Hockey Love Stories: What to Read Next

The recent success of a popular queer hockey romance series has left many fans eager for more. The show, which follows two hockey players navigating a secret relationship, has sparked a surge in interest for hockey-themed romance books. However, the sudden popularity has led to a shortage of physical copies of the book series that inspired the show. Bookstores are struggling to keep up with the demand. One manager mentioned that they used to have plenty of copies on hand, but after the show's premiere, they sold out in just two days. Even online retailers are experiencing delays in shipping, with some orders not expected to arrive until January. For those experiencing withdrawal symptoms from the show or the book, there are plenty of other hockey romance novels to explore. One recommendation is a straight romance that doesn't heavily feature hockey but focuses on characters in their late 30s dealing with personal issues. Another suggestion is a series about the first female NHL player, which has been compared to a canceled TV show.There are also options for those looking for a more humorous take on hockey romances. One series has been praised for its ability to make readers laugh out loud. Additionally, there are graphic novels that combine hockey with romance and comedy. For fans of queer hockey romances, there are several recommendations. One standalone book follows two ex-friends reconnecting over the years. Another series explores the impact of fame on a relationship and plays with the bad boy hockey player stereotype. Finally, for those looking for a silly and filthy read, there is a series that follows different queer hockey couples. With 10 books already published, there is plenty to keep readers entertained.
