Publisher's summary

As the new head coach of the Vancouver Orcas, Matt Shore has got his work cut out for him. Coming off a season where the Orcas came in last in the entire AHL, Matt’s job is to whip his new hockey team into shape for the oncoming season.

He doesn’t need any distractions, especially not one in the form of a tall, dark, and gorgeous antiques dealer.

Who’s also his ex—and his best player’s father.

Pierce Langley-Brown has a lot of regrets. The biggest? Leaving Matt behind two years ago when his son needed him. Now, with his son on Matt’s hockey team, there’s no avoiding the man who once owned his heart.

Not that Pierce wants to avoid him. And that heart? It still belongs to Matt.

But will Matt choose to keep it after all this time?

Great couple.

A very enjoyable book. It has probably my favorite meet-cute and first date story I’ve ever read. These two main characters were made for each other. The giant hiccup in their relationship was worrisome, but when the time was right, they slid (almost) right back into it. Trust needed to be won back but they grew from their time apart. They are more open and honest with one another on this go round. The son storyline was good, it made me sad that Pearce’s fear let him rule how open he was with his son. Matt was an amazing character, I loved most everything about him. The smooth ending was so good.

Aaron Hokanson did an amazing job. His voice was perfect for this story and I loved to listen to him.

Great MM Romance

I love the chemistry between Matt & Pierce. Amy Aislin has a way of making her characters feel real. This is the 1st book in the series which is narrated by Aaron Hokansan who has a talented voice. Can't wait for the next book.

Baker and Hockey

Blaire is in his 10th year of the AHL and if he doesn't make it into the NHL this year, he will be finished with hockey. He hires a PA so he can work on his drills more.
Charlie is the baker for the NHL team in Vancouver but it's not enough hours to keep him going financially. He takes the position as Blaire's PA. The two fit together perfectly. Low angst book with a sweet story.

Excellent Second Chance Romance ❤️

This was second chance done right, I really enjoyed it. I love this author’s hockey romances, I appreciate that the hockey feels authentic. I liked the unique premise, neither Matt or Pierce are hockey players, they are AHL coach and player’s dad. Matt and Pierce didn’t work out the first time, they had an abrupt breakup when Pierce ended things to focus on repairing his relationship with his son Jason. The narrator’s performance is really well done, I enjoyed hearing Matt and Pierce brought to life, complete with lovely Canadian accents. I especially loved how willing Matt was to embrace a second chance, forgiving Pierce for their brutal breakup could not have been easy, but made their happy ending possible.

Sweet Second Chance

Book 1, Vancouver Orca’s 🎧
Narrated by Aaron Hokanson

This was my first Amy Aislin book and I’m a fan. I don’t hide my love of hockey romances and the fact that this book is set where I live was icing on the cake. It was pretty neat hearing all the streets, restaurants etc mentioned and knowing where everything is.

Pierce and Matt reconnect after breaking up 2 years prior. Pierce is desperate for a second chance but Matt is understandably wary given the way they had ended. They start seeing each other as friends again and Matt is cautious and Pierce is hopeful.

This story really is about second chances. Especially for Pierce. A second chance at being a partner, father, brother and business owner. I enjoyed seeing the progression of all these aspects of his life.

Matt was a very likeable character. Kinda stoic, serious and commanding in a really hot way! He was very understanding of Pierce and very protective of him which I loved.

I also really liked the flashbacks to how they met and even how they broke up. It really gave you a look into Matt and Pierce “before” and was integral into understanding the current tension between the two.

If you like reading about:

🏒 Mental health rep
🏒 Second chances
🏒 Lovers-friends-lovers
🏒 Low angst
🏒 Hockey!!!

Then this book is for you!

🔥🔥

My only gripe is how the narrator said Coachella (Palm Springs, CA) 😆He said it coh-ah-chella. It’s literally said like you’d think…ko-chella.

Wonderful work!

I absolutely loved everything about this book. I never really was into hockey before, but now I have a pull. Also the connection between these two men keeps growing stronger and I can’t wait to see what happens next. I received this book for my honest opinion and I loved it.

" what do you say coach? Want to marry me?"


This second chance hockey romance was so very sweet. The beginning basically ripped my heart out and almost had me hating the 2nd MMC, Pierce. Until it started to finally come together. What you don't expect in this story is the mental health breakdown that pierce goes through.

From a horrible divorce to a life altering family situation and finally, Pierce running away.

Matt's career is doing amazing. His love life after Pierce? Yeah, not too hot. It's stagnant but also Matt just isn't over Pierce.

They meet again in odd circumstances that ties them both together, Pierce's son on Matt's AHL team.

Pierce has 2 options here. Keep pretending that he just met Matt OR beg for forgiveness and try to get back what he had.

Obviously our antique dealer tries to win his man back!

There are more hoops to jump through throughout the book and all are make or break it situations.

Relationships, background characters, storyline, character history or situations are all well done.

Audio narration is very well done as well.

I personally like a bit more smexiness in my books, BUT if you tend to like more fluffy relationship stuff with "I can't keep my hands off you" then I recommend this hands down

Second Chances ❤️

Game Plan is the story of second chances when mental health steps in and tries to ruin things.

Pierce is dealing with depression and a downward spiral. He leaves his partner very suddenly and without explanation.

Matt is stunned when he comes home to Pierce packing. He knows something is off but Pierce isn’t saying anything other than goodbye.

Two years later and Peirce’s son is playing for the Orca’s under Coach Matt. This brings these two back in the same orbit. Matt is cautious but is willing to listen to why Pierce left in the first place. Through some forced running these two start spending time together and learning about each other again.

I really enjoyed this story. Amy did a great job with showing how much mental health can impact not only the sufferer but their friends and family.

This is my first audiobook with Aaron Hokanson as the narrator. I felt he did an okay job but did find him fairly monotone. He varied the younger voices slightly but both MCs sounded the same to me.

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Spice: 🌶️🌶️/4
Audio: 🎧🎧🎧/5

Another Great Book from Amy Aislin!

I love Amy's stories and this one continues her trend of stories that include great character development and endearing side characters. I especially liked how this story focused on a father of a young adult- I often read books with fathers with young children, but seeing the relationship with an older child adds a whole other dynamic. While I understood why Matt opened himself back up to Pierce, their quick re-connection felt in some ways rushed to me and my only quip with the story was perhaps some more development leading up to this connection. I can't wait to read more about them in the next book!
