I absolutely love that Rachel Reid put the issue of famous (sports) persons sexually assaulting other people into one of her books. In my memory there is only one other book doing that as well and interestingly enough it’s also a hockey book.
Their romance is also build on a long-ish friendship if you’re not counting the years they lost sight of each other and I’m a sucker for that.
Now don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed Rachel Reid’s latest installment of the Game Changer series and I will reread it but…
This week’s theme is about books that I loved but never reviewed. Sometimes I enjoy the simple act of reading without taking notes, sometimes I feel like I wouldn’t do the book any justice, and sometimes I plan an reviewing a book. Sometime. In the near future. Or distant future.
Just thinking about him and how he handles his aversion to touch makes me wanna abandon this review and reread the book instead.
Since we’re all staying home as much as possible anyway, what better way to spend my time than to reread my favourite books? And if you don’t know these books now is your chance to spend some quality time with queer quarantine reading.
Because seriously… This huge-rough-on-the-outside-but-so-very-gentle-on-the-inside-red-teddy-bear has taken my reader’s heart within a few sentences.
I was so very excited, because Ice Hockey, fake relationship turning real, and a female pairing – I mean, what’s not to love? Apparently a lot.
Enemies to lovers is so often done rather quickly and I’m left wondering where the actual being-enemies-part went.
Just a few pages in I was like “okay, I’m really liking this?!” and I had to try to make myself read not as fast so that my enjoyment could last longer. Spoiler: I did not manage to not inhale Off the Ice.
