The Head Game by Brigham Vaughn
5.0

This is one of the most unique hockey romances I've ever read. Think of the movie while you were sleeping but make it a MM romance between an NHL player who when he gets injured during a game and the referee he loves to antagonize and previous one-time hook-up. I thought the medical side of the story was interesting to read. I love a mild hurt/comfort story, and I thought that the way August supports Nico in his recovery was so tender and enjoyed seeing how Nico was trying to help August salvage his career when their fake engagement gets leaked.

Also, I had no idea the book was almost 600 pages until writing this review. I feel like the story was really well paced and didn't feel that long/drag in any places.
