Elmwood Stories Book 6: Puck Love by Lane Hayes

 

Elmwood Stories Book 6

Two rivals, one secret, and a shot at forever… 

Jake

Favorite things and peeps: hockey, family, friends.

Least favorite person in the entire history of the universe: Mason Trinsky.

I have my reasons, but since you’re curious, Trinsky is a showboat and a loudmouth. Sure, he’s a great athlete. Good for him. I accept that we have mutual friends, and I grudgingly accept that he’ll be a coach at Elmwood Junior Camp this summer—however, I plan to keep my distance.

Of course, some wise guy pairs us up for a camping expedition, and everything that can go wrong does go wrong.

Guess who I’m stuck with?

Trinsky

Favorite things and peeps: hockey, surfing, and my kid brother

Least favorite person in the entire history of the universe: Jake Milligan

Look, I might be in the minority, but if you ask me, Jake is a nitpicking diva who wants everything his way. I hope my NHL team crushes his, and this summer, I want my campers to out-prank his. Childish? Nah, it’s all in good fun.

Until it starts to feel…complicated. I shouldn’t care if he’s happy, should I? I don’t want to be Jake’s friend. I don’t want to have feelings for him at all.

The only thing that matters is hockey. It's all about the puck. Not love.

Or is it?

Puck Love is an MM bisexual, small-town romance featuring hockey’s hottest rivals, a hiking trip gone wrong, and a shot at forever…

My Review: 5/5 Stars

I love a good enemies to lovers, and Jake and Mason definitely hit that vibe. On and off the ice, Mason loves to rile Jake up in any way possible. While Mason can be more loose and goody, to him, Jake is a lot more uptight. And the public loves the rivalry between them. Though Mason may have pushed the limits a bit in his latest mouthing off that leads the two of them to spend a chunk of the summer together and making friends just a bit. And though neither are exactly happy about it, they won’t back down either or make excuses. But both are very surprised when they start to realize that there is more to the other than they thought and they may not actually know one another that well. Add in the fact that their heated rivalry actually translates to some pretty hot chemistry between them. Next thing you know, they are hooking up and neither really want to stop. Or acknowledge just yet it could be more. I really loved Jake and Mason! Their banter was a ton of fun and their chemistry was awesome. I also loved how they really starting really seeing who each other were. Rather than just the surface stuff. And of course, I loved being back in Elmwood and seeing so many favorite characters. This was probably my favorite of the series and you definitely don’t want to miss this one!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
