Hidden Power Play

Just when you think the next book can’t be better the the last, it is. Always had a thing for enemies to lovers and beyond. Great story, great characters and now on to the next one. Well done again!

For two guys who were meant to be teammates, roommates and best friends for two years, I actually find it terrible that Packy would sleep with Nico’s girlfriend even if he believed they broke up. He was young, dumb and knew it was a massive mistake but unfortunately you can’t just undo things no matter how much you might regret them. This one decision, followed by a locker room brawl dictates their behaviour towards each other for the next 7 years. They swing on each other at every opportunity and their hatred is legendary across the league. But is it really hate or a deep love that two young men just don’t have the words to properly comprehend what they feel wrapped up in the pain and betrayal of that night? I can understand the absolutely terrible and practically insignificant communication skills as immature 20 year old college students but at almost 30 they are practically no better and I found them both (more so Packy) incredibly frustrating at times. I loved that this storyline turns out to run somewhat concurrently with ‘Shift Change’. The forced proximity aspect of them having to work together to save the sport was hilariously done, and the various hashtags used throughout the story had me laughing. The rom-com vibes were super strong with this one. I absolutely loved getting to know the Buffalo Warriors after the Bethesda Barracudas and it is bittersweet that we will be moving on to New York next! Taylor and Harwood always write such heartfelt, swoony books with…

They did it again..I couldn't put this book down..these two characters were meant to be together..love, passion, insecurities, angst, passion that goes back to college days mix with what was thought to be hate..They told this story good..I can't wait for the next hockey series..thats also what I love that Ryan and Joshua did..they crossed over their series, not just within the series, but from series to series..I love when authors do that..keeping the characters alive a little while longer..read the whole series you'll love it too..and don't forget if you want a deeper dive start with Mohegan Series and go from there..

"Hidden Power Play" by Ryan Taylor and Joshua Harwood completely stole my heart! I absolutely fell in love with Nico and Packy—they’re funny, sarcastic, and just the right amount of trouble. Their chemistry is off the charts, and the best friends-to-enemies-to-lovers storyline had me hooked from start to finish. The Buffalo Warriors have been a fun group to get to know, and this book gave such a bittersweet feeling for me—the end of a series, but what a way to end it! The found-family vibe with this fun bunch of characters made me laugh, swoon, and yes, even yell at the book a little (okay, a lot). I can't wait to read Kai's story! Ryan and Josh...well done! If you love M/M romance with heart, humor, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a cast that feels like family, this is a must-read!

I absolutely loved this book! Ryan Taylor and Joshua Harwood are truly masters of hockey romance. Their writing is sharp, emotional, and so easy to fall into. Nico and Packy are incredible characters with so much depth, heart, and chemistry that you feel every moment between them. The story has the perfect mix of heart, heat, and laugh-out-loud humor. There are so many hilarious moments, especially thanks to their meddling teammates who cannot mind their own business and I loved every second of it. The banter, the chirping, the chaos… it all adds so much charm. This book gave me everything I wanted. Fantastic writing, amazing characters, real emotion, and so much fun. Ryan and Josh knocked it out of the park again!
