Rookie Attraction by Ava Olsen (NY Rush Book 1)


Ava Olsen's next series takes us to the NHL! 

From the blurb:

Selwin
I planned on coming out in the NHL. I didn't plan on having to switch teams to survive it.

With the New York Rush, keeping my head down should be safe—until rookie defenseman Finn Baran shows up. Finn is talented, determined, impossible to ignore. Every late-night conversation and every stolen glance on the ice pulls me closer to a line I swore I'd never cross.

Falling for my teammate was never part of the playbook.

Finn
After going undrafted, I thought my hockey dreams were over. A last-minute tryout with the Rush gives me one more chance—and puts me face-to-face with Selwin Kirkland, a player I've admired for years.

Our chemistry is undeniable.
The timing couldn't be worse.

As friendship turns into something more, we have to decide if protecting our careers is worth losing the one thing we never saw coming: each other.

Rookie Attraction is a bi awakening, friends-to-lovers, hurt/comfort MM hockey romance. Book 1 of the NY Rush series—where love doesn't play by hockey rules.


Heather's Review:

This has all the great elements of a friends to lovers story with a true bi-awakening...  Finn is so confused by what he's feeling and how he's reacting... he's hero worshipped Selwin for years, but is there something more than a fanboy crush?    This book builds their relationship in a lovely way that gives both men a little time to reflect on who they are and what they want... it's not without drama of course - it's the sports world...

While the hockey is secondary to the love story, you can tell Ava Olsen is Canadian and has hockey running through her veins.  This book sets up the reader to want to see more NY Rush and builds a strong foundation of found family!

I can't wait to see where this series goes and what other teams we may see in future hockey expansion from Ava Olsen.
