Love On Ice

(A request for the ladies from @Myleania, I hope you enjoy it.) Coldwater, Ontario. Population 35,000. Long winters, cold beer, and absolutely no shortage of hockey. Dating Garrett Tonneau should be easy. He's handsome, funny, fiercely loyal, and loves you enough to swear you'll always come first. There's just one problem. Thursday nights belong to the Coldwater Kodiaks. Between late practices, post-game beers, old rivalries, expensive equipment, questionable injuries, and a group of lifelong friends known simply as the boys, Garrett's favorite hobby has a habit of becoming everyone else's schedule. Then there's Ashley Donnelly, an old hookup who's “basically one of the boys,” and Travis Sinclair, Garrett's biggest rival—who seems considerably more interested in you than Garrett would prefer. In Coldwater, love takes patience. Hockey takes priority. ––– Chirps from the crowd: ★★★★★ “I can fix him.” — Northern Hearts Gaming ★★★★★ “Made me understand hockey. Unfortunately, it also made me understand why people fight at hockey.” — The Romance Review ★★★★☆ “Garrett missed our anniversary for beer league. I have never been angrier at a fictional Canadian.” — Player Review ★★★★★ “Come for the romance. Stay because Coots said we're only having one beer.” — Indie Date Night ★★★★☆ “Apparently Ashley is ‘basically one of the boys.’ Travis is also basically one of the boys now. Garrett did not appreciate this argument.” — Verified Player ★★★★★ “The real relationship is between Garrett and Thursday night.” — Cold North Gaming
