Day 19 ππ³οΈβπ Home Ice Advantage by @aribaranwrites.bsky.social - work rivals to lovers with a backdrop of pro hockey. Part of a series, I've only read this one so far.
I love a cranky protagonist, in much the same way I enjoy those videos of cranky dads loving the pets they initially didn't want.
a cranky dad loving the pet he didnβt originally want really does summarize their relationship perfectly too lmao

Listen. I just really really really love these books and these sad and slightly less sad hockey players and also the most Boston man to ever live.
