Ace
Being in a dry spell sucks. Not my hockey game, my love life. My friends decide it’s time to fix it. So they drag me out, dressed to impress. Then I see him—exactly my type, all smoldering eyes and a slender body that’s got me forgetting how to breathe. When our hookup leads to a connection, he gives me his number and I can’t believe my luck. Then… he ghosts me. Out of nowhere. Why?
Zoma
All I wanted was a quick hookup to take the edge off. No complications, no strings. In walks this guy. He’s massive and sweet. Plus, he’s got a way of making me feel safe. I think he could be more. Then I find out he’s a goalie. I’ve been down this road before, and still bear the scars. The last time I fell for a hockey player, I gave him everything and he left me shattered.
No, I’ll focus on my figure skating competitions and the kids I train. It’s easier. But Ace keeps showing up, all broad shoulders and an infuriatingly irresistible, aw-shucks smile. How am I supposed, to guard my heart when he refuses to give up on me?
‘Spinning to the Goal’ is a remarkable addition to the ‘Desert Ice Hockey’ series, seamlessly continuing the stories of our favorite queer college hockey players known as the Squad. With this fourth installment, we dive into the lives of Ace and Zuma, where love and ambition intertwine on the icy rinks.
The heartwarming narrative revolves around Ace, whose dream is to make it to the NHL. Unlike many stories that tackle, heavy issues, this tale allows us to savor a relationship free from the strains of financial troubles or family acceptance. Instead, the main conflict arises from Zuma’s ex-boyfriend and Ace’s aspirations of landing a coveted position on the team he desires. This light-hearted tension paves the way for a delightful exploration of burgeoning love.
What makes ‘Spinning to the Goal’ truly special is its focus on the tender moments that help Ace and Zuma grow closer, culminating in beautiful confessions of love. Readers will appreciate how their relationship develops organically, filled with passion and warmth. With engaging characters and steamy encounters, this book promises to deliver a satisfying experience for fans of the series.
‘Spinning to the Goal’ is a delightful read, blending sports, romance, and hope into an enchanting story that resonates with the pursuit of happiness.
About The Author
Christie Gordon started writing gay and MM romance books after accidentally finding Yaoi fanfiction and falling in love with it. I’ve always had stories in my head and enjoyed writing, so I decided to try my hand at the genre and took up fiction writing classes at a local community college.
I published my first MM romance book with eXtasy Books back in 2009. I always follow my muses wherever they take me, writing a mixture of paranormal, historical, and contemporary romances. I enjoy writing about men discovering themselves, overcoming obstacles, and finding love in the process, along with a happy ending.
My day job is in the high-tech industry, and I have a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and a Master’s in Business Administration. I currently live in the Phoenix, Arizona metro area but I have also lived in the Bay Area of California and grew up in Minnesota. If I’m not writing, I watch boys love dramas or create digital artwork. I’m also a mother of two young adult sons, whose antics keep me on my toes. My one-eyed rescue pug is always by my side, snoring the day away.
