Adrian Bradley's Best Mistake by Catherine CloudMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Adrian Bradley is an ice hockey player. After an amazing start as a rookie he was side-lined for months due to injury and now has to prove to his team that he's worth keeping on. The last thing he needs is for anyone (other than his sister) to find out he's gay. Be the first openly gay hockey player? Nope.
With his sights firmly set on reclaiming his place on the team, Adrian doesn't have time for other things, but he knows the team requires him to play nice, which is why he is with his teammates watching pop superstar Jason Rosa play a gig, even though his songs are most definitely not to his taste. The trouble is, Jason is a lifelong hockey fan of Adrian's team AND he's agreed to sing the national anthem at every game (tour schedule permitting). Moreover, at the very first game Jason rocks up in a team shirt, with Adrian's name and number on the back.
Now Jason is meeting the team for drinks after a game, inviting them to a club, and generally just being RIGHT THERE practically every second of every day and Adrian just can't concentrate.
Love this, the difference between Jason who isn't afraid to say he is gay, even if his record company would prefer the illusion he is straight, and Adrian who is terrified of telling anyone, even his close friends on the team.
Enough said the novel ends abruptly, its classic Catherine Cloud, which is a pity because I wanted to see what happened next.
