I am Evan Masen, a hockey player for the NHL. I spend my nights roughing up two hundred pound defensemen and spend more time in the penalty box than I do on the ice.That’s my job.One night changes everything I thought I once knew about my life on the ice.A girl.A brutally beaten girl left to die in an alley.I don’t know why or how but something made me stay that night after taking her to the … taking her to the hospital. I didn’t know her, nor did I have an obligation to stay but something inside of me rooted me there telling me I should.
And I wouldn’t have been me if I just simply left her there.
Any man who could put his heart and soul into a game of hockey couldn’t just walk away when someone needed them. She had no one else.
The same guy who saw determination where there was desire, now saw hope where there was once despair.
I couldn’t just leave as that wasn’t a man that put all he had into something some called just a game. I couldn’t walk away from someone holding onto life, weak and powerless to something she had no control over.
So I stayed. In a room full of family members praying for their loved ones to come through, I prayed for a girl I didn’t know, never met before, to have a beating heart. While others sorrows turned to grieving pain, I sat waiting on the words of the unknown.

Once again Shey you never disappoint me and I couldn’t put this book down. This story took some turns I wasn’t expecting. Evan “Mase” Masen and Ami, wow what a combination, so loved them!!! I went back and forth between crying my eyes out and fits of anger over what they went through. Then throw Remy and Leo…Oh Leo, and I was laughing my head off! I don’t know whether I want to high five Leo or throat punch him LOL! Such great people in this book. Evan stole my heart and I can’t wait for more Leo!!! The added material made this story just that much better! You know I’m never gonna complain if you want to give me more Evan 😉
This is so much more than 5 stars!!!!
I have always loved Shey’s books and this one is no different. This was a darker topic and I like how she threw in funny screens to listen the book a little bit. Mase, Leo and Remy were hilarious together and I can’t wait for Remy’s story. I would caution that some topics may be hard to read for some people. I hate giving away spoilers so you’ll just have to read and see for yourself.
Shey Stahl does it again! Evan Masen is my hero! This book has so much. Healing, trust, love, testosterone filled hockey players, friendship and more. Evan and Ali had my heart all over the place. Leo made me laugh out loud numerous times. Hope there are more books in this series.
