Publisher's Summary

They don't play for the same team. Or do they?

Jamie Canning has never been able to figure out how he lost his closest friend. Four years ago, his tattooed, wisecracking, rule-breaking roommate cut him off without an explanation. So what if things got a little weird on the last night of hockey camp the summer they were 18? It was just a little drunken foolishness. Nobody died.

Ryan Wesley's biggest regret is coaxing his very straight friend into a bet that pushed the boundaries of their relationship. Now, with their college teams set to face off at the national championship, he'll finally get a chance to apologize. But all it takes is one look at his longtime crush, and the ache is stronger than ever.

Jamie has waited a long time for answers but walks away with only more questions - can one night of sex ruin a friendship? If not, how about six more weeks of it?

When Wesley turns up to coach alongside Jamie for one more hot summer at camp, Jamie has a few things to discover about his old friend...and a big one to learn about himself.

Warning: Contains sexual situations, hotties on hockey skates, skinnydipping, shenanigans in an SUV, and proof that coming out to your family on social media is a dicey proposition.

Okay but cliché

Good. Lack the finesse in the writing comparable to other similar novels like TJ Klune or Alexis Hall. Descriptive of sex scenes balanced. detailed enough to be hot without beginning everlasting. Story linear, without sparkles or wow factor. awesome performance for readers.

LOVED THIS

It's hard finding a good story in which the characters feel like real people and make decisions that don't remind me of my teenage angsty days

First MM romance and I absolutely loved it!!! 🥰

This book was truly amazing! I was truly touched by Ryan and Jamie’s love story. And it was also HOT AF 🔥. I had a few doubts that I would be able to relate with the characters and the story as much as my usual romance novels because of the MM factor, but boy did I relate to their story and boy did their chemistry and desire for each other turn me on! 🤩 The narrators voices were such a contributing factor since Jacob Morgan and Teddy Hamilton’s voices are so sexy and perfect for these characters! This book is definitely worth your audible credit just to listen to their hot and sexy voices narrate the story for you, the audio experience is totally worth it! Enjoy your reading, now I’m going to start Us, the next novel in the series! 🤩

best MM romance in a long time

this book is one of my all-time favorite books and by far one of the best male male romances on this app. It is the typical jock trope but it's written so well with so much authenticity. you just can't help but love it. The whole series is totally worth it.

Amazing story!

The book and the whole story was great! From the first book (this one) to the second one. You’ll love both characters and how this story evolves. Once you read this, get ready to read the other 2 books.

Sometimes I wish they had extended the story a bit more (maybe a new book perhaps). But I loved the series

Great story and narration

Solid 4.5 rating! I don't usually enjoy sports themes but this manages to focus on the relationship and mention the hockey in a minimal amount to tell the story. I loved both of the male characters and loved how their stories unfolded together. They were kids who grew up together, were besties and finally now sparks fly despite one of them having homophobic, cold parents and a future career that he fears will be at risk if he chooses to come out and the other who doesn't have to worry about his family or career choices but still struggles with the idea of coming out because he always thought he was straight til now and it's a lot to take in plus he doesn't want to get rejected if his friend decides to stay in the closet. It had me on a will they or won't they ride that I just had to find out what happened and so I didn't want to stop listening. Also want to point out for any first time m/m readers, this is a good book to start off with. Yes there is sex of course but it's not hardcore raunchy stuff given that it was new experience for the 1 lead character and they really love each other. This book has all the feels 😍

Both narrators do a great job and were a good pick their voices match the young jock personas perfectly.
