Once the line is crossed, every penalty is major.
Dalek "Taz" Tazandlakova is the epitome of a hockey player—tall, broad, and powerful. As a forward for the Lafayette Ice Water Moccasins, he's also the physical embodiment of domination and intimidation.
He's everything Liam Jolivet isn't.
Liam possesses an inner strength and confidence Taz has never mastered. On the surface, Liam appears to be a perfect match for Taz. The problem is, Liam is dating Taz’s roommate. It’s not the only problem, either. Taz is a “playa” and has commitment issues—along with a pain-in-the-ass coach who's threatening to ruin his career, and a second roommate who wants to dictate his social life for his own personal gain.
Nevertheless, Taz wants Liam, and Liam appears to want to reciprocate. Do they dare cross the line?

Taz is a hockey player - one that hasn't made it to the big time yet. He's on a team with a coach that seems to despise him and blame him for every mistake. Taz shares a house with two of his best friends and is estranged from his family. Liam has been involved with Taz's friend but Liam is fed up of the hot and cold and actually wants Taz.
Taz is caught up in a number of morale dilemmas here. He is asked to be more physical and deliberately cut players up as a way of increasing attendance at their games. He is asked to start a relationship with a man who could save his and his friend's jobs, despite the fact that this guy is no better than a snake. He also discovers he has feelings for the guy who is seeing one of his friends. What I like about Taz though is that his value compass is strong and doesn't stray too far from it...except in the case of Liam.
There is a warning at the beginning of this book as elements may be a trigger. From this I was expecting more and for it be an integral part of the story but it didn't feel as though it was fully explored or dealt with. That being said, I found myself willing these two together and finding their HEA. Both had integrity, passion and courage to stand by what they believed in.
