Audiobook performed by Alastair Haynesbridge and Charlotte North My whole life, I've skated on charm, hockey intuition, and pure luck. Then my sister hits me with a slapshot of truth: I've been a terrible person and a crappy teammate. I was at dinner with her, trying to figure out how to turn my life around, when Rowena Brewer walked in off the street — soaking wet and desperate for a place to stay. A cosmic chance at redemption. Here was someone who needed help right when I needed to learn how to put my pro hockey perks to good use. Turns out, Rowena doesn't want to be anyone's project. She's working through real stuff — a deadly allergy, roommate drama, and coworkers who make the opposing penalty box look friendly. She's also super curvy, incredible at video games, and terrific at helping me cat-sit. Too bad she doesn't do casual. She fires all my cylinders. Rowena is navigating an autism diagnosis and rebuilding her entire life. The last thing she needs is a hockey player with a hero complex and a weird elk obsession. But I can't stop noticing she's the smartest, funniest, most honest person I've ever met. And when her garbage workplace puts her in a hospital bed, I'm ready to put my career on the line to get to her. What am I supposed to do with my growing obsession with my roommate? Why You'll Fall for Playing Games: Himbo Hockey Hero who sets out to do a good deed and accidentally falls completely, hopelessly in love. Forced Proximity & Caretaking: kitchen overhauls, custom video games, and couch gaming with a spectacularly ugly cat. Authentic Autistic Heroine: a brilliant woman who knows her worth, and the guy who learns what she needs to thrive. High Steam: frank conversations, negotiated boundaries, and a pilates reformer scene that will ruin you for gym equipment. Playing Games is a steamy, standalone hockey romance with a guaranteed HEA.
