Goalie Interference by Piper Vaughn, Avon Gale

5.0

4.5 Stars

I enjoyed Ryu and Army so much. This is a fun enemy to lovers story with a great sports backdrop. I really have fun with the guys on the Venom team. One of the things I like best about this sports series is that Avon Gale and Piper Vaughn don't even try to fit things into the NHL as it exists in reality. They're not making up teams amidst real team. This hockey world functions exactly like the NHL but all the teams are fictional teams, with fictional names. It means there's no confusion. I appreciate that in my sports stories. The Atlanta Venom are such fun. They have great camaraderie which of sets the antagonism between Ryu and Army at the start of the story so well.

I wasn't sure how I felt about this book being between the two competing goalie's on the team, but ultimately it was told in such a lovely way. I was worried it was going to be such a source of contention between these two that the romance wouldn't be believable. Instead they figured out how to love and support each other while making the team better in the end. I liked this story a lot. If there was one downside I wish I'd gotten a little bit more of how Ryu felt about everything. I felt like I knew more about how Emmitt was feeling in everything than I did Ryu. Still they were both great characters and I throughly enjoyed this story.
