The New Guy by Sarina BowenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Gavin is a sports physiotherapist and single father after his husband tragically died. He's moved to Brooklyn with his daughter to make a fresh start and has been upfront with the team about his sexuality - so far they've been nothing but supportive. His younger sister is living with him in the apartment the team has put at his disposal, apparently they own a few buildings and rent out apartments to players and staff if required. When his sister offers to babysit, Gavin goes off to explore the neighbourhood and when he spots a sports bar decides a beer and some food might be a good idea.
Hudson Newgate is a bisexual ice-hockey player. Although a good player he has been traded by every team he's played for and his nickname is always 'The New Guy'. He tried to come out to his first team's management and got traded a few days later, since then he's learned his lesson and kept his mouth shut, especially since his agent (aka his father) has confirmed through his industry sources that this was the reason he was traded.
Hudson does everything right, eats clean, doesn't drink, focuses on the end goal of a long-term contract with a no-trade clause when he can finally be himself. One night he decides to go and watch the Brooklyn game at the local sports bar, where he almost hooks up with a cute guy, until on the way back to his place they discover they are next-door neighbours!!!
Close proximity, single dad m/m romance. Loved it and can't wait for the third book to be published.
