Role Model by Rachel ReidMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is Troy's story (he was Dallas Kent's friend from the previous books, with hints in the last book that he may really not be a bad person at heart). Troy gets traded to Ottawa, the worst team in the league, after he calls out Dallas over sexual assault allegations. The league, of course, took Dallas's side. Needless the say, their friendship (thank the goddess) is DEAD. And to add another shitty thing, his boyfriend of 2 years broke up with him (and is now out and engaged).
Harris is the team's social media manager. He is loved by everyone on the team. He's out, proud, and usually always quick to laugh/have a smile on his face. He is super close to his family (they have an apple orchard) and they love him just as he is.
Troy is a bit of an asshole at the beginning this is. I do understand why he was unhappy, but it sucked that he took it out on the people around him. Eventually he does thaw and Harris provides a person he can confide in and share some history (shocker, Troy's dad is an asshole). Ilya is also a supportive person and he is one of the first people that Troy comes out to. We get to see characters from the previous books; Scott, Kip, Ilya, Shane, Ryan, Fabian, Eric, and Kyle all make appearances. Shane is a blink and miss, Ilya has much more.
Does cover homophobia, sexaul assault.
