What happened in high school stayed in high school. Until now.Five years ago, Michael Graham betrayed the only person who ever really knew him. Since then, he’s made an art of hiding his sexual preference from everyone. Including himself.So it’s a shock when his past strolls right into the Harkness College locker room, sporting a bag of hockey gear and the same slow smile that had always rendered Graham defenseless. For Graham, there is only one possible reaction: total, debilitating panic. With one loose word, the team’s new left wing could destroy Graham’s life as he knows it.John Rikker is stuck being the new guy. Again. And it’s worse than usual, because the media has latched onto the story of the only “out” player in Division One hockey. As the satellite trucks line the sidewalk outside the rink, his new teammates are not amused.And one player in particular looks sick every time he enters the room.Rikker didn’t exactly expect a warm welcome from Graham. But the guy won’t even meet his eyes. From the looks of it, his former… best friend / boyfriend / whatever isn’t doing so well. He drinks too much and can’t focus during practice.Either the two loneliest guys on the team will self destruct from all the new pressures in their lives, or they can navigate the pain to find a way back to one another. To say that it won’t be easy is the Understatement of the Year.Warning: unlike the other books in this series, this heartbreaking love story is about two guys. Contains sexual situations, dance music, snarky t-shirts and a poker-playing grandmother.

Including himself.So it’s a shock when his past strolls right into the Harkness College locker room, sporting a bag of hockey gear and the sa...
Rikker is out, Graham isn't. In the world of sport it is not easy, that's why Graham is a jerk most of the times, in public. Honestly, I dislike mm books where one of the guys is the little dirty secret of the other. Thank God it is not a little dirty sex secret (where the closeted is happy and nice...
La historia explota uno de los clichés más básicos del MM romance: un amor/lujuria entre dos amigos bisexuales, uno que tira más para lo hetero (o de eso se quiere convencer) y el otro que vive sus preferencias sexuales más abiertamente, sin prejuicios. Los lectores asiduos al género sabrán ya que e...
Michael Graham and John Rikker were best friends growing up, spending all their time together, playing hockey either on the ice or on a gaming console in Graham's den. Until the summer when it was quite clear that their friendship was turning into something else and they couldn't keep their hands of...
And a lot of Hockey. I liked this story so much. The pacing, how it evolved, the backstory. It had just enough drama to not be too sweet. The main couple had such good tension and also some old bitterness, but also sweetness. And some really good sense of humor - the gran was just brilliant. Ver...
