They don’t play for the same team. Or do they?
Jamie Canning has never been able to figure out how he lost his closest friend. Four years ago, his tattooed, wise-cracking, rule-breaking roommate cut him off without an explanation. So what if things got a little weird on the last night of hockey camp the summer they were eighteen? It was just a little drunken foolishness. Nobody died.
Ryan Wesley’s biggest regret is coaxing his very straight friend into a bet that pushed the boundaries of their relationship. Now, with their college teams set to face off at the national championship, he’ll finally get a chance to apologize. But all it takes is one look at his longtime crush, and the ache is stronger than ever.
Jamie has waited a long time for answers, but walks away with only more questions—can one night of sex ruin a friendship? If not, how about six more weeks of it? When Wesley turns up to coach alongside Jamie for one more hot summer at camp, Jamie has a few things to discover about his old friend... and a big one to learn about himself.
This book starts with Jamie and Ryan having to compete against each other for a championship before they graduate from college. They were best friends but something happened the summer before they start college and Wesley stopped talking to Canning.
On this tournament, Wes and Jamie reconnect and their story starts to develop. The reader learns why Wes stopped communicating with his best friend and slowly their relationship starts developing into something more.
I liked the story and the development of the characters but a lot of times there were some things that annoyed me and didn't let me enjoy the story. Also, although the book is told from both Jamie and Ryan's point of view, they are both told in first person and I lot of the time I got confused as to whom was I reading for.
The story continues with Us, but I think this book stands on its own and it is not necessary to read the other stories (unless you fell in love with this couple and want to continue their story).
