Summary

Two scarred souls finding love when they least expect it.

Harper

I wasn’t a keeper.

Guys just didn’t pick me, and after one too many threw me away, my heart couldn’t take it anymore.

When I was traded to the Buffalo Warriors, I knew things wouldn’t be any different.

Skate. Score goals. Work out. Repeat. That’s my life.

I’m living the dream by playing professional hockey, and I have some amazing friends.

I’m happy. Really, I am. Or at least I’m trying to be.

Until the night I run into Luca.

Luca

I had love once, only to have it ripped away when he married someone else.

Problem was, I never got my heart back.

I’ve built walls so high no one can touch me. I’m only interested in hookups, one and done.

And I can’t forget lacrosse, because it’s all I have.

I’m fine. Or at least I’m trying to be.

Until the night I run into Harper.

One chance encounter sparks a flame that consumes both men in the most delicious of ways. But when shadows from the past threaten to pull them apart, will they survive, or will their hearts be shattered again?

Crossed Sticks is a romance that’s anything but easy—and worth every moment. While the story is high on angst and deals with serious topics such as depression and anxiety, you can also expect witty banter, hilarious text conversations, public hookups, friends with benefits, grand romantic gestures, and exciting hockey scenes. Even better, there’s high heat, light kink with tons of dirty talk, found family, and a Happy Ever After that will leave you breathless.

Crossed Sticks is book one of an exciting new series of standalones, Buffalo Warriors Hockey.

Bruises and care for the win

These sportsmen have fractured hearts with gold to give to their one. I appreciate how vuneraeble they are with their wants and needs. But for me personally some of it came out of left field for me. Overall as always, this writing duo created a story that was well built and does not hang about if the mcs get each other. They weather their storms and come out stronger together at the other end.

The narrator was right for the story and I 'zoomed' through the audiobook.

Hot as fire!🔥

I think this is the hottest book I’ve read by this writing duo. These guys were burning up the sheets. Everything was going fine until a huge misunderstanding happened and they hit a rough patch. The story is pretty angsty but worth every bit of it. Alexander Cendese did a great job performing this audiobook. I’m looking forward to the next book in this series.
