I see you, Avram Tremblay.
I see the way you hide your fears behind that smirk.
I see the way you stick to your carefully designed routines and schedules like that will somehow make a difference.
I see the way you lie and tell everyone you’re okay.
You’ve been raised to think you’re better than me. Arrogant and full of attitude, you see my junkyard, tattooed knuckles and dirty hands, writing me off as lesser in your mind. You see yourself as a hockey God among mere mortals, completely forgetting that I am the one who saved your life. Completely forgetting that I am the only one to ever tear down the walls you’ve surrounded yourself with. The only one to ever show you what life could be like if you just let go of it all and live in the moment.
I see how that scares you.
You never thought you’d be here, putting in ice time on a minor league team, desperately waiting for the major league to take notice of your talent. It kills you that you’re stuck here instead of being up there, but I like you here.
I want you here.
I want you, Avram Tremblay.
And the way you cling to my skin, pressing yourself against me in the darkness and begging me to give you a taste of the freedom you deny yourself tells me that you want me too.
Bottle Rocket features an uptight, anxiety filled hockey player determined to succeed, a free spirited bad boy covered in tattoos, a junkyard on the edge of town, an arena full of fans, opposites finding true love and a slobbery dog named Moose. Please see the author's note for content warnings.
This book is part of The Games We Play - Season 2. This is the second season of this multi-author minor hockey league romance series and while all titles run concurrently through the same hockey season, the books can be read in any order, so jump in anywhere!
Genre: Gay Romance
