Hard-fought HEA

The Nature of the Game is a romance featuring a love-burned hockey star, an artist trying to escape family exploitation, a perfectly timed hurricane, and a second chance to make things right. Ash never knew why Dan left him at the airport when their relationship was ready to take off, and Dan never had the courage to get out from under his mother's malicious manipulations. Unexpected circumstances force them together again, and each has the chance to reminisce, showing the reader a side-by-side progression of their first relationship with the one currently in motion. The character development is rich and rewarding, and the HEA is hard-fought and well-deserved. Lots of colorful side characters (including cameos from other book couples) make for an entertaining read. The audio, narrated by Adam Lawrence, is spectacular. He does a great job not only with differentiating characters' voices but with pacing and emotion as well. It is a listen to be savored!

A very entertaining read

I really enjoyed this one, I had a really good time reading it and the audiobook was absolutely lovely too, it was just so great and I enjoyed every seconds I spent listening to this one.

Second chance romances are one of my favourite trope in books and I just loved how this one was done, it was everything I love and want out of the trope.

*I received an ARC of this book, and this is my honest opinion.*

sweet second chance story

This was a fantastic second chance story! Dan sacrificed everything because of his mother. He lost Ash! Dan is a professional hockey player. He recently outed himself. When they are forced to spend time together after six years, they end up opening up to each other. Loved this!! This was my first time listening to Adam Lawrence, he did a fantastic job!

Loved!

Adam Lawrence does a wonderful job of bringing this story to life.
The Nature of the Game is a wonderful second chance romance. I loved the first book in this series (Mitch and Alex's story) and was thrilled to Dan and Ash's story.

This is a powerful, emotional story of reaching for another chance with the love of your life. Without going into to many details, Dan and Ash have been apart for six years and meet up again unexpectedly. Old feelings are still there but can they overcome the pain and mistrust from the past?

I hurt for both of them. I rooted for their HEA! I was totally thrown into their story and did not put this book down until I reached the last page. I need more from this wonderful series!

A terrific story! - by Shana W

I was provided with a copy of the audiobook of this story, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was well read and very entertaining! The main characters, Dan and Ash, were obviously meant for each other. We see evidence of this not only in their second chance story, but in flashbacks throughout the book to 6 years previously, when they first got together. I loved the mix of humour and drama in the book, and the cast of characters was wonderful. The book was well written and I couldn't stop listening to the story. I highly recommend reading it, and I'm looking forward to reading other books by Amy Aislin.

Second chance romance with a sweet ending!

I absolutely love a good second chance romance story and The Nature of the Game is one of my favorite! I love Dan and Ash's chemistry, even after spending so many years apart. There is just something so sweet about seeing two people who are meant to be together find their way back to each other! It was great getting to see some of our favorite characters from the first book and see just how well they are still doing in the future, plus there are so many characters introduced now that I can't wait to see how else will get their own book in the future! The narration was excellent and I will happily listen to this narrator again in the future! Wonderful characters who just pull at your heart and great storylines that are engaging and sweet!

a sweet second chance hockey romance

I read this book when it first came out and loved it. I was so happy to also experience it as an audiobook. Dan and Ash’s story is sweet, heartbreaking, and a bit angsty. This book is completely enjoyable and Adam Lawrence’s narration makes it even better.

A loving second chance romance

A sweet story rife with miscommunication and an interfering mother who needs a good *witch* slap! There were several times I wanted to yell at both MCs in both present and the flashbacks to just freaking communicate already but I could also understand why it would have been so hard for both men. I loved the story and it was great to see Dan and Ash in such a great place by the end of the story. This was a new to me narrator and I enjoyed what he brought to the story.
