I love this book!

First Season is the second book in the Harrisburg Railers series co-authored by RJ Scott and V.L. Locey. You don't need to have read book one to enjoy this one but you should because it's so good.

Layton Foxx is hired by the Railers hockey team to help manage any fallout from two members of the team (a player and a coach, Ten and Jared from book one) coming out as a couple. He's confident in his ability to do his job by using social media and working with the other players on how I love this book!

Layton Foxx is hired by the Railers hockey team to help manage any fallout from two members of the team (a player and a coach, Ten and Jared from book one) coming out as a couple. He's confident in his ability to do his job by using social media and working with the other players on how to handle this situation. He's not prepared to be so attracted to a player on the team. A player who at first seems to be a bit of a jerk with no filter for what comes out of his mouth.

Adler Lockhart can't help his attraction to the spin-doctor the team has hired. He knows that he doesn't filter what comes out of his mouth the way he should. He resents that Layton assumes he's homophobic and demanded that he attend sensitivity training, so he soon lets him know that he's gay, too.

Wow, this book kept me glued to my e-reader from the moment I started it until I finished. Layton has a lot of baggage and big, tough jocks are something he usually avoids. As he and Adler grow closer he knows that his secret must come out.

I loved everything about this story. Adler buys Layton gifts and this makes Layton uncomfortable; but Adler doesn't know any other way to show he cares. His parents were absent from his life while he was growing up; they even want him to call them by their first names. Adler knows he has to go slow to convince Layton that he's serious about him and so he doesn't scare him off.

The chemistry between these two is really good. The writing of these two co-authors is even better/smoother in this book than it was in book one. My emotions were all over the place reading this one. There were moments that brought tears but there were also light-hearted times that helped balance things out. And, of course, there is an HEA. I am so looking forward to reading more books in this series!

That feeling when from the first chapter you know you're going to love the next book in a series as much as you did the first book, maybe even more.
As much as I have no interest in sport in real life I'm liking them in my reading more and more. I especially enjoy those sports we don't really have at home like baseball and ice hockey. I think its because they seem that much more exotic and also tap into my love of US culture.
What I also like about sports books is the fact that there is a whole ho ...more

First, if you haven't read Book #1, do yourself a favor and grab it and get started! Then read this amazing book. If you miss Book #1, you'll miss out on a LOT of back story (Ten and Jared are wonderful!). In this installment in the series, we get Layton and Adler. Layton is hired to handle the fall-out of the event which comes from Book #1 (no spoilers, if you want to know what happens, read the books!! LOL! Adler is a newly traded hockey player, so he's still settling into his place on the Rai ...more

So many feels on so many levels in this book. A roller coaster ride to be sure. There are a few characters I want to smack- hard, and a few I want to hug tightly and tell them it'll all be fine and that I just want to adopt. To be brave in a world where evil/ hatred lurks takes courage and friends and family that have your back.
Adler and Layton are amazing together. Two totally different backgrounds yet they both have to live with things that hurt them deeply. Adler has his best bud/ assistant A ...more

This series just keeps getting better! I loved Adler and Layton's story. They seem like such opposites but fit together perfectly.

Each a little broken but together they heal each other. I loved seeing these two get their HEA!
I'm looking forward to more books in this series!!! ...more

I love Adler. He is awesome and I totally fell in love with his character in this book.

Layton’s horrific past has him putting up all kinds of walls for Adler to try and break down; I really felt bad when I learned what he went through - I don’t know how people can be so horrible to others. It’s really a shame that such a sweet guy like Layton had to go through an experience like that. It definitely left some lasting effects and I can see why he acts and feels the way he does.

I was really happy ...more
