Top Shelf (Love The Game)

Here's EM Lindsey's "Top Shelf." It's a novel in the multi-author series, Love The Game. 

["No one ever explained to me what to do when the man who took your virginity turns out to be the one in charge of your physical therapy.

NHL veteran Quinn Rhodes was supposed to be a one-time just a hookup who kisses like a dream and screws like a god.

Then, three weeks later, a freak accident threatens to destroy my debut NHL career before it begins. And if almost losing my spot on my team wasn't bad enough, I walk into my PT’s office and find him assigned to my recovery.

I can handle this, damn it. I can keep it professional.

And for a short while, it seems like Quinn’s willing to do the same. But it doesn’t take long for the two of us to shut our mouths and let our bodies do the talking.

If this was just physical, two guys scratching an itch, I could handle it. But deep down, I know there's more to it.

These stolen moments between us mean something. After all, Quinn doesn’t smile for just anyone, and the way he holds me when our hookups are over tells me that this thing between us doesn't have to end the moment my knee is healed.

The only question is, will either one of us be brave enough to take a shot on that goal?"]

These two met once before their massively cliched but entirely too perfect sexual experience. And that first time they met? Instant lust, instant chemistry, instant intrigue. The massively cliched but entirely too perfect sexual experience? More like falling in love in one afternoon, finding your perfect match, someone who understands you, sees you, hears you in ways that no one ever did.

Everything else? Fate stepping in and helping them along the way to their HEA.

They were perfect. Soft and warm and understanding. But it was also that perfect balance of spice. I loved them!!
