They don't play for the same team. Or do they?

Jamie Canning has never been able to figure out how he lost his closest friend. Four years ago, his tattooed, wisecracking, rule-breaking roommate cut him off without an explanation. So what if things got a little weird on the last night of hockey camp the summer they were 18? It was just a little drunken foolishness. Nobody died.

Ryan Wesley's biggest regret is coaxing his very straight friend into a bet that pushed the boundaries of their relationship. Now, with their college teams set to face off at the national championship, he'll finally get a chance to apologize. But all it takes is one look at his longtime crush, and the ache is stronger than ever.

Jamie has waited a long time for answers but walks away with only more questions - can 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.

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.

Ryan broke my heart and Jamie warmed my heart. I had a stupid grin most of the time because these two and their shenanigans were funny. Jamie's confusion and finally acceptance towards his newly discovered sexuality was both funny (the way he tested his theory), beautiful and natural. I fell for Jamie hard.Ryan, trying to do the right thing by his friend, makes many mistakes. Geez, does Ryan make mistakes. What I enjoyed about this book is the level of communication between the characters. Once they get over the 4-year hiatus, they both decide not to hold anything in, and that open and honest dialog was wonderful. No unnecessary angst just to further a story. HIM, is just a beautifully funny and wonderful friend to lover romance!I loved the characters, steam, and humor throughout the book! HIM had a storyline that was both realistic and heartwarming. To put it simply, HIM was just a fantastic book, one I will recommend to all my friends that are fans of this genre.

4.0 out of 5 stars It felt alive, and the pace was perfect....
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2018

Holy mother of hockey, this book is hot. I just… Yeah. I can’t. Complete sentences too hard.

I’m not a hockey (or even a sports) person, so that is definitely not a prerequisite. It’s only the setting, and while the two MCs are athletic and focused on their careers, they aren’t entirely stereotypical jocks (even aside from their sexualities).

The connection between Wes and Jamie was so strong, and the chemistry was tangible. It felt alive, and the pace was perfect. It wasn’t a slow burn, but that would have felt unnecessarily angsty in this case. The connection was clearly there, so if Jamie had denied or fought against it for a long time, it would have been less believable. He still took some time to process what his feelings for Wes meant about his own sexuality, which is perfectly understandable, but meanwhile he was all about giving into that desire. Lucky for us.

I don’t think I’m going to try to write too much about the sex because I’m not sure I’d be coherent, but... yeah. Despite the fact that there was a LOT of it, it didn’t get boring — every single scene landed. And burned. This element of the book is a solid 5 stars; I can’t find any room for improvement.

The character development was good. Wes jumped off the page a little more than Jamie did for me, but both were written well. They were simultaneously endearing, sexy in different ways, and a little complex. But the occasional misogynist language was ridiculous, as neither character was actually a misogynist outside of those stupid references. Was this included to "reinforce" their sexualities? Eye roll.

Plot was quite good — not my biggest priority, but it was definitely good enough to do-no-harm and then some.

I’m picky, but I was annoyed with the writers’ tendency to explain the jokes. The humor was definitely there, but the writing didn’t give the reader enough credit for getting it without needing it spelled out. It took me out of the moment from time to time. But even with my quibbles, nothing will stop this book from being a re-read.

I don’t know how many people have told me I NEEDED to read this book and I’m very happy I decided to do a buddy read of it with my bestie Sabrina.
 
I love how the authors brought Jamie and Wes’ friendship back with the box that represented a big part of their bond from when they were younger. It was so innocent but represented what they meant to each other at the same time, how they took the time to send each other ridiculous and meaningful gifts.
 
Bi-awakening fueled by jealousy is my kryptonite and it was perfect in this book. I loved how Wes was slowly discovery that his feelings for his best friend never went away and how Jamie was slowly realizing that he wanted Wes in return. Their story was very sweet and exactly what I expected from a hockey romance.
 
I look forward to reading the second book Us, and seeing where their love story brings them next.
