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.

twirling my hair & kicking my feet
this was really sweet & had a lot of momentum, i ripped through it. there were a lot of eye-roll parts of it as far as story & dialogue & the vocabulary used goes, but if u don't think about it too much & let it be a silly little romance book its a really enjoyable read
edit: also ! there's no hate crimes or homophobia in this which is just Nice. sometimes gay media doesn't have to be about having an awful time bc ur gay !
So cute!!!! I love how this author writes opposite MC's. like both Casey and Landon had such different personalities, vibes, and physical appearance. But when they came together it was chefs kiss.
Casey loved people, always chatty? And Landon was quiet and didn't like to be touched. But even though Casey was a touchy feely guy, he immediately saw that unspoken boundary. The two MC's immediately just GOT the other person. I loved it.
I loved that it was spicy without actual full on sex. There was like all the foreplay and various jobs, but they found ways to be sexual and intimate without the actual penetration of it. And Casey was a reformed bi player versus Landon being a virgin unsure of his sexuality label. They just kind of went with what felt right and I loved that
Cute winter hockey holiday sports MM romance
