Blurb
Cisco Reyes should be on top of the world. After seven years with the Alberta Abominables, he’s a first-line defenseman known throughout the league for his skills and his impeccable conduct on the ice. But when a questionable call sends him to the penalty box, he comes face to face with the past he never quite managed to forget--and the man he never stopped loving.
Leo Carrington isn’t proud of the way he cut Cisco out of his life after his breakdown. At the time, it was necessary, but the longer he went without contact, the more impossible it seemed to become. But when life brings him and Cisco together again, he can’t deny the feelings that are still there.
Cisco and Leo both want to try again, but this isn’t their college romance. The chemistry between them is still as electric as ever, but sex isn’t enough to hold a relationship together. And it seems like the harder they try, the more things start to fall apart.
Can Cisco overcome the hurt of the past and move forward? Can Leo stop himself from falling into old patterns? Or are they doomed to have history repeat itself?
Find out in this steamy sports romance featuring a defenseman who loves with everything he has, a former goalie determined to forge his own path in life, and the love that brought them together again.

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Damn, Two Minutes is an amazing addition to the Tripping series by Ariel Bishop. A second chance romance, it's entertaining with some poignant themes.
Cisco and Leo get their second chance years after they played together when younger. Thus their story contains explanations, apologies, and forgiveness. And I loved it all!
It's a story of understanding and taking chances. I love the exploration of the change in both men over the years. Love that they need to re-discover one another, as they definitely aren't who they used to be.
This is a story of mental illness, a story of letting go of the past and looking towards a happier future. Full of the pain, hurt, and guilt. This story excellently explores the impact of parental pressure and the struggle of dealing with stress. It's an amazing aspect to this story, and the author excels in it's illustration.
And I can't adore Cisco any more than I do. He calls his mom "Mommy." Omg, just melt my heart with all the sweetness!
The author expertly uses flashbacks, as well as conversations, to develop the past. The author's writing style is great, with fascinating characters, a compelling storyline, and amazing development.
Two Minutes is an amazing book. Starting with Book One, Softs Hands, I love Ariel Bishop's Tripping series. As I somehow missed Book three, I am off to find that now!
My reviews of the series -
Book 1 - Soft Hands
Book 2 - Three Man Advantage
