What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Friends-only is an impossible rule to follow in this forbidden-love, ice-hockey romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely. The first book in the Love and Hockey series.
A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country…
Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing.
Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me.
In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also – wait for it – my brand new roommate.
A Friends-only rule seems like a good idea, but it turns out to be far from easy. Wes is flirty, generous and looks at me like I’m the only one.
How can I avoid falling for my brother’s teammate when he comes to my door and tells me exactly how he’d like to break our rules?
Every single one.
Tropes:
- ice hockey romance
- roommates-to-lovers
- forbidden love
- brother's teammate
- lovers-to-friends-to-lovers
- one night stand
