MM Small Town/Hockey Romance

The hometown hockey hero and his best friend’s brother....

Vinnie

Hockey is in my blood. I learned to skate before I learned how to ride a bike. I’ve been on a wild ride, playing at the highest level for some of the biggest and best teams in the league. But now it’s over, and I’m not sure what to do with myself.

So I'm going home to Elmwood.

But I’ll tell you what I’m not gonna do—I’m not going to coach my buddy’s junior hockey league. No chance. I don’t know how to deal with kids, and besides, the other coach—who happens to be my best friend’s brother—hates me. With reason.

That may be old news, yet something tells me we’re going to have to deal with the past.

And that's almost as scary as coaching teens.

Nolan

No, I don’t hate Vinnie, but he drives me nuts.

He’s cocky, goofy, selfish, and yeah…after all these years, I’m still attracted to him. But I’m a responsible adult now. I run my family’s business, and with the help of my ex, I’ve made Elmwood Diner into a New England institution.

So maybe my life isn't particularly exciting at the moment, and maybe Vinnie isn’t the worst. Nonetheless, I have no desire to rekindle a friendship with the hockey hero, who no doubt will be on the first flight out of town the second he gets bored or gets a better offer.

And I’m not coaching with him. No way.

Ugh....

I can’t believe I’m doing this again.

You, Again is an MM bisexual, best friend’s brother, frenemies to lovers romance, featuring old friends, a new quest, and a little hockey HEA!

I love a small town hallmark style read every now and again and this was perfect. I’m rating this a 4 on It’s feel good vibes. I really liked both MCs and the side characters were great. Little MK was adorable too.
I only read MM (except for the odd Romantasy) & mainly read dark/taboo, PNR, fantasy/Romantasy and monster romance. Occasionally I need a feel good series with low angst & low stakes as a cleanser/break from heavier books and honestly this was just what I needed. It’s super easy to read, funny at times and has some spice. I read “This Guy” first and really enjoyed it so decided to look at other books by this author. I was so pleased to see a kind-of interconnected series. Moving on to the next book in this series now.

🎧 Nick was fantastic as usual!

Cosy and cute!

5 Stars!

I loved Nolan, he was a sweetheart, but Vinnie was another matter altogether. It took me a while to warm up to him, but as I got to know him better, and he stopped being less of a twat, I started liking him.

I will admit they had amazing chemistry, though, and they made a great team coaching the kids. Their banter was so much fun and their interactions with Nolan's niece were adorable!

This was another hit by Ms. Lane, and the narration by Nick J. Russo was an absolute gem! His narrations are always top-notch. He brings the characters to life with his voice and just made Nolan and Vinnie's story even better for me. Very recommendable!

Top-notch narration!

Heartwarming second chance small town romance.

This was lovely. Did Vinnie act like an arrogant OTT fratboy? Sometimes, yeah, but I saw it more as a defence mechanism and a throwback to childhood trauma, and it never annoyed me or made me hate him. I do think he could have been a better friend to Ronnie in the past but that was my only qualm with him.
Nolan is a people-pleaser, and has loved Vinnie since they were kids.

I love that they reconnected as friends before hooking up. That the relationship was sexy and yet sweet. That apart from a knee jerk reaction this was relatively angst free.

Now I want JC's HEA.

I listened to the audio and thought Nick J Russo did an excellent job.
