Ahhh I love these guys so. Freaking. Much. This novella picks up after the, er, unfortunate events of the last Railers book and Ryker.. and I admit, I was nervous going into this. I have been a huge Ten fan since the beginning of this series, and what happened hurt my heart. But this novella? Wonderful.
It is difficult to see Ten struggle so much with things that most of us take for granted and to see how strained Jared is with everything going on, but this story is full of hope and healing and l ...more

I have been impatiently waiting for this book to come out. One might even say....extremely ...but what can I say? I love Ten and Mads and all the Railers and their partners and NEED to read about them a.s.a.p.
It's so hard to read about a character you have grown to love, have to deal with everything Ten has had to since the tragic event on the ice. Watching his boyfriend Mads try to be strong for him as well as Ten's family and the team. For Mads things get to be overwhelming and he has to draw ...more

I have loved every single character in the Harrisburg Railers series, but have always had a special spot in my heart for Ten. When he got hurt, I was devastated. Luckily, V.L. Locey and R.J. Scott look after their readers. As such, this Christmas novella Neutral Zone was much anticipated and very appreciated.
The story pulls no punches in detailing Ten’s struggles with a head injury and realistically explores his process as he works through rehab for his injury. Having known people who’ve experi ...more

I have no words to say how much I loved this. It is everything I needed with all I didn't know I wanted. After Ten got hurt I freaked out majorly, but seeing him work to get better and Mads working to support him was everything. I really, really loved this.

I am so freaking happy that we got more of Ten and Mads.
I really do love these guys and need so much more of them. I don’t think I could ever get sick of their story. The Railers are such a strong team and family who really band together no matter what they have to face.
This novella picks up after the “accident” that happens with Ten. We see him go through all kinds of struggles and emotions here. I just wanted to jump into the book, grab him and squeeze him and tell him everything would turn ou ...more

I totally loved Neutral Zone. I love revisiting characters from a previous story in the series and of course Tennant and Jared are just so likable. This is one time I think although you don’t have to read Goal Line (the last book in Harrisburg Railers series) I recommend reading it. And if you plan to read the Owatanna U Hockey series, first book Ryker, I would read it first too.

So good to find out how Ten and Jared are doing.
In my review of Goal Line (Harrisburg Railers #6) I said I thought it might be the last book in the series; I've never been so happy to be wrong!
Neutral Zone is a wonderful Christmas gift for fans of the Harrisburg Railers series. It's a quick but very satisfying story to read. Ten is in rehab and hates being away from Jared. Jared has a surprise for Ten but isn't sure this is the right time to give it to him.

Ten and Jared ❤
This is a follow-up to book 6 in the series (Goal Line) and it's Ten and Jared's struggles as hard decisions are made. Ten is determined to return to the ice and Jared has to take a step back as Ten gets the treatment he needs but the distance it puts between them is heartbreaking. This is a holiday read that really hits you in the feels.
This is a must read for anyone who loves this series.

First, read the previous books in this series so you're not tossed in the deep-end without floaties!!
Wow! Ten's followup makes a wonderful holiday story, but as usual with these two authors, it's not all light and fluff. Tennant's work (and frustration) at rehab is compelling and sometimes heart-breaking. The strength of Ten and Mads relationship is amazing and wonderful. Watching someone you love struggle after an illness or injury is one of the hardest things you can experience, and this was h ...more

I love Ten and Mads and I was so glad we got another story with them. I was a bawling mess in book 6 and I needed to know everything that would happen!
Ten was stronger than I gave him credit for, after his coming out to his team and the public.
I felt so much for Jared having so much thrown at him after Tens “accident” that he couldn’t take it and broke down, and I would have done the same thing.

Loved it!!
What a great addition to the Harrisburg Railers series. In this story we get to revisit the first couple in this series, Ten and Mads. This was an amazing story and a must read for anyone who has enjoyed this series so far. I can't wait for the next story in this series.

Wonderful story with the main focus back on Ten and Jared. The authors did a great job of showing the two guys together a lot, even with Ten away in Arizona. While they showed his time there as very important, the focus remained on what it meant to him, Jared, and to the entire team. Fortunately, Ten was home for the Christmas holidays and we got many lovely scenes with family, friends, and team. Loved it!

This story is so full of love, hope, healing, friends and family. I was anxious to see how Ten was doing and it hurt to see his struggle. But no matter what difficulties life puts in their way nothing can change the love and devotion Ten and Jared have for each other.
This lovely morsel of a novella checked all my boxes!
