Common Denominators

Common Goal (Gamechangers #4) by Rachel Reid

July 12, 2026 by Zirza Leave a Comment

Eric Bennett is a hockey goalie for the New York Admirals. He’s pushing forty and knows that the end of his career is coming, but he finds it hard to take the plunge. Recently divorced, he’s eager to explore the other side of the bisexual equation, so when he meets Kyle at a gay bar he’s game. But will the age gap get in the way?  I find it increasingly hard to write reviews of these books because they’re all the same. That’s not an […]

Common Goal (Game Changers 4) by Rachel Reid

September 5, 2020 by Emmalita 4 Comments

Common Goal was very readable, but perhaps suffered from having been read after a string of excellent books. While I read it quickly and enjoyed it while I read it, it hasn’t stayed with me. It also suffers a bit in comparison to Reid’s Heated Rivalry, a book that captured magic. Eric and Kyle’s story is much gentler, and there is nothing wrong with that. It’s a 3.5 star read. Eric is recently divorced, getting ready for the end of his hockey career and thinking […]
