My Kind of Guy

Hockey Guys: A Series of MM Stand-Alone Novels, Book 4

By: Sarina Bowen

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, Brandon Francis

He’s a backup goalie with a broken game. The only thing he needs more than a win is the hot, grumpy bartender who pours his weekly beer.

Becker James is having a spectacularly bad season. Once a top draft pick, he’s now riding the bench in the minors, one failed save away from being cut. The highlight of his week? A lonely hour on a barstool at Sports Balls, Denver’s queerest watering hole—and Forest, the bartender with flannel sleeves, a gruff voice, and a beard that stars in Beck’s dreams.

Opportunity strikes when Forest’s LGBTQ hockey team—the Stickhandlers—loses their goalie last-minute. Beck makes Forest an offer: he’ll help them beat the most hated team in the beer league, but he wants something in return—one night together.

Cue the record scratch, because Seth Forrester doesn’t do hookups. After his last one went horribly wrong, he swore off men for good. He’s definitely not falling for the awkward hottie who just stammered through an indecent proposal.

But Beck is prepared to press his case, no matter how awkward it gets. And one beer league game turns into something messier, sweeter, and so much harder to walk away from…

funny and sweet

this is probably my new favorite. Beck is just a sweet little baby. these two went together so well.

10/10 would recommend
spice 🌶 🌶 .5

So good!

This whole series will forever be a reread for me. This latest brings us lumberjack hottie and the guy who wants him and after some heartbreak, wins him. I loved it!!!

Beck

I think Beck is my favorite character ever written by Sarina Bowen. Of course I love them all, but his weirdo brain resonates with my soul. He's kinda like a "racoon running through a wedding." Loved this book. Felt all of the tension and will definitely read again.

perfect

soft and squishy, comedic relief, mild angst, little bit of spice, little bit of hurt/comfort, and all the feels

Humorous, Sexy and Fun!

These are maybe my favorite couple from the series. Beck infuses humor, awkwardness and relatability into the story. I love that we got a chance to revisit some of the previous characters as well. Bowen always strikes the right mix of storytelling with romance. This is one of the hotter books in the series. 10/10 Recommend!
