About this ebook

 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, wise-cracking, 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 eighteen? 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.

This is my first read in M/M genre and I fell in love. I loved both the main characters so much. I'm shocked I enjoyed it as much as I had, but I did. And, am so glad I tried something new. It kept my attention from the start to finish. And, wrapped up beautifully. Even with the perfect ending, I didn't want it to be over. I wanted these characters story to go on forever. Such a great-hot-steamy-romance read with an enjoyable plot and lovable characters.

I absolutely love this book! I've lost track of how many times I've read it but it's my go to book when I can't find anything new that interests me or just need a fun and sweet love story to brighten my day. Wes is adorable and I love how much he loves Jaime. Jaime is sweet and it's wonderful to see how he rolls with his newfound feelings instead of fighting it at every turn. So many m/m books have so much angst that it gets obnoxious. Best m/m book I've read. Hands down.

I loved Wes and Jamie’s story! I was hooked right from the start and read it in one sitting. The progression of Wes and Jamie’s relationship from friends to lovers felt natural and believable. The humor, banter, chemistry, and steamy scenes were simply *chef’s kiss*. If you love audiobooks, you should definitely check this one out because it’s pure ear candy. The narration with Jacob Morgan (Zachary Webber) as Wes and Teddy Hamilton as Jamie is fantastic. Highly recommended in every format.
