Rule #1: Never Accidentally Marry Your Teammate: A Fake Relationship MM Hockey Romance (Hockey Rules) Kindle Edition

3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars 391 ratings

Finn
I might have a reputation for partying, but I’ve outdone myself. After drunkenly proposing to my new teammate, Noah, during a wild night out in Vegas, I wake up with a ring on my finger, a husband by my side, and a colossal PR nightmare.
The only way to salvage our careers is to pretend the marriage was intentional. Noah plays along like a pro, and I move him into my Boston penthouse. He just got called up from the AHL, and I might cost him everything.
We’re stuck together for at least a year, navigating public appearances, playing hockey, and living together. In fact, this so doesn’t feel like pretend. But obviously, that’s impossible: we’re both straight. Aren’t we?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

When Portia is not writing, she is probably curling up with a good MM romance. She lives in a big city, within walking distance of a hockey arena. Sometimes she debates the merits of venturing out of her apartment to get coffee. On occasion she gallivants off for a beach getaway with her spouse, clutching her kindle.

Customers enjoy the storyline. They appreciate the characters and their banter. The book is described as a happy medium romance novel with sexy scenes and not too drawn-out conflicts. It starts out well with a new take on an old story.

What Happened in Vegas, Doesn't Stay in Vegas!
Rule #1: Never Accidentally Marry Your Teammate: A Fake Relationship MM Hockey Romance (Hockey Rules) by Portia Blake⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5I super adore Noah and Finn, they are so cute. Finn is just an adorable trouble maker, and my baby Noah is just the best! Portia you did it again, Rule #1 was just fantastic. I enjoyed this accidental Vegas marriage trope, I love how both Noah and Finn were easy to accept their new reality. Their chemistry is everything, it was nice to see how they went from idol -> teammate -> friend -> lover. The way Portia developed their relationship was really unique and easy to read. I trul;ly recommend The Hockey Rules Series. Especially to all my Hockey lovers!

    I loved this book. I really enjoyed the woke up in Vegas married trope. Finn and Noah do just that. Then they keep up the marriage to avoid PR problems for their careers and their hockey team.

    They went from being two straight guys to discovering they aren't so straight. But it takes a while for them to get to their hea because of a general lack of communication and making incorrect assumptions about how each feels. They make it, and they are a sweet couple who enjoy each other's company as well as being extremely attracted to each other and protective of each other. I'll be reading the other books in this series.

    When Noah’s dreams of being called up to the NHL, he thinks this is it. Especially when the team has someone he looks up to on it. Finn. But his start isn’t so great. Not when his teammates throw a party for him and one drinks causes him to be sick the next day on game day where he plays horribly. Things can’t get worse right? Finn feels terrible. He knows it is his fault that Noah was hungover. And the thing is, he really likes Noah. So his protective instincts come out and eventually leads them to another mistake. Getting a little too drunk in Vegas and getting married. But they can fix this, they just have to…well turns out they aren’t quick enough. And telling the truth is out of reach after everything that has happened. They’ll pay the happy couple for a year then divorce. Simple. But then feelings start to rise between the two. And they are learning about more about themselves than they ever thought could happen. For Noah, he has to start admitting to himself that he may have always liked men, but growing up where he was didn’t exactly give him a safe place to find out for sure. But what he has always felt toward Finn? It was definitely a crush and now it’s something more. But he worries that Finn won’t ever feel it toward him. Finn may have never found a guy to turn his head but Noah certainly has. And that’s fine with him. Because the more time he spends with Noah, the more he falls. But will Noah believe him if he admits this feels real? These two killed me on their communication! You just want to tell them to admit how they really feel toward one another and be happy! Because as a couple, they were adorable and just so sweet. A fun story to read and I’m looking forward to the next one!

    Great story. Love the characters. Enjoy their banter. Love the HEA. The spelling errors take away from it. Looks like autocorrect is not always your friend.

    First, I recommend reading Rule .5 first. I didn’t realize there was a prequel and felt I was missing something with a couple of the players.

    This was a sweet story of an up-and-comer falling for one of the stars of a pro hockey team. As could be expected with men in their 20s, the communication was bad but overall the relationship between Noah and Finn was sweet.

    It’s written in first person alternating between the two men and at first, I wasn’t a fan but it grew on me. I look forward to book 2 and the seeing what the team gets up to.

    This was an okay story. I'm truly glad I finished reading it though because they did get a happily ending. It just was slow moving. There was banter between the two main characters that was fun. But just a little bit too slow for my cup of tea.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Two golden retrievers in love
    Reviewed in Germany on December 29, 2024
    I'm somewhat conflicted about this book. On the one hand I love the " waking up married" trope and actually devoured the whole story in like one siting. On the other hand, having 2 eager to please and dumbly loyal golden retrievers for main characters was a recipe for constant self-blame and miscommunication that got old after a while. I guess it would have been different if we got more of both boys' backgrounds, like why Noah expected one type of response from his parents only for them to turn out totally different? What about Finn's family? What I'm trying to say is that I wanted a bit more substance for the MCs to understand why they acted like the way they did beyond they being designed as sweet dumb characters.

    Still, I did like the book because the flow of the story was smooth, with the miscommunication peaking a burst of conflict that was believable, and the characters were fun with lively personalities. It's a light read worth 4 Stars altogether but I wish it could be 5 stars.

    A lovely fake marriage story set in the world of professional ice hockey. Finn and Noah are secretly in love the whole time and really just want the other to be in love too. Through a few ups and downs they eventually end up at the same place. Looking forward to the next book.

    Sometimes you just want to jump into a book & slap the mc’s because they don’t communicate with each other which happens with Finn & Noah. Noah gets called up to the NHL & Finn accidentally gets him drunk the night before his first NHL game which is something he’ll never let down.
