Curious about a book I’ve just started reading…
I’ve just started reading “Ill Equipped” by AJ Lange, and I’m getting VERY big Check Please vibes - and I’m still in chapter 1.
Wondering if anyone else has read it?
It feels very classic CP so far: main character Cam (Canadian) plays for an NHL team (Manchester Storm), goes to a club after a game in Vegas and hooks up with Elliot, who is from the south but is currently at college in Massachusetts, and he plays on their hockey team.
They wake up the morning after the hookup to discover they’d decided to get married during the night.
And that’s all so far…
EDIT: I’m gonna update this as I go as more similarities pop up…
Elliot is called “Chick” by his college hockey team because he’s the smallest
Cam is known as “The Prince”
Elliot is currently having a conversation with a pair of his teammates: “one tall and blonde, one dark-skinned and perhaps too flirty” (ransom and holster?)
Elliot cooks for his teammates
There’s also a Kent-style character, Jesse, Cam’s ex who also plays hockey and lives in Vegas
Ok so I’ve read a LOT of CP fic, and I swear I’ve already read this over on AO3.
The only CP fic that I’m aware of being published was “Like Real People Do” (pretty sure that’s its name…), so it’s quite possible this is a reworked CP fic…
