A Players of LA Novel A hockey star skating on the edge of a catastrophe. A PR specialist so adept, he's called "the fixer." Working together will be the biggest challenge of both their careers. The LA Vikings hockey team is fed up with the violent outbursts of its huge right wing, Viktor Novak, who is not an enforcer but persists in acting like one. Hounded by a homophobic and domineering father, Viktor takes out his frustrations by spilling bloodâon and off the ice. Now he has one last chance to clean up his image, or his career is over. That's where Bowen Miller comes in. Bo has taken on the hardest cases and succeededâby micromanaging every aspect of a client's lifeâat the expense of his own happiness. But in the stubborn, hot mess that is Viktor, Bo might have met his matchâboth in and out of the bedroom. One man is out of control, and one controls everything. But when sex and attraction come into play, those roles are open to negotiation. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Viktor is angry, belligerent, violent, and goes on the attack “just in case”. His aggression boils over at the slightest provocation and splashes out around anyone standing within three feet of him, metaphorically speaking. It hit me from the first page, and it was quite an experience – not just because it was so well done and utterly convincing, but also because I was curious to find out what caused it and I soon began to wonder if he’d ever be able to get rid of it. Behaviors and protective mechanisms – because that is largely what it is for Viktor – are there for a reason, and boy, does Viktor have reasons!
Bo is not exactly a wallflower either. He has more self-control than most people – to the point where he could be taken for an icicle rather than a man, but his inner energy and temperament are very similar to Viktor’s. Bo has learned to channel his aggression better, but fundamentally, he understands the people who get into a problem with the press because he knows how they feel. His success has made him arrogant to the point of nausea, and his need to control everything is a protective mechanism in its own right.
Watching these two “titans” clash was an amazing experience. Both men have emotional walls around them that seem hopelessly secure, and yet they both desperately need each other. I was on the edge of my seat following the revelations, their fights and progress, the heat of their physical encounters, and their desperate struggle to find a way to be in a relationship they both so clearly wanted, even though neither of them admits it for a very long time.
If you like stories about complicated characters who virtually kill each other before they figure out they are meant to be together, if you want to see opposite ends of the control spectrum clash and explode, and if you’re looking for a read that has character growth, deep passion, and offers a romance that is as rocky as it is complicated, then you will probably like this novel as much as I do. I sincerely hope the next one in this sports-based series is not too far from publication.
