Second in a College Hockey Series, but NOT a Hockey Book

 Wildfire by Hannah Grace 

This was a fast read; I finished it in a day. I liked that many of the characters that we met in book 1 returned for this book, but they weren't the main focus. This book is about Russ, the quiet one on the hockey team. They are having a party at the house and he pretends to have confidence so he can hit on Aurora. It works. They spend the rest of the part together and then she spends part of the night with him, but she doesn't stay. He thinks he completely messed up and he's never going to see her again, but they both end up being counselors at the same summer camp. The only problem is, the camp has a strict no fraternization rule. Russ needs the job, plus he likes to follow rules, so he is doing his best to stick to it. That doesn't last. They are obsessed with each other when nobody else is around and are trying to hide their relationship from everyone, especially the kids. He is having family problems and has to leave for a day to go see his dad in the hospital. While there he finally tells his mom everything his dad has been doing and then tells his dad to stay out of his life unless and until he can stop gambling because he's an addict. Aurora also has family issues and she has been summoned to her fathers wedding because of she's not there the press will start to ask questions that he doesn't want to answer. The last day of camp rolls around and Russ starts a fight with Aurora because she answered his phone and found out how bad things were with his dad. She was planning on going to the wedding, but decided to drive back to school with him so they could either fix their relationship or end it. On the drive he finally opens up and tells her everything and they fix it. The epilogue is them almost a decade in the future, back in the same town as the camp, at the opening of her new bookstore. This was a good addition to the series.
