The Shots You Take - Rachel Reid
Title: The Shots You take Author: Rachel Reid Series: N/A Number of Pages: 332 Genre: Gay Fiction Publisher: Carina Adores Date of Publication: March 4, 2025 ISBN: B0CW1H3HT7
Kind Unlimited recommended The Shots You Take by Rachel Reid after my previous reads. I did not know this is the same author that wrote Heated Rivalry. Please note I have not read that series and have never really been interested in Hockey. I gave this one a shot because I was bored at work and it was random.
This book is about two old hockey players who reconnect about twenty years after they played hockey together. They had feelings for each other back in their 20s but never really developed anything past a sexual relationship. Now they’re in their 40s and trying again.
I honestly can say I didn’t care about this plot. Neither characters were likeable. The storyline was a bit repetitive. It’s like they couldn’t move on from their past mistakes but suddenly, they were okay with it by the end. There wasn’t much build on their actual relationship. It was like…sex, talk about their past mistakes, sex, apologize for their past mistakes… Nothing really happened to build their current lives.
I wouldn’t recommend it compared to other gay stories. I do have the Heated Rivalry series in my TBR. Maybe it’ll be better.
