Story5 out of 5 stars 47
When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Story5 out of 5 stars 15
Being invited to my cousin’s wedding really shouldn’t be a big deal except, oh yeah, I haven't seen my family for a decade. My parents turned their backs on me, and I’ve done everything since to become successful and show them what they've lost. Only it’s kinda hard to be a success when you’re a walking trainwreck.

Story5 out of 5 stars 35
Military life is all I’ve known since I was born. But when a top-secret mission fails, I find myself suddenly discharged with nowhere to go. Mike Bravo saved my life, and they want me to join them, but there’s one small problem. Isaac “Iris” Griffin. He’s as irresistibly snarky as he always was, only there’s a big difference this time. I’m no longer closeted or scared to live my truth. And the truth is, I’ve always wanted him. It’s against Mike Bravo’s rules to fraternize with other team members. But something tells me Iris might be worth the insubordination.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 29
Harrison Phillip Fletcher III isn't supposed to be here. Not in Burlington, Vermont, not running Vino & Veritas, a quaint inclusive bookstore and wine bar, and definitely not still alive, at 42. Also not supposed to be here? An unexpected delivery of chickens. Finn Barnes knows chickens. The burly organic farmer knows all about rare breed poultry, but dealing with a hot older bookseller is an entirely different matter. City-slicker types like Harrison never end up staying in Vermont for the long-term. They should steer clear of each other. But the flare of attraction is mutual.

Moms are good at one thing: the guilt trip. It’s the only reason I’m at the funeral of a man I’ve never had anything to do with. I’ll show up, make her happy, and get out. At least that’s what I think until I learn daddy dearest has left me a crap load of money and the obligation to learn about the family business. All from his eldest son who looks nothing like the rest of us.

Payne. In search of: Room to rent. Must ignore the patheticness of a 40-year-old roommate. Preferably dirt cheap as funds are tight (nonexistent). There’s nothing sadder than moving back to my hometown newly divorced, homeless, and lost for what my next move is. When my little brother’s best friend offers me a place to stay in exchange for menial duties, I swallow my pride and jump at the offer. I need this. I also need Beau to wear a shirt. And ditch the gray sweatpants. And not leave his door ajar when he’s in compromising positions...

"Look out for Zach, and don't hit on him." My brother's request sounds easy enough. Keep an eye out for his best friend on campus and keep my hands to myself. Easy. Even if Zach is a quintessential nerd, who I've always thought was cute, I don't have the time to think with my...stick. There's only one stick I should be focused on this year, and that's my hockey stick. My goal once I graduate is to get an NHL contract. The last thing I need is a distraction. On or off the ice. Only, keeping to the rules is harder than I thought it would be.

Tyson Langley thinks the king in Franklin University Kings is in reference to him. Star lacrosse player and God’s gift to the female and male population, there’s nothing the spoiled jock can’t have. It’s impossible for us to be in the same room without talking crap to each other. But I also have a secret…as much as I despise Ty, I want him too. I revel in our banter and in never knowing what he’ll say next. I’ve spent too much time on the wrong side of the law for someone like Ty, though, and if I want to escape my past, he’s a distraction I don’t need.

I’m a man with too many secrets, so the last thing I need is a new roommate with a sexy smile and blue eyes that see right through me. Eight years ago, Roderick left town after high school. We’re not friends. I owe him nothing. But back then, I let one of my secrets slip, and he’s the only one who noticed. Part of me knows I should run far, far away. But the other part wants him to come upstairs and spend the night. But if I let him in, I could lose everything.

Publisher's Summary
A straight guy gives gay hookup tips to a virgin. What could go wrong?
When I first met Whit, I couldn't get away from him fast enough. He's a hockey player, and I hate everything to do with the sport that broke my heart.
But I can't help feeling sorry for the guy. He's newly out and desperate to meet someone, but his eagerness seems to scare potential hook-ups away.
Agreeing to be his wingman should've been simple. Watching him flirt with other guys made things complicated.
Whit challenges me in every aspect of my life, from my hatred of hockey to the new questions I'm asking myself. Like why a straight man suddenly can't stop thinking about kissing another guy.
I think the answer lies somewhere on Whit's lips....
Contains mature themes.

Cute and fluffy
Such a cute story. I loved all the characters and the plot had great flow.
I don't think the narrators did it justice though. I don't think they captured either of the characters very well. They're not bad but I think they should have, at the very least, switched characters.

Fantastic M/M Romance!
Headstrong is a great low angst listen about a current and a former hockey player who meet at Vino And Veritas bar. I am big fan of the grumpy-sunshine trope and loved how saracastic Rainn was and how he slowly warmed up to Whit's sunny personality.
This book was funny, sweet and steamy. Tim Paige was perfect for Whit's bubbly character and Iggy Toma was fantastic as Rainn he did a great job with the sarcasm and had me laughing.

Grumpy/Sunshine fave!
Headstrong is an MM romance with a grumpy/sunshine trope.
Rainn is the grumpy ex hockey player with a chip on his shoulder about everything hockey. He works at Vino & Veritas as a book clerk and a bartender where he becomes Whits wingman.
Whit is the cute but very inexperienced golden retriever energy hockey player.
He recently came out but has never hand a boyfriend or any relationship.
Rainn and Whit have that it’s gonna happen vibe from the beginning. This is cute and fluff which is exactly what I wanted from it.

A good-natured low-angst sports romance!
When hockey player Whit recently came out, he expected to finally hook up but he’s having a hard time sealing the deal, despite his looks - he worries his nervousness and desperation is not helping! Having had his own hockey career tank due to injury, Rainn dislikes hockey players in general and doesn’t warm to Whit when he walks into Vino & Veritas, the inclusive bar and bookshop where Rainn works. Although Rainn is straight, he and Whit get over their differences and develop something more than friendship - it will be a series of firsts for both men. There was a lot to like about this Vino & Veritas standalone. Both guys are decent, likeable and well-drawn characters. There’s no fake drama, just the give and take of two guys learning to understand and value each other. You have to suspend belief about Rainn’s easy adjustment from straight to bi, but it wasn’t a chore. I liked the gentle subplots about each of the guys’ futures and I loved the audio narration by Iggy Toma (as Rainn) and Tim Paige (as Whit). All in all, this was really enjoyable addition to the V&V series!

Not for me.
The story was well written for what it was: two normal guys, doing normal things, and having a normal relationship. No angst. No action. No false tension. No drama. Just... normal. While I'm sure there's an audience for stories like this, I found it boring. I spent the entire book waiting for the story to start. Nothing happened. At all. I liked that it didn't try to be anything other than it was, it didn't force tension or create unnecessary drama, but I personally like there to be something in the story that gets me invested. When it's obvious two people are going to get together and there is absolutely no reason why they shouldn't, that's sweet, but not a page-turner.
Still, for a normal story about the normal life of normal guys, it was well written.
