*~*Love Note: Wes to Jamie – Him Series by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy*~*

Genre:   Contemporary Romance, M/M

They don’t play for the same team. Or do they?

Jamie Canning has never been able to figure out how he lost his closest friend. Four years ago, his tattooed, wise-cracking, rule-breaking roommate cut him off without an explanation. So what if things got a little weird on the last night of hockey camp the summer they were eighteen? It was just a little drunken foolishness. Nobody died.

Ryan Wesley’s biggest regret is coaxing his very straight friend into a bet that pushed the boundaries of their relationship. Now, with their college teams set to face off at the national championship, he’ll finally get a chance to apologize. But all it takes is one look at his longtime crush, and the ache is stronger than ever.

Jamie has waited a long time for answers, but walks away with only more questions—can one night of sex ruin a friendship? If not, how about six more weeks of it? When Wesley turns up to coach alongside Jamie for one more hot summer at camp, Jamie has a few things to discover about his old friend… and a big one to learn about himself.

Warning: contains sexual situations, skinnydipping, shenanigans in an SUV and proof that coming out to your family on social media is a dicey proposition.

 

 

Wes is absolutely adorable…I love his note!

Babe–

I followed all the guys into a card shop in Boston last week, because somebody realized that Valentine’s Day was around the corner, and none of ‘em wanted to be in the doghouse.

So I started looking at cards just to pass the time. I’d never bought anybody a Valentine before. There were some surprisingly queer-friendly choices. There is this one that says on the cover, “I love your face.” And when you open it: “Also, your butt.”

Tell me that’s not gay? C’mon.

So then I found this one with the snuggling cats on it. And, as you now know, the inscription is, “I want to spend all my lives with you.” Insert the eyeroll, right?

Well. It was time to go, so I got in line with the other guys and bought this card as a lark. I thought I’d give it to you ironically, because Valentine’s Day is for saps and men who need a piece of folded paper to make the wife happy.

Only here I am on Valentine’s Day, writing this out before I leave for the morning skate. And you’re still asleep in our bed, your face in the pillow. You look as snuggly as the cats on this card. And all I want to do is climb back into bed and hold you until you wake up and kiss me.

Yeah, okay. So it turns out this card isn’t ironic at all. Guess I’m not the hipster I thought I was. I love you, and I do want to spend all my lives with you. If that makes me a sap, I guess I can’t help it.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Jamie. I’ll be collecting my kisses later.

Love you,

Wes
