Making Time: A Queer Hockey Romance

Things I absolutely loved: Jamie's mustache (feral for it) 🥵 Rowan (such a sweetie) 😭 That lavender beanie 🤩 The lace 🥵 Just enough spice, and when that spice hits, it really hits! Sometimes when you read a book, it leaves you wanting more and makes a lasting impression. In life, we all aspire to have someone like Jamie. This whole book, from beginning to end, was wonderful. It's nice to see Tyler peel back his layers ever so carefully for someone he can see himself with for the long haul. The writing in this book was A+. And Rowan, he melted my heart, especially when he took to Jamie. And that scene when he held Jamie's hand for the first time 😭 I could sit here and talk all day about this book. 😁 And here's hoping I'd love to see a sequel to this book, just to see how Jamie, Tyler, and Rowan are making out in their lives.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this author (had not heard of ) and took a chance. I was totally captivated by the way she captured what the actual reality of dating when you have so many obligations -- career, single parenthood, just living to survive (either mentally or physically - both are in here!). It was definitely worth the risk! Would like to see more of the Muskies.....there HAS TO BE a story between the rookies and I NEED IT!!

This was way too adorable. An easy, light, cute read.

I found Making Time UN-PUT-DOWNABLE. You will fall in love with every character Taylor writes — not just our leading dudes, but Rowan, all the Muskies, Sharpie, everyone! I think what makes Taylor’s books so enjoyable is how richly layered and detailed every interaction and every scene is. Rarely do I find myself playing a book out like a movie in my head, but the world Taylor creates is so fun to step into. Really a lovely, lovely, cozy, delightful read.

A single dad and found family, both done in the absolute best way. Jamie is newly promoted Captain of his pro hockey team, and he cannot stop putting pressure on himself. After a bad game, a fight he shouldn't had started, and a hand injury keeping him off the ice, he ends up drunk and fighting a snowman in a random front yard. Tyler is just trying to get a drink of water after his son woke him up in the middle of the night and hears a noise outside, finding a man fighting the snowman on his lawn. A shout, a layer of ice, and a knocked out man makes Tyler jump into action and take him to the hospital. After a meet chaos like that, Jamie has to thank the unknown man for taking care of him. He's officially introduced to Tyler and his son, Rowan. After finding out he's living in student housing but it's not the ideal situation for a child, Jamie calls his moms to see if their second unit is still up for rent. Jamie and Tyler form a friendship, with Rowan forming his own with Jamie, his new hockey player best friend. The three of them are in for a journey, with tons of chaos, but also love. When I say I love single dad romance, I mean this. A romance that includes the child every step of the way. A father who cares so much for his son he would do anything for him, and he'll always put him first. A partner who sees that and has no problem falling second (or third) to the kid. A friendship between the partner and the kid. This is only done even better by the found family so…
