Defenseman No. 9 by Xavier NealMy rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
Defenseman
No. 9 by Xavier Neal is book number four in The Hockey Gods series. The book
tells the story of Crash and Hugo, two childhood friends who go from friends to
lovers with some complications along the way. Crash is a flamboyant, out proud
young man who can put up the biggest front when it comes to who he truly is
with other. We see the bad relationship that he is in at the beginning of the
story and how his self-esteem has taken hit after hit from years of thinking he
isn’t good enough. Enter Hugo, his childhood best friend who loves Crash, but
is afraid of what having a relationship with him will mean. Throughout the book
you see the love that Hugo has for Crash
and how communication is key whether you are friends or lovers. Hugo is
certainly one of those sweet, silent types who often steps back and watches
what everyone else is doing. He loves to take care of Crash and his teammates
too.
This was
a very sweet read about two people who are meant to be together, but
continuously question themselves and the situations that they are put in.
Having read previous books in the series might help with understanding who is
who but isn’t really necessary. If you like sweet MM books, then this is a read
for you!
ARC received for a
fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊
