Cat's Review of King of the Crease (The Comebacks) by A.J. Truman and M.A. Wardell @ajtruman_author @mawardellauthor @neonrainbowarcreviews @tammystwocents X- @TTCBooksandmore

The team's new goalie is a secret prince. Red, white, and royal WTF?! 

As the Prince of Ardenia, I don’t want for anything – except freedom.

Freedom from bodyguards and media scrutiny. Freedom to love who I want without bringing shame to the throne.

So when I get a chance to live incognito while on a trip to America, I take it. It’ll be my royal rumspringa. I can be Nick, not Prince Nicholas.

Then I meet a plumber named Hank.

I’m instantly attracted – my kink for big-gutted American guys who drink beer fully activated. I join his local hockey team as their backup goalie…and secretly hope Hank and I can get freaky off the ice, too.

Yet in between one-on-one practices, wild bar crawls, and lazy afternoons texting about Christmas movies, our easy camaraderie deepens into crackling chemistry. The only thing standing in our way is the tiny matter of my true identity.

I’m due back in Ardenia on Christmas Eve, but the thought of getting on the palace jet without Hank makes me royally blue.

I’m not sure if the king — or the entire world — will get on board with the prince and the plumber. Can I get the crown and the guy?

I’m hoping for a Christmas miracle here.

King of the Crease is a funny, spicy MM romance featuring secret royalty, a lovable single dad, teammates-to-lovers magic, 90s references galore, and lots of Christmas charm. It’s book 3 in the Comebacks series but can be read as a standalone.

Cat gives this book 4 meows with a 3 purr Index...

It’s book 3 in the Comebacks series but can be read as a standalone but I feel you'd enjoy it more read in order to know the other characters. 

A few things I liked...the characters all of them, main, secondary and supporting are charming as all get out. And cute kids.

Usually, the royalty isn't high on my list as a favorite trope, but I adored Nick. AND last but not least though it's funny sweet and fluffy there is a slight bit of conflict (but isn't that true of all secret identities).

If you like funny, secret identities, a lovable single dad, teammates-to-lovers, 90s references galore, lots of Christmas charm, small town romance, older characters, royalty/ blue collar this is for you. 

M.A. Wardell lives near the ocean with his husband and cats. When he isn’t writing, he’s snuggling those cats, reading all the rom-coms, walking to unravel plot points, and taking long hot baths. Teacher of the Year is his fiction debut, and he’s plotting to play matchmaker again soon.
