to be changing my tune Another hockey romance, another BIG success for me This audiobook was fab Sometimes it takes me a little while to warm up to a book, especially an audiobook That was certainly the case with Breakaway At first I was really confused about the character of Lane Is he supposed to be autistic or on the spectrum Is he supposed to be simple minded Just socially awkward What s his

hockey player who personifies honesty, a good heart and no filters And an older, talented American hockey player with a fading career and a bruised heart Together, they are silly and warm and sexy and

feeling about this one I didn t love it or hate it for that matter you can say I liked enough Lane and Jared are hockey players and play on opposite teams during a game they have a confrontation that soon turns into a sexual attraction The biggest problem for me with this book was that it drag, too many details of everything one thought turned into another and another Then there was Lane, at first
