Brace And Chase is a Contemporary MM Hockey Romance and Book 4 in the All It Takes Series. Themes include a rivalry, "real" hate that turns into actually real love, found family feels, just a smidge of hurt/comfort, and a couple of guys who love hockey more than anything in the world...or so they think. While it’s technically a standalone, it would be best enjoyed by reading the series in order.This book has no cliffhangers and ends in a HEA. There are a lot of very gay things happening inside, so if that’s not for you, then this book isn’t either. If it is, then welcome to the mostly low-angst world of the All It Takes Series, I’m thrilled to have you and hope you enjoy this journey.
