This was painful! Not only was this painfully boring but it also has a wholly unlikeable character in Fabian.

I don’t really understand why this series is so beloved maybe it because when it was published the MM pickings were so marginal…

4.5 stars
The plot is 5 stars
The audio is 2 stars and I'm being nice
Tough Guy is very different MM hockey romance but in a good way.
Ryan is a professional hockey player but he's so far from your typical athletic hero. He has self esteem issues and anxiety and he's not good with crowds, meeting and talking to new people.
Fabian is a musician, he loves wearing make up and he's definitely not into hockey.
It was so refreshing reading about different kinds of gay heroes. I don't even remember reading a book about a guy man wearing makeup .
