Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors as a reader you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Cait Nary!
Writes:
I write character-driven M/M hockey romance that’s not scared to tackle the darker side of hockey culture. As a hockey fan with her eyes open to the sport’s shortcomings, I wanted to write a book that grappled with the challenges of falling in love in an environment that is profoundly heteronormative and steeped in toxic masculinity. In SEASON’S CHANGE, Olly and Benji spend all their time together—on the ice, in the locker room, in their shared apartment—and learn that ignoring their unspoken feelings isn’t an option.
About:
A Southerner who somehow managed to stumble my way into hockey fandom, my interests include yelling “Shoot!” at the Philadelphia Flyers; cheering for whoever is playing against the Washington Capitals at my closest geographic hockey arena; and refusing to learn how to interpret advanced hockey analytics. I’m a big fan of arena-sized light beers and collecting more hockey-themed snapbacks than I will ever be able to wear.
What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:
Give SEASON’S CHANGE a shot if you:
- Prefer your hockey romances to be heavy on the hockey, and be grounded in hockey culture
- Love seeing hockey teams become found family
- Enjoy yelling “JUST KISS ALREADY” at the slow-burn romance currently open your reading device of choice
- Would like to know how many times two professional athletes can manufacture “there’s only one bed!” scarcity when there is literally, not one single time, only one bed
What to expect if we're compatible:
My readers can rely on me to provide:
- Thoughtful, character-driven romance
- A balance of humor and heart-wrenching
- Main characters with lives, histories, and relationships outside of their romantic arcs
- Outstanding supporting casts
- Pictures of my dog Daisy’s very floppy ears interspersed with hockey memes, if you follow me on Twitter
Trade Season #1
A veteran hockey player and a rookie can't get away from each other—or their own desires—in this sexy, heartfelt opposites-attract hockey romance.
Olly Jarvinen has a long way to go. He’s got a fresh start playing for a new team, but getting his hockey career back on track is going to take more than a change of scenery. He’s got to shut his past out and focus. On the game, not on his rookie roommate and his annoyingly sunny disposition—and annoyingly distracting good looks.
All Benji Bryzinski ever wanted was to play in the big leagues, and he’s not going to waste one single second of his rookie season. Yoga, kale smoothies and guided meditation help keep his head in the game. But his roommate keeps knocking him off track. Maybe it’s just that Olly is a grumpy bastard. Or maybe it’s something else, something Benji doesn’t have a name for yet.
Olly and Benji spend all their time together—on the ice, in the locker room, in their apartment—and ignoring their unspoken feelings isn’t making them go away. Acting on attraction is one thing, but turning a season’s fling into forever would mean facing the past—and redefining the future.
