Time to Shine - by Rachel Reid (Paperback)

About the Book

"A merry and bright hockey romance about finding your place, finding your people and finding your way back to the one you love the most. For Landon Stackhouse, being called up from the Calgary farm team is exciting and terrifying, even if, as the backup goalie, he rarely leaves the bench. A quiet loner by nature, Landon knows he gives off strong "don't talk to me" vibes. The only player who doesn't seem to notice is Calgary's superstar young winger, Casey Hicks. Casey treats Landon like an old friend, even though they've only interacted briefly in the past. He's endlessly charming and completely laid-back in a way that Landon absolutely can't relate to. They couldn't have less in common, but Landon needs a place to live that's not a hotel room and Casey has just bought a massive house--and hates being alone. As roommates, Casey refuses to be defeated by Landon's one-word answers. As friends, Landon comes to notice a few things about Casey, like his wide, easy smile and sparkling green-blue eyes. Spending the holidays together only intensifies their bromance-turned-romance. But as the new year approaches, the countdown to the end of Landon's time in Calgary is on"--

Review Quotes

"Time to Shine is a boisterous romp about big, dumb, muscular people with big, dumb, muscular hearts. Reading this was like rolling around on an autumn lawn with a pack of rambunctious puppies." --The New York Times

"Reid shoots and scores with a heart-meltingly sweet romance centered on the simple joy in finding someone who loves you for the person you truly are and not the person you keep trying to become. As an added bonus, Reid includes love scenes guaranteed to thaw the ice on any hockey rink, making this a treat for sports-romance fans who enjoy some sensual heat with their slap shots."--Booklist

"Reid's winning formula of on-ice action and off-ice passion continues to work well, though longtime fans will find the relationship dynamics a bit familiar. Still, there's plenty to swoon over here."--Publishers Weekly
