Crossing Blades by Hayden Hall
5.0

This is an angsty, emotional, MM college romance with themes of hockey players, enemies, second chances, delicious Dom/Sub (pain kink & bratty undertones). Quite the mix that sucked me in, of course I wanted the #ARC! Devoured in around 5hrs. Adored Riley & Cam!

Eachother's solace, Cam broke Riley's heart by going far away for college. Now in final year, Riley's college hockey captain. Cam has newly transferred, & a teammate. The animosity is expected, but it's hiding so much hurt & loneliness within. Fights, taunt (I found em kinda cute lol). The anger blew up to lust, a truce to play together...but they hadn't had a chance then, will they now? Or will the cycle of betrayal repeat, geography breaking em apart? Always a secret fling?

These 2 are 2 complex boys! Different insecurities hiding. Their kinkiness was a pleasantly hot surprise. Cute moments too. I really wanted more, To see some scenes that are told, but time passed by
