Rylan (Seattle Sasquatch Hockey 1) by Harper Robson


Rylan is the first book in a new series by Harper Robson and introduces us to a new hockey team and lots of potential romances... beginning with teammates Rylan and Jamie...


From the blurb:

Rylan


I've spent my entire hockey career hiding who I really am. Between trying to lead my struggling team, dealing with an alcoholic father, and the weight of my brother's legacy on my shoulders, I barely know who I am anymore. Then Jamie Pirelli joins the team—young, talented, and openly queer. He sees right through my walls. And then one hot night changes everything.

Jamie

After a disastrous start to my NHL career in Florida, Seattle is my last shot to prove I'm more than just the first openly bisexual player in the League. I cannot afford any more scandals, but the chemistry between me and my deep-in-the-closet team captain is impossible to ignore.

A steamy hockey romance between the team captain with loads of baggage and the sunshiny superstar struggling to be taken seriously. An opposites-attract, hurt-comfort, secret relationship featuring a wounded control freak with a tragic backstory and a free spirit with a tarnished reputation.

Seattle Sasquatch Hockey Book One.


Heather's Review:

This book explores the instant attraction between Rylan and Jamie, and also the dynamic of supportive versus homophobic team environments.  I really enjoyed watching Jamie help Rylan break down many of his walls and understand where his need for control comes from, and also deal with some of his own deep seated fears.  I love that most of the angst isn't the relationship itself, but focuses on the characters backstories and outside influences.   This book has good hockey flow and good off ice team interactions as well.  

I'm looking forward to seeing the other relationships on this team evolve in future installments.
