Skating to Him: A Teammates to Lovers Hockey MM Romance (Desert Ice Hockey)
I’m skating to the NHL while he’s running from his past. When we collide, am I brave enough to take the shot? Tyler Hockey is my life. My ticket to the NHL is in sight, and I can’t afford distractions. Then Coach pairs me with Rowan, the new guy from Boston. He’s talented, sharp, and annoyingly irresistible. When he asks to hit the gay bar with me and my friends, I chalk it up to curiosity. But one too many drinks later, I spill my truth—and suddenly, he’s looking at me like he’s ready to cross a line he’s never touched before. I’ve been burned by straight guys before, and I’m not about to get hurt again. Rowan swears he’s different. Can I risk believing him? Rowan Leaving Boston was my escape—from my mom’s illness, from the pressure, from myself. But playing alongside Tyler changes everything. He’s not just the best defenseman I’ve ever met, he’s magnetic and so guarded I ache to know what’s underneath. I’ve never wanted a man before, but Tyler makes me question everything I knew about myself. I need him to see I’m not playing games. This is real. He’s real. And I won’t stop fighting until he believes it.

Ratings and reviews
<div>Tyler finds Rowan attractive. He knows he can’t do anything about it since he believes Rowan is straight. Rowan thinks he’s straight. Until Tyler makes him see things differently. Will being together affect their game play? I love that they call each other “Baby” and “Babe”. That first night at the bar was not what I expected at all. I couldn’t believe how wasted Tyler got. It’s cute how jealous Rowan got that Tyler stayed at the bar. I like how helpful Teddy is to Rowan. I was so excited when coach put Tyler and Rowan in the same hotel room. That hotel scene was epic. The ending was just what I needed. </div>
