Publisher Description
New York Admirals captain Scott Hunter takes his pregame rituals very seriously. In this case, it's not just a lucky smoothie he's craving—it's the man who made it.
Pro hockey star Scott Hunter knows a good thing when he sees it. So, when a smoothie made by juice bar barista Kip Grady precedes Scott breaking his on-ice slump, he's desperate to recreate the magic . . . and to get to know the sexy, funny guy behind the counter.
Kip knew there was more to Scott's frequent visits than blended fruit, but he never let himself imagine being invited back to Scott's penthouse. Or kissed with reckless abandon, never mind touched everywhere all at once. When it happens, it's red-hot, incredible, and frequent, but also only on Scott's terms and always behind his closed apartment doors.
Scott needs Kip in his life, but with playoff season approaching, the spotlight on him is suddenly brighter than ever. He can't afford to do anything that might derail his career . . . like introducing the world to his boyfriend. Kip is ready to go all-in with Scott—but how much longer will he have to remain a secret?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Even if you’ve never watched sports in your life, you’ll be swept away by this surprisingly sweet romance between a smoothie maker and a hockey star. It all starts when pro athlete Scott orders a drink from Kip before a game, and they form an instant connection. With undeniable chemistry smouldering between them, Scott and Kip soon tumble into a hot, steamy, deliriously romantic new relationship. The only problem? Scott is still in the closet. Rachel Reid’s debut practically hums with the ecstatic bliss of falling in love. She nails the banter, the sex (of which there’s plenty), and even the endearing awkwardness. You’ll feel a lump in your throat when real life finally catches up with them, with Scott afraid to come out (even though his hockey teammates are a bunch of sweethearts) and Kip realizing he just isn’t comfortable living in secret. Narrator Tor Thom’s expressive voice draws out the sweetness and sensuality of this gorgeously yearning listen.
Customer Reviews
Where is Kip from, the moon ?
I am a simple man, I see the gay hockey book, I put the gay hockey book into my veins IV style. Actual book itself is solid enough- but I DNF'd the audiobook because the choice the narrator has made for Kip's....voice? Accent?? is so completely g*dd*mn bonkers. He sounds like a cartoon bear, if we were meant to understand by voice alone that this particular cartoon bear is not to be trusted with sharp objects. Very challenging wank.
