I'm Your Guy by Sarina Bowen

5.0

Romance readers and listeners, do yourselves a favor and grab this book as soon as humanly possible. Yes, you can go into this story without having checked out the first one in the series, but why do that when here I am ready and willing to instill in you the fear of missing out on one of the best books of 2023? So please, dive into The New Guy and then I'm Your Guy (or vice-versa, whichever floats your boat) because I promise, they're both stories worth the time you put into them. Sarina Bowen does NOT disappoint with this second Hockey Guys installment, giving readers and listeners a slow burn, grumpy/sunshine hockey romance with main characters that make you fall in love with them just as they happen to be falling for each other. Tommaso's reluctance to be open about his sexuality was heartbreaking because so much of his anxiety was due to how certain relatives treated him. Then there's Carter's insecurities, no thanks to what he considered his failure in making the right choices both in his personal and professional lives. They came into one another's lives when they needed a touchstone--non-familial and non-platonic--the most. And I could think of no better twosome to bring Tommaso and Carter to life than Jacob Morgan and Teddy Hamilton. Five-plus hot diggity stars go to I'm Your Guy.
