Book cover: Attractive, dark-haired man looking pensively to the side.
The Fall by #TalBauer is writing at its finest. I don't read sports #mmromance, but I read this one based on the author. It's long, emotional, complex; a story of two hockey players bound by a transcendent love beyond time & space; destined for each other. Well-crafted w/a hard-won HEA. #booksky
Book title: The Quarterback
In honor of the New York Giant's slaying the demon that are the Eagles on Thursday night, I indulged in this delicious sexual awakening football story. The smut is 🔥 and the feels are 🫠. Tal Bauer is absolutely a Great of the genre. 🌶️ #talbauer
I’m on page 200 and only 24% of the way done! I am shocked. Floored. No wonder this book is 800 pages long obsessed. Hooked. #booksky #TalBauer #TheFall
Big feelings in this surprising hockey-amnesia romance by #TalBauer sketched in big, dramatic strokes 🥰
High angst, totally romantic and with the perfect HEA. A great weekend treat📚❣️
Love requires active participation: gestures, sacrifices, communication, and effort. It’s dynamic, not static! #talbauer #ascendent #MM
Interlude captures Jack and Ethan’s first Christmas with aching tenderness and raw frustration. Sweet, stolen moments collide with the pain of separation. Read this right after Enemies of the State—it’s the emotional breath you need.
#TalBauer #InterludeFirstNoel #JackAndEthan #MMRomance
Enemy Within is not a gentle goodbye—it’s a bullet-riddled, twist-packed, adrenaline-fueled finale. Jack and Ethan barely survive as chaos closes in from every angle. Brutal, brilliant, and emotionally devastating. I need therapy.

I think it's time to reread Tal Bauer's "Gravity" and "The Rest of the Story". As a little treat for me. I deserve it. *nods firmly* #booksky #rereads #favorites #top10 #talbauer #gravity #therestofthestory
A political thriller full of emotional damage, impossible choices, and twists that twist the twists. Jack and Ethan’s love is tested at every turn. Tal Bauer does it again—tense, romantic, and unforgettable. I couldn’t look away.

My adorably misguided boyfriend told his mom that I read a lot. Now she wants to know what I read. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 😳

I feel terrible today.
Time to reread Tal Bauer's "Gravity"! That sounds wonderfully perfect. Who knew a HOCKEY ROMANCE would resonate like this? #booksky #mmromance #reread #gravity #talbauer
Quote from "Gravity" by Tal Bauer: This is the man I have been missing. Not my hero. Not the man from the posters on my teenage walls. The REAL Bryce, the man from midnights and empty drives and lonely rivers, and the man who looked me in the eyes and dared to risk everything because, somehow, I made his heart beat faster.
When the world is going to hell in a handbasket it helps to read something beautiful and uplifting and poetic. So here. *swoon*

"Tabernak," I groan. In English, profanities arise from body functions. Shit. Fuck. Among the French Canadians here in Quebec, most profanities are sacres, and they arose out of old nineteenth century frustrations with the Catholic Church in the province. Tabernak. Tabernacle. Calisse. Chalise. Esti. Host. Oui, that host. Leave it to us Quebecois to turn the sacraments of the church into prolific curses.
I love learning new-to-me info!

"I have to do everything the hard way. It hurt more to stay than to flee, so of course, I stayed. Barely breathed in case the rise of my chest would squish Shea or make him uncomfortable. Never mind that we'd slept like this all night. I wasn't capable of full thoughts yet. Two and two were making static. My mind was a seashell, nothing but emptiness spiraling on itself with a roar."
Yes, I'm rereading. Because this book is AMAZING. The descriptions! And the pining! I'm a sucker for pining.

"Time seemed to crawl, then move backward. I never knew a day could last so long. Or a minute, or an hour, or waiting for warm up to be over or for a game to start. I set a countdown timer on my phone and watched the seconds tick to make sure the world hadn't actually stopped turning."
When you're waiting for something amazing...
From "The Rest of the Story" by Tal Bauer. #bookquotes #mmromance #therestofthestory #talbauer
"On a good day, I can string together a handful of words, form a few coherent sentences. Get me talking about hockey and I can sound somewhat intelligent. Put me on the front porch in the dark, looking at the guy I won't admit that I feel some kind of way about? There wasn't a single word in the universe coming out of my lips.

Reading The Jock by Tal Bauer. He always hits me in the feels, so IDK why I'm surprised my heart is in a freaking garbage disposal.
