Find Me on the Ice: Hockey Romance (Nighthawks Book 2)

Product Information

I guess... improvement. At least Mitch and Alex were right maybe things would be different ten years down the road, but still, ten long damn years just because of an athlete's sexuality. Mitch....the confident, smirky guy was sexy and won me over from the very start. But Mitch.....the vulnerable guy...OMG, downright swoon-worthy!! ❤️

The slow, slow burn in this is beautifully written. Alex is repulsed at first by Mitch's open come ons and he doesn't want to get involved. But once he sees that the visible Mitch isn't the real one, he's intrigued and, as he begins to tutor him for a class he can't afford to fail while out on an injury leave, Alex starts to to get that emotional connection.After being abandoned by most of the people who were supposed to love him, Mitch has been guarding his heart and refuses to show his real self to people. However, when he meets Alex, he is immediately enamoured and desperately wants him. But then he finds out that Alex is demisexual and if Mitch wants a chance with Alex he will have to let go of his hang-ups and let Alex get to know the real him. If he won’t, Alex will never give him the time of day, and Mitch is sure that Alex is worth it to put himself out there again. He does, but SO SLOWLY. I know he’s supposed to be demisexual, but somehow I didn’t get the feeling that there’s more than friendship between Mitch and Alex. The 2 sex scenes very late in the book felt a bit awkward (do people really wear gloves when getting their partner lubed up? First time I read about that). I got to the funeral scene and seriously couldn’t take it anymore. This book was awful. Leah has the personality of a 17 year old girl, while Alec basically has zero traits other than the fact that he only rides in limos and is in love with Leah. The guy basically has the personality of a sim. Then there’s the Evil Witch aka Mitch’s mother who tries to manipulate her children to do her bidding. I truly can’t understand how Mitch’s father, who seemed to be a decent guy, didn’t put his foot down earlier, and how he didn’t get suspicious when Mitch’s brother started to shut Mitch out. So many things just didn’t add up there. My heart broke for Mitch and his lost relationship with his brother. Mitch loved him so much and it was heartbreaking to see his brother's rejection. 💔

The demisexual representation in this was lovely and, hands down, the most realistic demisexual representation I have read. The author herself is demi, according to her author’s note. Still, you can also tell that the representation isn’t written as the only way the sexual orientation is for many people. The author wrote it like an open book, which can be interpreted by many people differently, even if the general idea of what demisexuality means is the same. I appreciated and loved this. It shows how, despite the author's personal connection to it, she didn’t write it to make it seem like her way was the only correct way. Even though Alex and Mitch engage sexually, it isn’t the entire plot and goal of the story. Sex does not take over the romance, and it isn’t what both characters are the most concerned about. This showed how, yes, sex does become something the two characters have because of their close connection, but it does not take away the emotional aspect. It doesn’t change who they are as characters, either. Yeah.” Mitch’s eyebrows pulled together in that way he had that told Alex he was surprised Alex understood him so easily. “I don’t know why, though.” There's a great bunch of secondary characters in this one and a very visual setting which was well described and I'm hoping there's going to be more involving the guys from Mitch's college team and some of Alex's Tampa teammates. Big secrets? they won’t bring their relationship out of the closet, so from that aspect they are keeping a secret from everyone outside of their close circle of friends/family Mitch is such a dipshit. The classic thinks-he’s-smart college kid, asking real stupid questions under the guise of being clever and edgy. He also had that super cringe immature crude humor thing going “lol i asked panelists about sex as exercise I’m so clever." diePDF / EPUB File Name: Find_Me_on_the_Ice_-_Pru_Schuyler.pdf, Find_Me_on_the_Ice_-_Pru_Schuyler.epub steamy? not a ton. The story is more about their emotional connection than their sexual connection. Like wow, aren't y'all surprised Mariam read a book where two characters didn't bang 20% in the book? I know cus I felt hollow too 🤡🤡🤡
