"Rachel Reid's hockey heroes are sexy, hot, and passionate!"—#1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely

From the USA TODAY bestselling author of the Game Changers series comes a merry and bright hockey romance about finding your place, finding your people and finding your way back to the one you love the most.

For Landon Stackhouse, being called up from the Calgary farm team is exciting and terrifying, even if, as the backup goalie, he rarely leaves the bench. A quiet loner by nature, Landon knows he gives off strong “don’t talk to me” vibes. The only player who doesn’t seem to notice is Calgary’s superstar young winger, Casey Hicks.

Casey treats Landon like an old friend, even though they’ve only interacted briefly in the past. He’s endlessly charming and completely laid-back in a way that Landon absolutely can’t relate to. They couldn’t have less in common, but Landon needs a place to live that’s not a hotel room and Casey has just bought a massive house—and hates being alone.

As roommates, Casey refuses to be defeated by Landon’s one-word answers. As friends, Landon comes to notice a few things about Casey, like his wide, easy smile and sparkling green-blue eyes. Spending the holidays together only intensifies their bromance-turned-romance. But as the new year approaches, the countdown to the end of Landon’s time in Calgary is on.

Need more Reid? Don't miss The Shots You Take—a sweet and sexy hockey romance about two ex-best friends with benefits who are about to discover whether you can ever really have a second chance. Coming March 4, 2025!

When it's time for Landon to go back, they have to ask themselves what's next?

They're both NHL players, professional hockey players, so they should follow the stereotype of being big brutes. But they are absolutely adorable! At least one of them is. This one has a boyish personality and pretty much says whatever comes into his mind. He constantly gives in to cravings for Christmas Cap'n Crunch, McFlurries and lemonade. He gets drunk a lot and keeps letting it slip that he's crushing on the team's new goalie. And he's a bit of a fashion queen. The goalie isn't really adorable. In fact he's a bit of a wuss. But he falls in love with his adorable teammate and that makes him adorable too. The story also takes place in an adorable universe where not only NHL players are cool with their teammates being gay but everyone is cool with NHL players being gay. Even when two dudes are making out on a Las Vegas dance floor. Because two dudes making out on a Las Vegas dance floor is absolutely adorable! At least the author made it seem that way.

Oh my god I love these characters so much!

Story and narration was superb. Love the holiday tie in as it’s the season at the moment.

Love a good queer romance story

read this book first and then listened to it and I think it is definitely worth getting the audiobook. It's such a lovely story. I feel hard for both Casey and Landon and was so sad when the story was over (even with a HEA!) that I immediately listened to it again.

Firstly, there isn't a story by Rachel Reid that I won't devour the moment it becomes available. This was beautifully written and the MC both relatable and likable. This is the perfect example that intimacy in romance comes in all forms.
Secondly, the narrator did a very good job giving the multitude of characters their own accent/tone.
Well worth the credit and I know I'll be listening to it again in the future.

Beautiful Story

Cooper does such a great job. He’s so good at distinguishing between character voices. Landon was so stoic while Casey was more chaotic and fun and those traits came through in Cooper’s narration. I read the book when it was first released but just now got to listen to it. I don’t remember crying when I read it but I cried when listening. Cooper is so great at both happy and sad parts of the stories he does. Great story and great narration by Cooper.

Adored!

I don’t think I’ve ever blushed more than I did with this book 😂 Landon was so adorably awkward and I feel like his inner monologue is so real for so many people and Casey was just too cute. The opposites attract were perfect in this!! The timeline was perfect, the book was perfect. I swear Rachel Reid kills it every time and I’m obsessed. I know this is only a one book story but I would’ve read any book with these men in it. So cute and heart warming. I definitely sad and happy cried multiple times 🫶🏻 the narrator brought it to a full five stars for me.

The best story with a wonderful narrator

It’s difficult to express how much I love this book. It’s like the coziest warm hug of a story, and the characters are both angel sweethearts that you’re rooting for the entire time. The sex scenes are steamy and sweet and holy cow, Cooper North is just perfection narrating.

The sweetest slow burn

The narration was excellent. The story was pretty good. Maybe needed a little editing but overall sweet romance and some good spicy moments.
