The Understatement of the Year: (Ivy Years #3) An MM Hockey Romance | Sarina Bowen

pick

Boom. 2nd book off of #24in24. Thanks @Jas16 for this signed book for Xmas and thanks @CarolynM for the nudge to read it. Rikker walks in to the locker room of the hockey team he just transferred to and no one is more shocked than Graham as they have a shared history that has haunted him. Queer hockey romance that at times felt like horror because of the prison Graham builds for himself by being in the closet. This was sweet and, of course, 👇🏼

Reggie I cried. Pick! 10mo

Jas16 Yay! So glad that you liked it! She has written other gay hockey romances and they are all really good. (edited) 10mo

Reggie @ShyBookOwl not yet, this stack of books is my TBR for a challenge this year where we pick 24 books to read off our bookshelf. I‘m just gonna keep taking pictures of the books I read off of it until it gets down to zero books. But I loved Tingle‘s Straight novella so I have high hopes for Camp Damascus. 10mo

Reggie @intothehallofbooks Yeah, I think this is my 3rd book by her and they‘re always good. 10mo

Reggie @Lesliereadsalot I have heard nothing but good stuff about it. 10mo

ShyBookOwl @Reggie Awesome! I hope to make it a summer read 10mo

CarolynM Glad you enjoyed😀 I just love Johnny Rikker. If you‘re interested there‘s a follow up novella called Yesterday in

The Understatement of the Year: (Ivy Years #3) An MM Hockey Romance | Sarina Bowen

Happy Saturday Littens! Today, at the laundromat I asked this girl what she was reading and it was a book about the 12 steps but the original ones more based in faith(?) because she had a friend who was an addict going through the program who asked her to read it so she could help them out. Later on while she was leaving she asked me what I was reading and I told her-gay hockey romance. Her eyes widened just a touch and her small, cute 👇🏼

Reggie mouth released an-ohh. And you could tell bells of realization were ringing for her and our story was now over. But it wasn‘t over for me. In the multiverse where there is a straight Reggie I walk up to use the dryer she just finished with. There are sexy panties left over that I have to return to her. Lolol we have reading dates and her addiction friend becomes the godmother to our children. When they ask our kids how their mommy and daddy 👇🏼 10mo

Reggie met they‘ll say over books at the laundromat. And our kids are readers and two of them have to have glasses before 1st grade. But alas Littens it is not to be. Extra points to romantsy readers who can recommend me meet cute romances in the laundromat. Happy Saturday! 10mo

AmyG HA! She wouldn‘t be thrilled with me either as I believe in a woman‘s right to choose what to do with her own body. In my multiverse we‘d all be accepting of each other based on kindness and would form a book club. But not a horror one. Maybe we‘d give horror the month of October. ;) 10mo

cariashley Ha I love this post!!! 😆💛 10mo

psalva Laundromats are interesting places. Same for apartment building laundry rooms. I‘ve had some interesting interactions with people in those venues and I can definitely relate :) 10mo

sarahbarnes I love this universe‘s version of Reggie! ♥️ 10mo

Jas16 Love this 10mo

AnnR @Reggie - I loved reading your post and the comments here. 🙂 10mo

Ruthiella I think the laundry romance is a book you should write Reggie! 😃 10mo

Leftcoastzen Love your post! Please write a laundry romance straight,gay , or otherwise!😂👏 10mo

Suet624 Aww, Reggie, I wish I lived close to you. I‘d love to hear all of your stories. 10mo

Bookzombie @Suet624 I feel the same! 10mo

Bookzombie I love your story! I can‘t think of any laundromat related romances. Just this graphic novel which is definitely not a romance.

Centique Dont change our Reggie please and thank you! PS just imagine when that girl has kids with her meet cute they grow up to be a goth lesbian art historian and a pot smoking truant surfer dude who both school her on having a wider world view. I say this as i have a kitchen full of goth lesbians baking brownies right now 😂 10mo

Reggie @Centique goth lesbians baking brownies sounds like great time and a great title for a short story. Can I ask? Is the daughter one of them or is she friends with them? 10mo

Centique @Reggie the daughter is currently undecided but the majority of her friends are queer - and kick ass - and good at baking which is a plus! 10mo

Rissreads Awwwww Reggie, she has really lucked out not getting to know you. Her loss! And yes you really need to write a book. It would be an instant best seller! ♥️ 9mo

I LOVED THIS BOOK! It was the best of the three thus far, and that is saying a lot since I adored book one. There was a lot of hockey, a couple of men who had to work through some old trauma, new problems, and a lot of angsty sweetness! 🏒❤️👬#mmromance #romantsy #hockey #lgbt

samcauley This is one of my favorite books of all time 4y

To say I loved this book would be an understatement (haha, see what I did there? 😉). Seriously though, so so good.

#HeyJune #WeCanWorkItOut

A second chance romance and a coming out story with some genuine negotiation between the characters of how their lives could work together. Also a gym work out scene. #romantsy

Cinfhen, GypsyKat

Cinfhen Ha! I‘ve never read a gym make out scene 😅 6y

CarolynM @Cinfhen Your imagination is running away with you, I said WORK out scene😂 6y

Centique Oh I‘m definitely stacking this! 😍😁 6y

CarolynM @Centique This one is a favourite, hope you like it. It's what made me get into ice hockey and I'm very grateful to it for that - so much fun! 6y

Centique @CarolynM oh cool! I know nothing about ice hockey so it will be good to get some insight. I‘ve started a romance about a baseball player but that‘s on pause for the moment - the characters are quite young and naive, but I‘ll get back to them eventually. 6y

I feel like I should read more romances sometimes. They're right up my alley actually (especially if they're queer), but I rarely end up reading them?

I'm fairly sure these are the steamiest books you'll find on my shelf 😂

QOTD: Do you have any recs for queer Romances?

This was a lot more heartwrenching than the previous books in the series, but I thought it was so well done and loved the story overall. It definitely touches on some deeper stuff than the previous books.

Soooo this just happened. It is a good thing I live alone because whatever sound I just made would be cause for alarm. Not a bad way to start a day.
