Tough Guy: Now Streaming on Crave and HBO Max (Game Changers Book 3)

3.5⭐️ rounded up. I found the first half more enjoyable. The latter half felt a bit rushed and would have benefited from some fleshing out. It seemed spackled together to get to a quick HEA. This has been the quickest read of the series for me, so even just a few more chapters would have helped cement their relationship for me. Heated Rivalry is a hard act to follow, and this is almost like a palate cleanser.

That being said, the MCs were both great. Ryan, my anxious, burly bear - I have never related with a hockey player more. And the way Fabian approached Ryan’s anxiety and low self-confidence was lovely. It’s a very sweet story.

Book 1: Game Changer - ⭐⭐⭐
Book 2: Heated Rivalry - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Book 3: Tough Guy - ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Book 4: Common Goal - ⭐⭐
Book 5: Role Model - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Book 6: The Long Game - ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fabian and Ryan are beautiful together (Fabian is much hotter in the book than on the cover) but Ilya is the star of this book in my opinion
