Best friends. Teammates. Totally straight… until a kiss changes everything.

Nate (Holky) Holcomb

I’ve always been straight. No confusion, no questions—just a long list of hookups with women and a reputation for being the life of the party. But when Mad Dog moves into my house for a while, things start to get weird. Not in a bad way. Just in a “why do I want to kiss him” kind of way.

We’re teammates. We’re roommates. We’re definitely not boyfriends.

At least, that’s what I keep telling myself.

Chuck (Mad Dog) Madison

Getting called up to the Buffalo Warriors should’ve been the biggest moment of my career. Instead, I’m living in Holky’s guest room and trying not to lose my mind. He’s hot, hilarious, and always in my space—and I can’t stop thinking about him.

Which is extremely confusing. Because I’m straight.

Aren’t I?

The line between friendship and something more keeps getting harder to see.

An unforgettable game of truth or dare changes everything. Now we don’t know how to stop.

Shift Change is the third standalone in the Buffalo Warriors Hockey series. This double bi-awakening romance features an epic first kiss, a wildly intense game of truth or dare, more feelings than you’ll know what to do with, and a found family of chaos gremlins—er, nosy teammates. Expect friends-to-lovers, high heat, memorable firsts, medium angst, and an extraordinary HEA that hits like a perfect slapshot to the feels.

I really enjoyed Nate and Chuck's story. Love and acceptance sometimes finds you in the last place you ever would have looked. I love that Ryan and Joshua gave a voice to the issue of how anxiety from childhood trauma can really grip on to a person for life and make relationships of any kind tough. Can't wait for more stories from the Buffalo Warriors.

Love can help tackle the tough stuff.

I think I would have loved the book more. Narrators matter. I felt like the narrator was just reading the book. He always sounds like a surfer boy who just had a triple espresso. It left me disconnected to the characters. It’s like the heart of characters was just out of reach. I could tell that it was an amazing love story. I think dual narration and a different narrator for this story would have made all the difference. It didn’t bring the story to life . It was simply reading.

Great Story
