About this listen

They have nothing in common - so why does Ryan feel most like himself whenever he's with Fabian?  

Pro hockey star Ryan Price may be an enforcer, but off the ice he struggles with anxiety. Recently traded to the Toronto Guardians, he's determined to make a fresh start in the city's dynamic LGBTQ Village. The last thing he expects to stumble upon in his new neighborhood is a blast from his past in the fabulous form of Fabian Salah.  

Aspiring musician Fabian loathes hockey. But that doesn't stop him from being attracted to a certain burly, ginger-bearded defenseman. He hasn't forgotten the kiss they almost shared back in high school, and it's clear the chemistry between them has only intensified.  

Fabian is more than happy to be Ryan's guide to the gay scene in Toronto. Between dance clubs and art exhibits - and the most amazing sex - Ryan's starting to feel something he hasn't experienced in a long time: joy. But playing the role of the heavy on the ice has taken its toll on his body and mind, and a future with Fabian may mean hanging up his skates for good.

The way all these stories weave together with such strong affection and details, is just stunning! Reading about love in a real and emotional way is incredible! Wanting to just smoosh Ryan’s face and tell him he’s loved while showering Fabian in the praise his talent deserves! Perfect! Smashed this out in one day while working at my two jobs lol

Adored this!

The story wasn’t bad but it did feel a bit rushed in places. I’d say it’s worth the read though, especially if you’ve read the other books in this series.

3.5⭐️

I really loved this. Combination between confident effeminate man and big, anxious teddy bear was lovely to hear about. I look forward to seeing these two brought to life in the series.

Nice mental health awareness
