A veteran hockey player and a rookie can't get away from each other—or their own desires—in this sexy, heartfelt opposites-attract hockey romance.
Olly Järvinen has a long way to go. He's got a fresh start playing for a new team, but getting his hockey career back on track is going to take more than a change of scenery. He's got to shut his past out and focus. On the game, not on his rookie roommate and his annoyingly sunny disposition—and annoyingly distracting good looks.
All Benji Bryzinski ever wanted was to play in the big leagues, and he's not going to waste one single second of his rookie season. Yoga, kale smoothies and guided meditation help keep his head in the game. But his roommate keeps knocking him off track. Maybe it's just that Olly is a grumpy bastard. Or maybe it's something else, something Benji doesn't have a name for yet.
Olly and Benji spend all their time together—on the ice, in the locker room, in their apartment—and ignoring their unspoken feelings isn't making them go away. Acting on attraction is one thing, but turning a season's fling into forever would mean facing the past—and redefining the future.

DEBUT Two hockey players find connection and love where they least expect it in Nary's debut romance. Olly J�rvinen, transferred to a new team and struggling on and off the ice, is a veteran player with a big secret. Fighting panic attacks and self-loathing, he tries to find a place on his team and to come to terms with his traumatic past. Benji Bryzinski is a rookie with a heart of gold from a lower-class background. He'll do anything from yoga to therapy to tame his anger issues, earn his place in the league, and make himself indispensable to his teammates, including Olly. When Olly and Benji are put together as roommates, they must overcome anxiety and self-imposed isolation to heal and grow together. VERDICT The perfect novel for a hockey fan who loves M/M romance; it's full of hockey-culture details, as well as exciting action on the ice, and Nary excels at describing the bodily experiences of athletics, anxiety, and desire. All of these elements, combined with slow-burning chemistry between the two leads, build to a satisfying and well-earned happy ending.--Sierra Wilson
