Synopsis

Childhood crushes reunite in this spicy friends-to-lovers hockey romance.

Daniel “Bellzie” Bellamy should be on top of the world—a Stanley Cup is the perfect topper to his fourteen-year NHL career. But despite the post-win high, something’s missing. When the chance to play for his hometown team, the Miami Thunder, comes along, he’s open to it. And when he runs into an old friend from his past soon after he makes the move, he wonders if it might be kismet.

Micah Kelly never thought he’d see his childhood crush—and first kiss—again. Danny Bellamy moved on to bigger and better things when they were teenagers, and the idea that Micah’s relationship with the professional hockey player could be anything more than one-sided Instagram thirst seems too good to be true.

Maybe too good to be true is the new reality, though. As the season goes on, Micah teaches Daniel to surf, and Daniel introduces Micah to his lovable pack of rescue dogs and the world of being a hockey boyfriend. Life is good. But when things on the ice don’t go as planned, they’ll have to decide if their rediscovered romance is built to last.

Reviews

A hockey romance that isn't romantic and isn't about hockey—1½ stars Em Wittmann's trenchant review absolutely nails why this book is a flop, and I won't repeat her excellent points about the complete lack of conflict here. She could also have added the continuity problems due to the dual authorship......more

Goodreads review by Mariah

ARC provided by the publisher via NetGalley. 2.5 stars I had fun with this one. Both MCs were extremely likeable and so easy to root for. Danny and Micah were childhood best friends who find eachother again years and years after their paths first diverged. This was a sweet friends to lovers romance sure......more
