Ryker is the first book is the author’s ice-hockey centred series Owatonna U Hockey, which is a spin off from their Harrisburg Railers series (which is completely awesome and once more I could go on all day about how much I love that series). Jacob is Ryker’s opposite in many ways, but most especially because he comes from a farming family who work hard to keep their legacy going, as well as pushing Jacob to pursue his dreams. Moving to Owatonna University brings him into orbit with fellow hockey player and team mate, Jacob Benson. The MCs of this book is, obviously, the titular Ryker Madsen who comes from NHL royalty with his father and maternal grandfather and it turns out she is something of a hockey player himself. I could go on for a long time about how much I love their style of writing and how their characters develop and grow, both outside of their book and within the book where those characters become MCs. I adore the authors, VL Locey and RJ Scott, and I especially adore their hockey romances that they write together. Review: Ryker has been a long awaited book for me. So why, if Ryker is everything he dislikes, does he want nothing more than to explore the sinful dreams that his annoying teammate stars in every night? Ryker’s flip, conceited, carefree attitude grates on Jacob’s every nerve.
Running into a pretty rich boy like Ryker Madsen is putting a damper on his enjoyment of life away from home. will probably be the only time he has to enjoy life, gain acceptance about his sexuality, and live openly before his inevitable return to the farm. Jacob is using his skills in hockey to finance his way to an agricultural science degree. Born and raised in the small rural community of Eden Crossing, Minnesota, he’s the only son of a hard-working but struggling dairy farming family. Jacob Benson has only known hard work and stifling conservative values his whole life. When tragedy rocks his family, his charmed life crumbles, and the only person he can turn to is the same one who claims to hate him. After all trying to get his Owatonna Eagles teammate into bed is less work and more play. He certainly has no place for love, and meeting Jacob is nothing but a useful distraction on the side.
He has no room for relationships, people who point out his flaws, or anyone who calls him on his dreams. Playing college hockey to develop his game is his only focus, and nothing will stand in the way of him working to become the best player. Ryker comes from a long line of championship-winning hockey players. Can two vastly different people find common ground and become the men they want to be?
