Blindside Hit Ch 2

ooooohhhhhhh shiiiiiiit, did you really just say that out loud, Tenny?!

Yep, you did.

HA!  YES!  CALLED IT! LOVE IT!

This really does read like fic, in the best way possible.  Or, a cross between a fic and a book.  Like if an angsty hockey fic and a good romance novel had a really cute baby.

OHMYGOD i love this team

i would die for them

AND THEY ALL SIGN yaaaas

Ok, they don’t like the coach either.  Good, I guess.

OOOoOoOoOoooo, enter Adam Caron

“Gosh, I love how impetuous he is,” Johnny said into his beer.  “That never backfires *ever*.”

Oh my god is adam flirting?  He is, and he’s drunk, and he’s just not any good at this!

oh, no, he’s just fine at this, never mind.  Good enough for Tenny, anyway!

If I had a pro hockey player’s salary, I too would put a minigolf course in my living room.

I wonder how many actual NHL players have stuff like that...

(side note- i’m sitting at the kitchen table, and both my dogs are laying on the bed staring at me and crying because they want me to come cuddle with them.)

I might love Adam even more than I love Tenny

Oh god they’re laughing during sex and they’re so wonderful and I know they have angst coming and and I just have a lot of feelings

Ok, I have to go to bed and I’ll probably keep reading and forget to do another one of these till I finish the whole book, so...

So far, I highly recommend Blindside Hit!!

Blindside Hit Ch 1 kinda liveblog

Jk, gotta download the kindle app.

Ok, up and running!

The cover is very cool.  Love the sweater design.

“A Toronto Wolverines Novel” have there been others?  Must have missed that if there are.  Oh, except this is her first hockey novel, so series! Yay!

Main character thinks he’s ugly.  Can I just take a moment to say how wonderful it is that fanfic is starting to influence mainstream books?  That first line, “Etienne Brideau was ugly.”  I feel like a critic might say it’s cliche, or that Gray cheated by jumping straight in with the YA angst, but you know what?  I paid for it, and so have a lot of other people.  I immediately know how to approach Etienne as a character, and I can relate to him too!  “Call me Ishmael” doesn’t do that.  Fine, Ishmael, how’s your self image? *snaps* I’m a busy lady! /rant

Omg I love him already.  Do I want to canoodle him or make him a PB&J?

I’m legit excited to see all the made up NHL teams.  So far we have the Seabirds and the Toronto Wolverines.

I already don’t like this coach.

And I already ship Liam and Johnny, I don’t care what Gray has to say about it.

A character that’s brown and disabled?  I must be dreaming. (Note, not the only or the first brown character, and I’m guessing not the last that has a disability)

Tenny is so cute as a nickname for Etienne!!!!!

Yeah I don’t like this coach...

I’m about to read Blindside Hit by Michaela Gray!

Imma kinda liveblog comment on it, at least till I get distracted and read the entire thing in one go.  I got it on Kindle and I’m reading it on my phone.  I’ve read a few of her books and a lot of her fic and loved all of it!  Ok, ice cream ready, phone ready, let’s go.
