MM Romances
Hockey Rivals to Lovers
I dont know what to rate this but I’m definitely in the minority. I’m left with a kind of mehhh feeling after just finishing it. Part of it is how unfinished the ending was like I wanted more, I expected it after how drawn out the first part was. I usually love flashback scenes into how people met but I felt they went on way too long especially when all they were doing was playing hockey and meeting up to have sex. Instead of having the same repetitive sex scenes, I wanted to see how it became more than that with real emotions and that aha! moment. I think there was always some sort of awe there for each other. They made each other strive to be better and I loved that but I wanted out of hookup land a long time before it stopped and it became a bit boring.
I did love Shane and Ilya and their banter but I wanted more of it off the ice. I wanted the Jacobs/Beck type of riling each other up but it fell kind of short at times. Enemies to lovers sports romances are usually my thing but something is just missing. Maybe it’s me.
