Author: Amy Aislin
Series: Stick Side – Book 2
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Blurb: Six years ago, an ultimatum forced Dan Greyson to make a choice that cost him everything he loved most. One of those things? His boyfriend, hockey player Ashton Yager. Now that they’ve crossed paths again, Dan isn’t about to let the opportunity slip away. Ash’s reappearance in his life is just the catalyst Dan needs to escape the rut he’s fallen into…and win back Ash’s trust and love.
Ashton Yager, once burned and now a little bit shy, didn’t mean to publicly come out as bisexual. But now that he has, he’s got to deal with the consequences, including the fact that it might’ve cost him his NHL contract. With his job on the line, he needs to keep his head down, work hard, and play the best hockey of his life. Rekindling things with Dan? That’s not exactly keeping a low profile. It’s also never going to happen, not after Dan walked away once without an explanation.
When a hurricane forces Ash to seek shelter out-of-state, he and Dan find themselves in the same B&B, where old feelings resurface. But with everything Ash has on the line, does he dare play with fire again?

Review: Some say that the universe only gives us what we can handle, no more, no less. For Ashton Yager and Dan Greyson, that saying has a different meaning. Life gave Dan a mother who dominated his and his brother’s lives. She used them in ways they hated, to get what she wanted in her life. It took Dan years to find himself but during those years, he suffered at her hands. He also brought pain to those around him, specifically Ash.
How do you re-enter a person’s life after inflicting pain, pain that needn’t have been inflicted? How do you expect that person to react when you try to explain why? How do you grow through that situation, grow enough to find your own legs to stand on? Amy Aislin did a great job walking me through the pain, the later conflicts, and the ultimate healing. She did a good job bringing me into their lives, helping me to understand the pain they endured, and even the struggles that followed an unfortunate slip of the tongue – to near a journalist.
If you are looking for a love story, a love story that seems doomed from the start, a love story that is so fragile each partner can’t face the possibilities, then give The Nature Of The Game a chance. At minimum, you will fall in love with both Ash and Dan.
