Changing Lines (Harrisburg Railers Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 1,243 ratings

Can Tennant show Jared that age is just a number, and that love is all that matters?

The Rowe Brothers are famous hockey hotshots, but as the youngest of the trio, Tennant has always had to play against his brothers’ reputations. To get out of their shadows, and against their advice, he accepts a trade to the Harrisburg Railers, where he runs into Jared Madsen. Mads is an old family friend and his brother’s one-time teammate. Mads is Tennant’s new coach. And Mads is the sexiest thing he’s ever laid eyes on.

Jared Madsen’s hockey career was cut short by a fault in his heart, but coaching keeps him close to the game. When Ten is traded to the team, his carefully organized world is thrown into chaos. Nine years his junior and his best friend’s brother, he knows Ten is strictly off-limits, but as soon as he sees Ten’s moves, on and off the ice, he knows that his heart could get him into trouble again.

    5 Stars, Book & Narration

    I did not want this book to end. I think that this book was put together well, and if this is what we have to look forward to in the rest of the series, I won’t hesitate to get my hands on the next several books. I think the collaboration between RJ Scott and VL Locey is a definite mark in the win column, this book turned out great and I was sucked in from the first few lines.

    Oh, and then add in the fantastic narration by Sean Crisden and this book was basically perfect. Sean gave us a great performance (again), making sure the main characters and even the minor hockey players and family members were all given the correct voices and accents depending on where they were from. Sean even gives us some good Boston and Ukrainian/Russian accents too, it was awesome. This was another really solid narration from him. Sean is still one of my favorite narrators no matter how many books I’ve heard because he is always so consistent with what he gives us.

    I was happy to see that not only do we get a great book and personal story for these two men, Tennant “Ten” and Jared “Mads”, but *gasp* we actually got see and learn about some hockey in this book as well. Sometimes with sports books we don’t actually get to see the sports being played or written in on-page and that was so not the case here. We got to see these characters put their hearts and souls into their sport as well as each other. Tennant is an upcoming hockey star on the new Harrisburg Railers team, and Mads is the defensive line coach. It was great to hear that Ten and Mads grew up together, that they had that background even though they fell out of touch. They get a second chance at getting to know each other again now they are both adults. The two of them together is seriously steamy H.O.T. and there are a few scenes that were pretty sexy, but I would have loved to see more of them getting personal together. There just wasn’t enough time in this book for them to get really in-depth, strengthen their dynamic and create enough chemistry and tension.

    This book was really low angst and had virtually no drama. Ten and his brothers have an interesting dynamic though, all three of them being pro hockey players and getting competitive when their teams collide in a match. Ten is still the baby of the family and his brothers are consistently treating him as such throughout the book, always questioning his decisions.

    Mads is the perfect older “hot” dad to a teenage boy Ryker. One thing I had issue with was how Mads always made himself out to be “old” but he was really only mid-thirties and Ten really wasn’t that much younger like 10-13yrs difference in age. I thought that the deal with Mads’s ex father in law, Ryker's grandpa, was an interesting situation all around. I didn’t get how they just let him act the way he did, almost like they were all afraid to stand up to him and put their foot down. He was the main drama piece in this book and I hated him each time he surfaced.

    Omg, and the hockey players all playing Pokémon Go and creating their own Pokémon team was hilarious, I thought that was a really fun addition to this book, and made them see all that much more real to me. This book was really great. I would also like to add that Mads's son Ryker is younger like 17 or so in this one. But I would love to see him a few years down the line as the main character of his own book.

    Ten and Mads find themselves in the same organization as player and coach. The attraction is instant bit how do they live their lives without blowing up their careers? Ten makes a stand against his older brother Brady who plays for Boston. Mads stands up for his son Ryker against his sort of ex father in law, Ev. Together they face what comes with the term, organization and fans. Great intro to the Railers.

    Sean Crisden is rapidly becoming one of my favorite voice actors, more than a story narrator. The reader/listener will soon forget that he is reading the story to you and fall into the pages of the book.  His characters are realistic and there is nothing that pulls your attention from the story which, to me, is the mark of an expert voice actor/narrator.
    The cover designed by @MeredithRAuthor is perfect and I absolutely recognize Mads and Ten!

    Sports romance is hot, a favorite of mine and authors Scott and Locey are well known for their mastery of sports/hockey stories.  Add in the age gap, the dynamic of older brother's best friend and the taboo nature of a relationship between a hockey player and the coach and you have the recipe for a great story.
    This story has meat with multi-generational complex family dynamics involving both main characters.  Tennant has always been compared or at least compared himself to his pro hockey star brothers so his move to an expansion team was a big one and not favored by his family.  He needed to spread his wings and not just in his sport.  Coach Jared Madsen is raising a teenage son and his attention is split between his team and his son's development as a young man and a hockey player in the family tradition.  He has no time to devote to more than a coach-player relationship with his former teammate's brother although his mind and heart return to Ten.
    This was a great introduction to the Harrisburg Railers series and the characters we meet here are interesting and lots of fun as well.  This, again, left me wanting much more.

    The sizzle rating is 'hot' - "4 out of 5"
    My rating for the narrator is 4.5, exceptional!
    The story 4.5 stars - a top pick!

    I read ALL the other books in this series before I read this one, which might seem odd 😂 except that the excerpt of this book didn’t appeal to me. I only decided to read this because Ten was such a presence in the other books that I just had to read it.

    It’s funny how I learn more about Ten’s character from the other books than from THE book dedicated to getting to know him. In all the other books, Ten is this really upbeat guy, the life of the team and an all round nice guy. Problem was, I didn’t really get that from this book. I will admit you do see hints of it and it wouldn’t be a stretch to extrapolate his character from here to the rest of the book but, it’s just...I wish we saw that here too, and not just from the rest of the series.

    I don’t know if I can say the individual books are good as can be evidenced in the ratings for the other books. But on a whole, it was a rather enjoyable series. It sounds weird, I know 😅 It’s just each couple’s book seems too short but we get to know them more throughout the series.

    Ah heck, I love the characters. I just wish each individual book was as fulfilling as the series as a whole 🤷🏻‍♀️

    I hold my hand up, I know nothing about sport any sport except maybe Olympic swimming and Diving! However I love reading about them, I think I could become a fan of Ice Hockey, Ten and Mads are a really engaging and enjoyable couple finding each other in a climate where their experience is how it should be received, possibly not from reading social media How it would actually be received. The secondary characters and the relevant family members are delightful. This is the start of a new series and I'm looking forward to the rest.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great series, Love me some Ten and Jared!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 16, 2021
    I have read the whole series and the follow on series too. But this couple will always be my favourite.

    Ten is the youngest of the Rowe brothers. Both his brothers play hockey for big teams and he is trying to get out from under their shadow. They don't agree with him joining the Railers, but he does it anyway. He is in the closet and even his very close family don't know. When he joins the team, he runs into Jared again. He is his brothers best friend and he has always had a crush on.

    Jared's hockey career was cut short due to a heart condition. He now is the Railers defense coach. He has teenage son, who he had when he was still a teenager himself. Jared is bisexual and when he sees Ten, he can't keep his eyes off him.

    Ten takes a chance to make a move when he sees it, but Jared is weary, as he is a coach on the team and older than Ten. But they both can't fight the attraction to each other and eventually give in. Ten is new to everything and he wants to rush in and do everything at once. Jared is a calming influence on him though and when they eventually do have sex it is super hot. The strawberries scene was so freaking sexy and it made me laugh that that's when Brady, Ten's brother arrives. As expected he doesn't take it well as first, but he comes round.

    I loved when he came out to his family and they were all so supportive of him. The tree house scene was amazing, and to think that's how everyone finds out about their relationship. I also loved how Ten came out to the world that he was gay, and also in a relationship with Jared too. He came out on his terms and that's what I loved about it.

    You must read all the amazing follow ups of them. They have an amazing story after this and the things Ten goes through later on are so hard. But the last 2 books are amazing in the series and really rounded off their amazing happy ending!
