Tampa Sentinels Captain Hayes Montgomery has
hero-worshipped Morgan Reynolds his entire career, watching as the
larger-than-life hockey star has racked up stats that always seemed
unreal. Unattainable. Unreachable.
Until Hayes himself is labeled
“the next one” and to his surprise, he and Morgan end up on the same
team together, playing for Team USA in a nation versus nation
tournament.
Now Hayes’ hero isn’t just his teammate, but his
linemate. They’re hot on the ice, and despite Morgan’s straight
reputation, off it too.
It’s only ten days, but it’s the best ten days of his life. That shouldn’t be long enough for a hockey crush to morph into a real crush, but Hayes falls head over heels, fling-himself-off-a-cliff, wildly in love with Morgan, anyway.
They
don’t play on the same team or even on the same coast. Normally,
they’re never in the same zip code, but that doesn’t change Hayes’
feelings—or his regret when the fling ends.
Fast forward six years. Morgan’s retired, Hayes is writing his own name in the record books, and he’s sure he’s over it. Over him.
But then Morgan arrives in Tampa to watch his rookie son play for the Sentinels.
He
doesn’t want to be hung up on his teammate’s dad, but it doesn’t matter
how long it’s been or what he’s tried. Morgan still makes Hayes’ knees
weak.
And when it turns out Morgan has his own Hayes’ shaped regret?
Maybe they can finally find their way back to each other again.
Breakaway Goals is a MM hockey standalone romance, but spins off from Beth's Portland Evergreens series. |

Copy received from Neon Rainbow Reviews for an honest review
As I have been reading the Portland Evergreens series, I have always, and I mean always intrigued by Hayes Montgomery and his long time unrequited love that we have heard about.
And here it is - we get the whole kit and kaboodle, and I am here for it!
It was everything and more than I could ever have thought.
This was a HEA 6 years in the making - and I am so glad Hayes got it, because how can you not love the guy.
Making me feel more for Morgan Reynolds than a kind of revolt and disgust of the way he was with his son, let along the wonderful Hayes, that was always going to be a bigger ask from Bolden.
But she did it. She really did it, and I ended up loving the guy by the end of the book.
This has been one of the best in the Evergreen-verse for me. I liked seeing Morgan become the man he should have been before. How he is with his son Finn. His banter and growing friendship with Jacob. But mostly I adored seeing him become the man he is today, letting his walls come down and oh how I love him with Hayes.
The friendships surrounding the main men too are the types of friendships we all need in our lives - those who would help up bury a body, and then comfort us afterwards.
You just need to read this book and get immersed in the whole thing.
