Yessss, Felix’s story! I couldn’t wait to start this one and I definitely wasn’t disappointed.
Felix Becker is a pro hockey player trying to get used to a new team, a new city, a new label for his sexuality and a new apartment. It’s all a little overwhelming and has his anxiety on edge, especially right before he’s set to take the ice. His new next door neighbor, Will Knight, is the balm to his anxiety that he never knew he needed but Will has his own struggles and insecurities. Will is an author working against a deadline for his last book in a trilogy while he has writer’s block, has isolated himself from most of the world and is dealing with a ton of family drama.
These two are friends first, but the chemistry between them is undeniable. While Felix is ready to go all in with Will, Will feels like he’s not enough for Felix and fights it for a long time. An injury finally brings them together and once they’re in it, they’re inseparable - they support each other, do sweet things for each other and help each other see that they deserve to have happiness of their own. They’re so much fun to read and there’s so much heart to their relationship.
The epilogue with Felix, Will, Rowan and Theo was the perfect way to wrap this story up/ I’m so sad to see the Delay of Game series come to an end, but I’m excited to see what comes out from Hannah Henry next!

Home Ice Disadvantage by Hannah Henry
Book 6, Delay of Game series
“I’m not going to leave,” Will promised. “I want to stop pretending that we aren’t inevitable.”
“Inevitable,” Felix said, the word feeling big and obvious. Of course, they were inevitable."
I make no secret of the fact that I adore this series and that Hannah Henry is one of my favourite authors. In my opinion this series just gets better and better and I'm sad it's done, but I heard from a little birdie there's a spin-off (non-NHL) series in the works! Her writing is *chef's kiss*
Will and Felix were so sweet and a bit damaged. I loved how they helped each other with their anxiety and how Will needing Felix soothed him.

What a way to end the series. I have loved all the guys here and Felix and Will's story just made the perfect ending.

Felix Becker & Will Knight. Hockey player x neighbor (who is an author). CUTE! I love this slow and shy dynamic the guys have. There’s like a half point breakup and it made me emotional. I relate to Will’s character though. And I love how Felix is willing to wait for him and ugh they’re so good together
