That is until Hunter Lacey proves they aren’t as impossible as Bryce thought. It’s all the dreams that are within his grasp, but also those he keeps in his heart because they will always be out of reach. But Bryce’s dreams, questions and fears – about wanting a life partner, about his sexuality, and about his responsibility to lead his team of brothers to a Stanley Cup victory – live in those black holes he sees when he stares into the overhead lights in the arena and then shuts his eyes to let his mind wander.
This is his family, and hockey is his life. Bryce Michel, considered the best and the brightest of the NHL and pegged as “the next Great One”, feels the pull of responsibility for his team’s success and the individual successes of each and every one of its players. Here, the title of Bauer’s latest work, Gravity, encapsulates the story he tells. **Gravity is an MM romance featuring bi/gay awakening, friends to lovers, team shenanigans, fast-paced hockey, ice-melting sizzle, and swoony Québécois love songs.**įew authors can wield a metaphor as descriptively and impactfully as Tal Bauer. Then Bryce’s lips land on mine, and the world turns upside down. Saying hello to Bryce turns into hours spent together on the ice, and then an invite to dinner, and then days at each other’s side. And there’s my hero: Bryce Michel, league superstar. I never thought I’d be invited to the All-Star Weekend, but here I am. Look inside myself? Lotta beer and burgers there. I’m just trying to keep my head up and get through each day, until this wild ride comes to an end.ĭeep thinking isn’t really my thing. Good enough to be drafted into the NHL, and I’ve been on the roster for the past two years, but I’ll never make the Hall of Fame. I’m a middle-of-the-road, nothing-special hockey player. So why am I falling head over heels at the NHL’s All-Star Weekend? Like how a man’s lips might taste, or how his body might feel in my arms. I’m thinking dangerous thoughts, and dreaming about impossible things. I’m shattering records and packing arenas every night, and I’ve promised my team: we’re going to win the Stanley Cup this year.īut I’m keeping big secrets.
This game pulled me from my tiny Quebec hometown all the way to the NHL, and now? I’m the number one player in the league.
