#CBR10 Review #30: Him by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy
3.5 stars out of 5! Round 3 of my adventures in hockey romance this year, and Him has definitely been the best one so far! Am I going to read the sequel for it, titled Us ? Mmm, I'm not so sure yet. But potentially. Him is a m/m romance between two long-time hockey bros, Jamie and Wes, who became fast friends over the years, spending their summers at hockey camp together, until after an awkward interaction things suddenly went cold between them. A few years later back at camp though, with one of the boys out and gay, and the other questioning, they find themselves drawn together in ways they never thought they would be. The basic premise here is a story that I've read/watched a few times before, just in different circumstances (and usually in LGBT+ media, in fact). It's that of the good friends, one of whom develops feelings but doesn't think the other feels the same way, only to end up with them separating to meet again later and need to confront the dynamic once...
