Hockey Guys #1
Hudson & Gavin
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
How angsty and how perfect! Hudson Newgate and Gavin Gillis are both new guys. Both are new to the Brooklyn Bruisers hockey team, Hudson as a defense skater and Gavin as the team’s new athletic trainer. They met in a bar, had a lustful moment and thought that was it. But then next day, they met again, this time in their professional work place and surprise! They’re both new employees of the hockey team!
Both had their issues. Hudson was on his fourth trade in five years. He was yearning for stability, he wanted to stay put for a long time. So he had no time for a relation because he needed to impress his new team and stay here. He was also having problems accepting his sexuality. His father, a former NHL legend, is also his agent, and he had a full agenda for his son to improve his game. He was constantly calling and messaging, very intruding. I couldn’t wait for Hudson to get tired of his father’s antics and fire him!
Gavin is a widower with a seven-year-old daughter, Jordyn. He’s just moved from New Hampshire, looking for a good job and better conditions to raise his little girl. You could say he was escaping a very intrusive and obnoxious monster-in-law, Jordyn’s grandmother, who had clear and unflattering views of Gavin’s parenting. All her badgering made Gavin question his choices. I felt for the grandmother who missed her grandchild but she was clearly doing it wrong! You could tell Jordyn was a happy child, happy to sing Frozen songs with her aunt and go to hockey games with her dad.
I had a great time reading this book. I loved Gavin, loved his punk-rock sister Reggie, loved feisty little Jordyn and felt for Hudson and his yearning for stability. Their love story was fragmented, Gavin was afraid to love and lose again, Hudson was afraid to lose focus. And yet, when they were together and in sync they were stronger.
The story was phenomenal, great pace, great characters, yummy steamy scenes and an adorable child who stole everyone’s hearts, starting with Hudson. I loved that when Hudson babysat Jordyn, she was the one calling the shots! He had to take training in saying no to a child. Super entertaining and riveting!
