About this item
A brand new standalone extra spicy hate-to-love (they really, really can't stand each other), brother's best friend hockey romance.
Hate is a gentle word. Eternal loathing is more accurate.
Pro hockey player with a filthy reputation and an even filthier mouth? That’s Tristan Stiles, also known as my brother’s best friend and my ungodly hot new roommate.
I thought it would be fine, just a quick stay after I rage quit my job while I look for a new place.
I was wrong.
It’s not fine.
We fight. We bicker. We taunt each other like it’s a brutal Olympic sport.
Tristan never wears a shirt and looks like my every sexy nightmare come to life, complete with perfect abs.
He was my secret crush growing up, but I’m not the little kid wishing for his attention anymore.
If we can’t keep our clothes on, we’ll both go down in flames. I’m addicted to how he makes my body feel. I can’t stop falling into his bed.
That line between hate and love? It’s looking pretty thin.
Now I’m wondering how either of us will walk away unscathed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly entertaining and smoking hot story!
Rix and Tristan were everything. I loved the witty yet wicked barbs flying between them, the tension was palpable. However, I could see the cracks forming and I loved those moments shining through when you could feel the sweetness and playfulness between them. I loved the building feelings they were denying. When that tension between them finally spilled over… just WOW! I've read some hot books before but I swear I smelled smoke when these two got together. Beyond the sex, there was drama, pain, and emotional upheaval as they opened up and shared the issues they were dealing with and I liked how they worked through them. The humor was fantastic and I loved Rix and Tristan’s internal dialogue. This was filled with so many laugh-out-loud moments and I loved them all. I liked that it was dual POVs so I could get inside their heads and truly understand what drove them.
I loved all the characters involved. I love how Rix found a core group of friends and the laughter and support they brought. I loved Tristan's teammates and their camaraderie, and how they brought the wisdom when needed. A lot of people were introduced and I can't wait to see who will get a story. I’m hoping Rix’s brother and Tristan’s best friend Flip gets one, this guy needs to work himself out! I love how their different relationships with Flip factored into the story and the complications it added.
This was a super entertaining and addicting to read. I absolutely loved all the heat but even more than that, I loved Rix and Tristan coming together, opening up and being vulnerable, and getting to their HEA. It was the best!

Rix's journey begins with a dash of desperation as she seeks refuge with her older brother and his best friend, both professional hockey players with the Toronto Terror. Little does she know, this temporary arrangement is about to ignite a spark she never saw coming.
Enter Tristan Stiles, the epitome of everything Rix can't stand, cocky, infuriatingly attractive, and her brother's best friend. Their dynamic is electric, fueled by years of bickering and unresolved tension. But as fate would have it, beneath the surface of their mutual animosity lies a simmering attraction waiting to erupt.
Hunting masterfully crafts a narrative that is rich in humor, passion, and undeniable chemistry. The banter between Rix and Tristan crackles with intensity, leaving readers eagerly flipping pages to witness the fireworks. Despite their initial reluctance, their journey from adversaries to lovers is as tumultuous as it is heartwarming.
Tristan's complexity adds depth to the narrative, his inner turmoil mirroring the challenges of real-life relationships. As he grapples with past traumas and struggles to articulate his feelings, readers are drawn into a poignant exploration of vulnerability and self-discovery.
But it's not just the main characters who shine in this tale. Supporting characters, like Rix's newfound girl group, Hemi, Tally, and Hammer, inject the story with warmth and camaraderie, promising exciting developments in future installments.
From laugh-out-loud moments to tender, heart-string-tugging scenes, this book is a testament to the power of love, forgiveness, and second chances. Whether you're a die-hard hockey fan or simply a hopeless romantic, this novel is sure to score a special place in your heart. So, prepare to be swept away by the irresistible charm of Rix and Tristan's love story.
Happy reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars phenomenally filthy!
Tris is such a tortured hero with mommy issues for days, but his personal growth throughout the story made me tear up frequently- he deserves all the love and cucumbers in the whole world.
Rix and her food insecurity hit real close to home for me. she took the brunt of the pain for so many people in her life, and she came out so much stronger for it- i truly hope she leaves finance and follows her nutritional dreams in the continuing books.
Their love story had me hooked from the very first scathing remark and the chemistry was more explosive than a lab experiment gone wrong. i could not get enough!!!
