Until they meet during a hockey championship and rekindle their friendship and it leads to even more than friendship. Then their last summer there something happened and they haven’t spoken since. Him follows the story of Jamie Canning and Ryan Wesley, they used to be best friends and spend each year 6 week together on an elite hockey camp. But mostly I just wanted more of those moment were I could feel how much these two cared about each other as a person. Sadly I feel like it fell victim to high expectations and my reading mood being more in the mood for a slow burn MM romance than a fast burn one focused on the heat. I even planned for it to be my first MM romance book at some point, but that didn’t work out.

I heard so many good things about Him that I knew I had to read it. Warning: contains sexual situations, hotties on hockey skates, skinnydipping, shenanigans in an SUV and proof that coming out to your family on social media is a dicey proposition.

Jamie has waited a long time for answers, but walks away with only more questions-Ĭan one night of sex ruin a friendship? If not, how about six more weeks of it? When Wesley turns up to coach alongside Jamie for one more hot summer at camp, Jamie has a few things to discover about his old friend…and a big one to learn about himself. But all it takes is one look at his longtime crush, and the ache is stronger than ever. Now, with their college teams set to face off at the national championship, he’ll finally get a chance to apologize. Ryan Wesley’s biggest regret is coaxing his very straight friend into a bet that pushed the boundaries of their relationship.

So what if things got a little weird on the last night of hockey camp the summer they were eighteen? It was just a little drunken foolishness. Four years ago, his tattooed, wise-cracking, rule-breaking roommate cut him off without an explanation. Jamie Canning has never been able to figure out how he lost his closest friend.
