Recs if you like Game Misconduct (Penalty Box, #1)...

Are you tired of how white MM sports romance is?? Gather round, homos!

🤎At least one of the MMCs is a person of colour 🤎

*includes bi & pan characters and everyone under the queer & trans umbrella

Please let me know if there are any I should add.

Exactly what it says! Done watching Heated Rivalry? Waiting for the rest of the Game Changers books to come in at the library? I've got you covered!

Also a good list if you're dipping your toe into thinking about romance as 'real' reading - these books will give you nuance, social justice, magic systems, empowerment, and all of them will give you supportive queer love and nice warm feels. Not all sports, though there's many of those in here. Welcome to reading romance, friends!

Queer romance set in, on, around, or a stone's-throw-away-from a hockey rink. Pro-level, Ivy league or Rec-level, we don't discriminate here.

Whether it's about the romance or the sport or both, these books at the very least contain characters who practice and/or care about sports, are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and possibly do the kissy

mlm hockey romances that are actually good and not just smut or one dimensional characters

You love hockey romance, but are tired of seeing the same books recommend over and over? You want to diversify your reading and read more disabled, fat, BIPOC and queer stories? I have some recs for you! (A lot of these are from talk_about_swoon on Instagram)

If like most people, you’ve read Heated Rivalry and are craving more, here is a big list of mlm hockey romances!

Seeing any books or series you’d like added? Suggestions are more than welcome!

Please note i have not read most of these, so i cannot tell you the tropes or content warnings. I do believe nearly all of these have smut.

You’ve heated and reheated the rivalry, and now it’s time for us to talk about what you should read between now and Season 2. This isn't just about reading more hockey romance! W'ere filling your TBR pile with books that deliver the same kind of emotions.

Basically, books with hockey and boys kissing boys.

Romance novels in which kissing only happens after the characters have already had sex. Because who doesn't like a good "I don't kiss" trope. 💃

Updating as I remember more titles. Suggestions welcome!
