Where is this even going? I’m so intrigued

Save me from the HR-brain-rot/slump, enemies to lovers hockey book, save me

Nothing has happened. They have shared one tiny kiss, have shared zero secrets about their past (both men are so-tight lipped and full of secrets), but when they walk in the street their hands brush with every stride and I am UTTERLY CHARMED

Yearly re read to check-in with Nate and Eric

Dude sitting next to me on the train asked “what are you reading”?

Me: “it’s a book about… hockey” 🫠

Chat, do you own up when you’re reading queer smut in public?

Not me tearing up at the emergency landing scene, I know they all make it but it’s so terrifying

Also knowing what Ilya is texting Shane in that moment, ughhhh

“Maybe he should ask Ilya for Shane Hollander’s number. Shane was a fucking babe”

HAHAHAHA we were robbed of this scene

Going from Heart of Stone to this filth (complimentary) is the duality of women

The scene where Henry is listening to Theo’s heartbeat, which “he could pick out of a crowd”, and is content just sitting there too, listening to his breathing

Mind you they haven’t EVEN KISSED YET

This is so SOFT and quietly sweet and I’m having the best time

This motherfucker did WHAT?! Am I reading the right genre? How can this have a HEA after what just happened? That’s unforgivable and I almost threw my kindle across the room, how do I continue reading this

“You need to start liking a boy who likes boys to distract yourself. That’s what you need to do. Neil’s nice. Jason is nice. Jude is nice but he’s obsessed with Romeo”

NAAWWWWW Romeo Falling references? They go to the same school? 🥹🥹🥹

This book is REALLY working for me. Jesse writing yearning is my favourite Jesse.

I’m so sad 😭

Really liking the writing in this. Reminds me of Taylor Fitzpatrick’s which is all I ever want in a hockey book.

Also I’m a sucker for books with news articles and message boards, it feeds my need for TEA

Forever chasing the high of a good hockey romance, please let this one be good

LOOOOL the scene where a dildo flies out the backpack and across a conveyor belt at an airport? That happened to me once actually (my best friend put it there as a joke). Great times.

Cmon Scarlett, please make it hurt

I’m in the mood for angsty musicians it seems

Does Riley grow a spine in this book? I’m so sad watching him be pushed around constantly

Can already tell this book is going to ruin my entire week

Larkin’s mom is such a fucking bitch. I am speechless. Loving the book so far but she’s making me want to throw my kindle across the room

Evie has Ira’s picture as his phone background awwww

It’s here! Finally! I’m going to try to read it slowly and savour it 😭

I’m loving this. But are Sebastian and Tommy a thing?

I’m having such a good time with these two, really don’t want this book to end

Jack and Ethan are back! And I’m already really stressed! I have no idea what’s going on (and loving it)

This book is so stressful I keep jumping a few pages ahead to skim and see if the horrors have stopped (usually they haven’t)

Never hated a character as much as I hate Mikey

I’m ready, let’s do this

This is so unexpectedly funny! Having the best time reading this so far *kicks her feet*

After four Hazard and Somerset books back to back, I’m in need of some fluff - I have high hopes for this one
