Blaine a player for the Chicago Thunder wakes one morning to a bit of a scandal after enjoying an evening with multiple puck bunnies and is told to keep his head down and to focus on hockey as the trade deadline looms, so planning to do just that it is a tad inconvenient when he goes to play the next match and spots Alex in the crowd and is instantly infatuated with the blonde haired blue eyed hottie. Alex is a lifelong fan of the Thunder thanks to his grandpa and cannot believe the seats his best friend snagged as a birthday present for him, he also can't believe it when at the local bar after the match Blaine makes a beeline for him and propositions Alex and he refuses. To say Blaine is shocked by this development is an understatement but Alex has his reasons and they go their separate ways but thanks to a teammate it isn't long before these two are back in each other's orbit and Blaine decides pursuing Alex is the only way forward. 

As a vibes reader, I have to say the vibes here were on point. I had a great time with this, I enjoyed all of the characters, our MCs and the side characters all had me smiling and interested in them and I'm looking forward to getting to their stories throughout this series. This was a sweet, heartwarming read that had lots of funny moments, great banter, found family, and delicious spice. I loved how much of a simp Blaine became for Alex and how he never wavered once he decided Alex was it. Usually, I like a bit of angst or conflict in a story, but I actually enjoyed that this didn't have that. It was just a happy fun time and made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Does this break the mould story wise? No. Does it have very common tropes, etc? Yes. But considering this is the authors debut, I'm impressed, and I really enjoyed it. Alexander Cendese & Liam Dicosimo narrate, and as always, I loved their performances. I highly recommend giving this a go. 🌶🌶
