HIM

De: Sarina Bowen, Elle Kennedy

Narrado por: Teddy Hamilton, Jacob Morgan

They don't play for the same team. Or do they?

Jamie Canning has never been able to figure out how he lost his closest friend. Four years ago, his tattooed, wisecracking, rule-breaking roommate cut him off without an explanation. So what if things got a little weird on the last night of hockey camp the summer they were 18? It was just a little drunken foolishness. Nobody died.

Ryan Wesley's biggest regret is coaxing his very straight friend into a bet that pushed the boundaries of their relationship. Now, with their college teams set to face off at the national championship, he'll finally get a chance to apologize. But all it takes is one look at his longtime crush, and the ache is stronger than ever.

Jamie has waited a long time for answers but walks away with only more questions - can one night of sex ruin a friendship? If not, how about six more weeks of it?

When Wesley turns up to coach alongside Jamie for one more hot summer at camp, Jamie has a few things to discover about his old friend...and a big one to learn about himself.

Warning: Contains sexual situations, hotties on hockey skates, skinnydipping, shenanigans in an SUV, and proof that coming out to your family on social media is a dicey proposition.

Loved it.

First gay male book that I have listened to that wasn't purely sexual. This is a true love story. I enjoyed every moment of it.

Great friends, better lovers

This story of 2 male friends, Jamie Canning and Wes Ryan, was very, very, very sexy and full of wit and smile-worthy moments between these two kindred spirits. These 2 very likeable characters were recently-graduated males headed to careers with major league hockey teams. They are also recently reunited after years of estrangement. Their reunion was easy and maturely handled, and started their journey towards being more than friends. Watching their romance develop was so much fun. They were so well-matched; how much they liked and respected each other was obvious. So movement towards sex was without much struggle and also handled honestly and with maturity and care, mainly. There was a bit of misreading each other, but it wasn't manufactured and not drawn out, thankfully. It was more out of fear about the new and somewhat expected direction their friendship had taken. And, for one of them, the new direction his sexuality had taken. So it all developed naturally and in expected ways. However, the reaction of Wes' team towards his homosexuality was a bit too easy; it was balanced somewhat by Wes and Jamie acting surprised too. The team was in Canada, so maybe the acceptance was more plausible. But Wes' teammates and coaches in the U.S., during college, were also accepting of his sexual orientation. But everything wasn't easy in the story, so it didn't lack realism, plausibility.
What made this book so good was the connection between Jamie & Wes, the wittiness, the hot sex (which wasn't overdone nor the majority of the story), and the easy, good writing. The authors' ability to write a common plot in a better way than many made them worthy of me buying more by them. Unfortunately, Audible doesn't offer any more stories by this joint writing team. But I hope that soon changes.
The 2 narrators made the story easier to follow along with the book's focus being split between Jamie & Wes and the focus being identified whenever it changed.

Loved it!

What a great story...and the two narrators made it come alive! I can't wait to find more by these authors.

A must listen!!!!

This book has all the feels! Sexy, hot, and so realistic w/ the emotions. The character development makes you feel like you want to be friends with these people and really pulls you into their story. This is a new all time favorite for me. Definitely worth the credit!
I didn’t want it to end. (I’ll be starting the 2nd today)

Sheer amazement

What I feel and have experienced is sheer joy, love and gratitude. Thank you Sarina. I hope to read/hear more from you
