grumpy sunshine excellence
coach/assistant coach
bi awakening
" Max stared at him, stuck between the perfectly rational hatred an ex-Hab should feel for an ex-Bruin, and lust at how hot Misha looked skating. "
misha is the grumpy, broody russian eaten by guilt. max is the down on his luck sunshine boy with so much optimism and forgiveness. they have to coach together and deal with their past. they've played against each other in the NHL and misha was the cause of an accidental carreer ending injury for max. but friendship blooms and more.
" but his smile drove all the darkness out of Misha’s mind and cleared the thunderclouds of his memories until nothing was left but sunlight. "
look, this was delightful and hearbreaking. we get amazing team moments, great family scenes, holidays and on the road and weeknights. i still think about this book weeks later.
CW : sex work, homophobic parents, blackmail.
