| Love the Game Book 4 |
One goal to make a career.
One kiss to derail a life.
Marek Myers is an up-and-coming goalie, but he's also not out. At least, he wasn’t. Because one kiss with the wrong man slams Marek out of the closet and into the spotlight.
Determined to the make the best of a bad situation, Marek goes on the offensive, charming the media one interview at a time, happy to be the poster boy the media is after. Only, not everyone is pleased with the attention Marek is receiving, and he finds himself traded to a different team.
Separated from his home and his sister, Marek vows to handle the shots thrown at him. He throws himself into being the best goalie he can for the his new team, but no matter what he does, he can't earn the friendship of the hot and broody defenseman, Jay Brookbank.
One text message to turn it all upside down.
Marek might be out and proud, but Jay is not, and after seeing the fallout from Marek's grand reveal, he doesn't want to be. Unfortunately, he still has needs and unfortunately, the faceless torso on the other end of the hookup app turns out to be none other than Marek Myers.
One hookup to change everything.
All Marek wants is someone to accept him for who he is, and Jay needs someone who can put up with his bullshit. The two of them are perfect for each other, but there's one big problem—Jay doesn’t like Marek. Maddeningly, he can’t stop thinking about him.
He doesn’t want to see Marek again, but he can't stay away.
He’s absolutely not falling for Marek, and he’s definitely not willing to risk it all for him.
Right?
RIGHT?!

My Review: 4/5 Stars
One night out changes everything for Marek. Outed against his will, he does his best to roll with this new reality of being in the media’s spotlight. Instead of trying to hide, he’ll fake it and embrace it. Perhaps being out will help those younger kids be comfortable with who they are as they aim to play professional sports. But playing nice with the media backfires when his hockey team trades him not long after. Moving to a new team from his sister, his only family, is hard. Especially when he struggles with change. But he’ll put a smile on his face and try his best. What he doesn’t expect is for his new teammate, Jay, to take an instant dislike to Marek. Marek can tell immediately that whatever beef Jay has with him started way before they met. So what is his deal? Marek is everything Jay fears. Coming out without consent and having the media in your face. It drives Jay crazy that Marek makes it look so easy. And he just can’t get over his grumpiness about it. But when these two find an alternative to deal with their tension, neither are prepared the chemistry that sparks. They are falling for one another hard but with Marek being out and Jay not, can they even hope to have a future? I am really enjoying this series so far! Marek and Jay were definitely out sunshine and grumpy couple. It took a bit for them to really give one another a chance, but once they did, they were quite sweet. Definitely looking forward to more from this series!
