Ilya is technically not a mob boss, but he definitely belongs in prison. Morally grey Ilya. Morally gray everyone. Deliciously complicated, lots of politics, very smart Ilya. And sweet Shane gets slightly corrupted but mostly just looks the other way, with his fingers in his ears singing la-la-la. Very fun and engaging read.

Summary
There was something wrong with Shane Hollander.
He had known it since he was young.
Most people-most kids, in general-had different hobbies and interests. Their attention drifted from one thing to another. They became fascinated with something for a few weeks, only to abandon it for the next shiny obsession that caught their eye.
Shane had never been like that.
When it came to him, there was only ever one thing: hockey.
Obsessive.
That was the word most people used when referring to his temperament.

And they were roommates! Except not, people are just idiots. Also: sociopath Shane but in a wholesome kind of way? Ilya ends up in a golden cage and is quite happily displaying al his trophies there. He's exactly where he wants to be. Highly recommended read.

Summary
“Did you like them? My parents?”
Ilya squints at him. “I love them,” he says simply, like it should be obvious. “They’re your parents.”
But, Shane thinks idly, there's a difference, isn't there, between loving them and liking them?
(5 times Shane thinks Ilya doesn't like his parents and 1 time he finds out the truth)

Hurts in just the right way. Miscommunication, but the kind where they keep talking just slightly out of sync.

Summary
No serious hockey fan or sports commentator worth their salt would have considered record-breaking Boston superstar Ilya Rozanov to be Shane Hollander’s rival exactly, but sleeping with a man who had a specific offense-related vendetta against him and a wrist shot like a jet engine to back it up was probably ill-advised just the same.
Or, Shane is a goalie. Ilya can’t score.

Awesome. Shane is a goalie, appropriately awkward, and very endearing. Has the same format as the book, spanning years. I loved how the goalie helmets told the story of Shane's self-esteem. Really engaging and enjoyable read.

It starts in an elevator by Sporkess

Summary
Yuna getting stuck in an elevator with Ilya for two hours doesn't change everything... but it changes some things. Like Yuna getting to be on a first-name basis with Ilya a full year before her son is.
(Part 2 (the smutty part) is not actually essential reading if you are not in the mood for smut!)

Bookmarker's Notes
I absolutely love this series. Starts out sweet, but quickly turns into a sharp commentary on hockey culture, and what happens when systems to protect people from workplace harassment fail. Interspersed with enough fun and fluff to keep it an engaging read. Very good use of social media. I really like stories where the relationship is part of the story, but not the only part. Also love 'so obvious asking is stupid'. I would love a next installment, but it is also already perfect as it is.
