From the blurb:
The last thing Rafael Moon needs is to fall in love with another teammate ...
Following a painful breakup, Rafe is looking forward to a fresh start in Boston, and he’s thrilled when he immediately clicks with his new D-partner, Mickey Krause.
Mickey’s smart, talented, and loves telling Rafe what to do. It feels good to have some structure and, finally, Rafe’s life is coming together on and off the ice.
As their friendship deepens, Rafe slowly realizes he’s falling for Mickey. Too bad he’s been down this road before. He knows exactly how badly it could end.
Roles are defined and tension smolders, but neither of them can stop their out-of-control feelings.
An independent perfectionist, Mickey’s had a rough season so far and he’s immediately smitten with Rafe’s sweet, earnest vibes.
Finally having someone who works well with him in the bedroom and beside him in a game has him hitting all his goals.

Lesetiger's review:
“Slew Foot” is the third volume in the “Scoring Chances” series. This volume can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the books in order, as this allows you to get to know the team members a little better and understand the team dynamics more fully.
This time, the focus is on Mickey, a young defender from Germany. He is ambitious, works hard, and I liked him from the start. He is very even-tempered and rather quiet, and he gets along well with his teammates. I thought it was very cute that the author incorporated a few German words into the story. Mickey is still struggling with his position on the team and finding a partner who clicks with him on the ice. And when Rafe, an experienced defenseman, joins the team, there may be a chance that these two will work well together on the ice and secure the Harriers' defense.
Rafe left his previous team because of a failed relationship with his ex to make a fresh start with the Harriers. But one thing is clear: from now on, teammates are off limits for him, he has sworn to himself. When Mickey and Rafe meet for the first time, Mickey suddenly finds himself struggling with Rafe's charisma in the locker room, because Rafe is damn hot in Mickey's eyes.
Rafe seems a little clumsy, but he's absolutely adorable. You just have to like these two! The love story is slow burn. The two get along well, but Mickey tries to hide his crush on Rafe. At first, they are friends and roommates, and even though things progress slowly between them, it was a pleasure to listen to the audiobook. There is some drama, and it was nice to see how Rafe supports Mickey and is there for him. And somehow, everyone else noticed what was going on between the two of them before they did.
I found the story interesting and entertaining, there is a slight fetish, great characters, and great chemistry between the protagonists. I was happy to see some of the secondary characters again.
“Slew Foot” is wonderfully written and offers a heartwarming and lighthearted love story with a couple who master unforeseen challenges brilliantly.
As always, James Edward Jones did a great job narrating this audiobook. He gave the protagonists fitting voices and also conveyed the emotions superbly, and I was able to follow him well.
