Role Model

Hockey, romance, apples, and puppies.

Reid’s latest features Troy Barrett traded to the worst team in the league after a huge scandal and a devastating break-up. Closeted and up to this point hidden in plain sight beside a loud homophobic linemate, Troy has been afraid for a long time. But Ottawa is a safer and more welcoming place than he expected—especially team social media manager Harris Drover. A lot of this story is really Troy trying to wrap his head around the fact that he is finally in a safe space to be himself, to grow, and to love. Also, Ilya being a strong Captain (but still Ilya), apples, and puppies. This was sweet and lovely and happily lacked the late act fight/calamity/misunderstanding.
