About this ebook

A new male / male hockey romance from bestseller Sarina Bowen!

My name is Hudson Newgate, but my teammates call me New Guy.

That was my nickname in Chicago, too. And Vancouver. That’s what happens when you keep getting traded. Brooklyn is my last chance, especially after my poor performance last season.

But I can make this work. The new guy knows to keep his head down and shoot the puck. The new guy puts the game first.

What he doesn’t do is hook up with the other new guy—a hot athletic trainer who lives in my building. Gavin needs this job with my team. He’s a single dad with responsibilities.

We can’t be a couple. My arrogant agent–who’s also my father–will lose his mind if I’m dating a dude. And my team needs me to score goals, not whip up a media circus.

Too bad Gavin and I are terrible at resisting each other…

Ratings and reviews

Gavin and Hudson were so much swoon!! I loved how they grew their friendship and then took it to the next level. There's a bit more angst than I usually get in SB's books but it perfectly fit this couple so much. I love all my visits to Brooklyn but I'm hoping this book opens up visits elsewhere too :)

Sarina Bowen is one of the few authors I read who in my opinion does M/M right. She makes you fall in love completely with both Ms while also enjoying every aspect of their story. Hudson & Gavin are two such characters. They both reeled me in from the get-go. Hudson with his charm and inability to come out because of his career and Gavin being a widower who is now a single dad to his daughter Jordyn trying to navigate his new reality. I love them and their story so much. The heat they generate i

If single dad romances are your jam you will want to read Gavin and Hudson Newgate’s journey in The New Guy !!! Hudson and Gavin nearly got it together for a hookup but fate had other plans and it was just as well because they end up working on the same team, Gavin as a therapist and Hudson as a player. This is where things get interesting because they have feelings for each other but a relationship could ruin their careers …….. The New Guy ticked my boxes, I swooned, I smiled, I giggled
