A fun, steamy, quick read!

Not as much interaction with the Slayers hockey team as the other books, but still the same great Mira Lyn Kelly humor and heart!

Trevor and Cam’s story may have been a short story, but it packed enough emotions that my heart felt it was a full length novel. The pain that these two put themselves through by denying what they wanted for so long hurt my heart for them and had me devouring every single page. When Cam heads back to the town where his first heartbreak happened he thought it would be easy to stay away and never have to cross paths with Trevor, but fate always is a tricky thing. They both fight what they want because the inevitable heartbreak that would surely follow would be even worse all these years later but the chemistry and love is still there. They keep circling each other only to realize they can’t fight what they have which will lead to heartache or so they think. I loved every second with these two as they discover new feelings that are more intense than the old ones they never got over and the anticipation of how it would all play out. I could spend more time with these two and it would still not feel like enough but what they shared with us was still perfection.

Trevor just wrapped up a season with the Chicago Slayers, and thought life couldn’t be better…..then his boyfriend ends their super secret relationship. Packing up his broken heart he heads for his hometown. First off, I love how Mira Lynn described this lovely little lakeside town. Which by the way reminds me so much of quiet little sleepy lakeside towns in Minnesota!
Cam thought that Trevor was just part of his past, but when he blows into town he is sort of thrown for a loop! He has always had a thing for Trevor, but his life is in his quiet little hometown. Cam tries to stick to his plan but of course that doesn’t work as Trevor seems to always be there. I love how this novella progressed. It is clear that the pair had some shared history, but both have grown and changed in the years that they’ve been apart. This pair have an amazing spark, and it is a miracle they could keep their hands off one another for a second when they are together. The best way that I can describe Cam and Trevor is they are both sweet gooey cinnamon roll characters that are not afraid of emotions…and with a little encouragement they share those emotions. I loved Cam and Trevor and hope that we get to see more and more of them in the future because they are so amazing! This novella is a perfect glimpse into Mira Lynn Kelly’s hockey romance series. This book is full heart and needs to be on your Kindle ASAP!

Dirty Dare is a novella in the Slayers Hockey series. This book is short and sweet and I loved every moment of it. This book features Trevor and Cam.

When Trevor returns to town sparks fly between him and Cam again, but they went through some hard times in the past. With secrets and emotions, they both have some things to go through.

I loved this little story. It was sweet. How the characters felt for the other one. I can't wait to read more of this series.

Trevor and Cam were dared to kiss back in highschool and neither one has been able to forget it, even four years later. Now Trevor is back in town and sees Cam at a get-together and the two can't stop thinking about each other.

I really enjoyed this novela. It is a fast read without feeling like anything important is missing. I loved how you could feel the emotions between Trevor and Cam. They get their second chance at love and it's adorable and everything I was hoping it would be.

The only thing I didn't like, and I'm not taking a star off because it's not something the author did, is that I kept getting the two main characters confused. This is my first MM book, but I also wouldn't let that deter me from reading another.

This was a nice little surprise while we wait for Boomer's book! I really (really, really) hope we get to see more of Trevor and Cam!

THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF:  You' think you might be interested in mm romance - this would be a good starter!

 This was a cute, lovely second chance short novella!!!

The story of Trevor and Cam dates back to when they had an encounter at their graduation party. Now, four years later, Trevor is back in his small town, and upon reuniting with Cam, he sees that all the feelings are still there. As it's a short book, everything happens quickly, but that doesn't make it any less charming. The story of these two was lovely to read, and since they already had a history, it didn't feel forced at all. Now I just want to know more about them because I loved the chemistry between them so much!!!

Thanks to the author & Wordsmith Publicity for the e-arc in exchange for my honest review!!
