About
It's goalie vs. goalie in this lighthearted enemies-to-lovers hockey romance from Avon Gale and Piper Vaughn
Ryu Mori has had a stellar season as goalie for the Atlanta Venom. So when he's called into management's office, he's expecting to hear he's the new starting goalie for the team, not that some new guy-an incredibly hot, annoyingly bratty rookie-is here to compete for his spot.
Not everyone gets to play in the best league in the world. Emmitt Armstrong knows that, and he's not about to waste the opportunity after grinding his way from the bottom to the top. If the Venom are looking for a meek, mild-mannered pushover, they've got the wrong guy.
Ryu doesn't want to admit the other goalie's smart mouth turns him on. Beating Armstrong at practice feels good, sure, but there are other, more fun ways to shut his rival up.
In this league, it's winner takes all. But there's more to life than winning, and if Emmitt and Ryu can get past their egos and competitive natures, they might just discover they work better as partners than they ever imagined possible.
Hat Trick
Book 1: Off the Ice
Book 2: Goalie Interference
Book 3: Trade Deadline "The dialogue was genuine and interesting. I found the pacing of the novel to be spot on. The LGBTQ theme was handled in a way that felt thoughtful and sincere rather than as a tool. I'd be remiss to leave out the fact that this book is also amazingly sexy! {...} This book was as fun, at time tense, and rewarding as any hockey game!"-The Pink Heart Society on Off the Ice
"Hockey romance is my jam, and Off the Ice is one of the best out there." -Min and Her Books on Off the Ice
"...We see a lot of solidarity and platonic love between friends. Which, let's admit, we need so badly in both m/m romance in general and in sports-related novels."-Mariam's Yummy Books on Off the Ice
"I love everything about this book... Piper Vaughn and Avon Gale are a Dream Team."-Small Queer, Big Opinions on Off the Ice
"I really loved this collaboration and will be looking out for the rest of the books in the series. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes an opposites attract love story with some steamy sex and a realistic amount of angst."-Sinfully on Off the Ice
"Off the Ice is a delightful queer sports romance that readers will appreciate. It's a little different from the usual sports romances out there, but that is most definitely a positive. The romance was sweet and the relationship problems realistic, but ultimately this book shows how appearances can be deceiving."-The Book Corps on Off the Ice
