception of a select few. But. They do have a responsibility to the fan base who are the ultimate deciders of who/what/where hockey teams will flourish or wither away which they can never forget.This is the third of the "Dartmouth Cobra" series which features Jami, Sebastian, & Carter. It's not possible to touch on all the twists and turns that are included in this book without giving away story line spoilers but just know that this book is the best of the series to date in my opinion. The author brings out the psychological and emotional toll that each character has been going through, including returning characters from the previous books in the series, to help the reader understand why they are the way they are and how finding that special person/relationship can save even those who think they're unsaveable.As to the erotic portions of this book. This mmf themed book is toe curling hot with well written BDSM scenes that won't disappoint those of you who like their adult content action with intense scenes that include edgy S/M elements, impact play, & dirty talking,. I really loved that the author didn't shy away from giving the boys as much quality alone time as the bi and menage scenes got. And if that's not enough, there were additional scenes with other characters in the book, including one memorable orgy scene, that had me squirming in my chair. Card games, toy shopping, skype, hotel room, BDSM club, home - all will have you smiling ear to ear after reading this book.I can see someone trying to read this as a standalone and appreciating it for the most part but to get the full understanding of the different dynamics and such I would highly recommend reading all three of the books in this series.  I guarantee you'll never look at hockey players the same ever again.
