Description

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, skinny-dipping, shenanigans in an SUV and proof that coming out to your family on social media is a dicey proposition.

"I read HIM in one sitting—it's so, so good! If I had to pick two authors who I'd have team up, it would be Bowen and Kennedy"

— #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover

    This book was really boring and gross. Wes is to clingy and their relationship is super cringe. Half of the story is about them having sex. Not surprised Hoover is a fan of this book, because her books are bad as well. The fan base are high schoolers cuz this book isn’t the best.
  • Great book

    I never read, I picked this book up and couldn’t put it down. I needed to keep reading to find out what happened next. Now I need to read the next book in the series.

    Even when the story had some stops pulled out to create that tension every good book has, I held my joy close. I can say this book brought joyful feelings and many happy reading squeals!! Highly recommend for those who enjoy an open mind.

    Honestly, my hopes weren’t super high for this book. LGBTQ romances aren’t always done well. This one was complex and interesting enough to keep my interest, the characters are realistic, and the conflicts are relatable and genuine. I enjoyed this book far more than I expected, and I’d recommend it for sure.
  • Great book, even if you don’t know much about hockey

    Based on descriptions for the next books in the series, I figured out how the book would likely end. Even with that, I still thoroughly enjoyed the book. The sexy scenes fit in well with the overall story. Don’t hesitate to give this book a chance.
