Landon Stackhouse just got called up to Calgary and the NHL. He is a quiet, reserved, self-deprecating goalie who works hard but is kind of a loner. He has pain in his past that still casts a shadow on him. He just wants to do well with what time he has on this NHL team figuring it will not last long. 

Casey Hicks is a left winger and son of a hockey legend. He is outgoing, peppy, unfiltered, talkative, social, and tries hard to keep the team entertained and doing activities together. But he hates being alone especially at home in the dark.

So the perfect solution for Casey is to ask the new guy to move in. They are such opposites. Casey is just so needy for attention and Landon likes his space. Casey is a very sexual being and Landon is still figuring things out and is totally inexperienced. Their friendship, companionship, and feelings just kind of sneak up on them. Their crushes on each other are sweet. and they truly like to make the other happy. And the care and trust they show each other is very significant for both of them.

This is a super slow burn, heartfelt, grumpy-sunshine,  opposites-attract, roommates-to-lovers, hockey romance. The characters have layers to them. and some personal issues to deal with. Landon especially has some personal growth and healing to do and his future is the most unpredictable. And they are in a situation that is out of their control.  My heart just broke for these guys at times, but there are sweet, fun, and tender times too. But all along I was rooting for them to win on and off the ice.
