Bilson
The idea of moving away from Seattle was a joke at first.
I have too many failed relationships here. Too much baggage.
So when I find myself signing with Nashville and leaving everything behind, I’m hopeful a new start will cure me of my attachment problems.
I fall fast and hard, and I’m quickly realizing it’s not so easy to escape my emotional damage. That follows no matter where I go.
When my new teammate, rookie goalie Miles Olsen, attaches himself to my side, the media are excited to exploit our bromance. Little do they know, he’s doing me a favor by keeping me away from making mistakes with women.
That’s the deal we made at the beginning of the season, but as time goes on, and we’re both going through a dry spell, Miles suggests a different arrangement. One I’ve never contemplated. One I shouldn’t consider.
One I can’t stop thinking about.
Miles
My first day as starting goalie for Tennessee is made mildly more terrifying by coming face to face with NHL veteran Cody Bilson. Hero worship? Me? Never!
He reminds me of my old frat buddies; loyal, kind, easy to trade banter with. But my dude is lost and trying to find himself again--without getting married this time.
I want to help him, and while my suggestion might not be conventional, it sure as hell is effective. The only way to make sure he doesn't marry a woman again? Blow off steam with a man instead.
We're both straight, we're both single, and we're both down for a good time.
After all, what are teammates for?

My Review: 5/5 Stars
Bilson’s turn! And if you are familiar with the Frat Boys series, then you will remember Miles as well! As we’ve seen in previous books, Bilson has a bit of a problem when it comes to love. And it’s currently at four divorces. He takes a trade to Nashville for a clean slate and is determined for things to be different. And it all starts with the rookie, Miles. They strike up an easy friendship. The more they learn about the other the closer they get. Until one day, they try something new. For both of them. One hook up starts the beginning of many when they realize the chemistry between them is way more than friends. And as they explore this side of their sexuality that they never really thought too hard about or realized about themselves, the more they come to learn about themselves. It comes with some fears of course. For Bilson, it’s the fear of repeating past mistakes and ruining something that for the first time actually feels more real and right than any of his past relationships. And for Miles, it’s the fear of losing his family if they don’t accept him. I loved these two. Their relationship really is based on being friends first before it slowly shifts to something more. They are both fun and hilarious and just fit together so well. They support one another and it is just so sweet. And of course, you gotta love the many cameos of the others in the Collective! Another great addition and I am hoping we still have more yet to come!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
