As a Top Ten draft pick, I'd been on my way to hockey stardom—until one bad hit on the ice threatened it all. Now I have one year of college left to prove to everyone that I've made a full recovery from my injury and am still worth a shot in the NHL.

So my plan for senior year is simple: keep my head down, work hard, and win the Frozen Four.

But it all goes right out the window when my twin brother Nate finds himself in a precarious situation, and I'm the only one who can help him.

The only problem? It includes living with his best friend—and my worst enemy. Xander Hart has a way of getting under my skin, and our encounters usually end in disaster.

Xander

Study hard, make my parents proud, win the Frozen Four—that's my to-do list for senior year. One thing I did not have on there: losing my best friend.

Nate and I have been inseparable since our first day of college, so I really thought I knew him. But then his behavior changes from one day to the next, and not in a good way. He's avoiding me, and every time I confront him, we end up fighting. On the ice, however, we are unstoppable.

Suddenly, I'm torn between wanting to punch him and wanting to kiss him.

Ugh, this year is going to be intense.

The Switched-Up Playbook is the first in a five-book standalone mm college romance series, each of which features different athletes. Book one is filled with heated fights on and off the ice between two rivals, witty banter, spicy scenes, twin shenanigans, and wholesome friendships. For mature listeners.

Sweet and Swoony

This was a sweet and swoony story. The narrators did well but there were quite a few times that I was unsure who was talking because they didn’t really vary their voice inflections. I wish there had been more spice but that’s just me. Overall I feel like this was more of a realistic build to the relationship as opposed to some stories. No insta love. They are rivals but not really enemies. I kind of wish they were a little more mean to each other because ultimately they just didn’t really like each other. When they finally snapped though, it was good. Low angst and just really sweet. If you like sweet, some spice, lovable MCs with no trauma this is an excellent read.

Perfect!!!!!🤩

Can’t wait for the rest of the series!!! Great listen and good story. Loved it
