Even though Jess swears up and down that nothing is going to happen between them, she is There’s quite a bit of back and forth between Jess and Blake, and it seems like nothing will come of their relationship after all, but then Jess ends up getting into nursing school in Toronto, and naturally she’s over at her brother’s house often…as is Blake because he’s extremely social and also likes to live at Wes and Jamie’s house. Jess is still living in California (where Jamie grew up), and Blake is living in Toronto (obvi), so there’s really no reason for them to be thrown together ever again, except that Jess is planning Wes and Jamie’s wedding, and Blake is Wes’s best man. In the course of events of that story, we the readers have a little inkling that Blake and Jamie’s sister, Jess, get up to some hanky panky while they’re both taking care of an ailing Jamie. Blake plays a bigger role than Matt in Us because he moves into Wes and Jamie’s apartment building and forces them to befriend him.

In that story, Matt, who is older, finds out that his wife has filed for divorce, so he’s an emotional mess. In the second book in the Him series, Us, we get to know Blake Riley and Matt Eriksson, because they play on the same Toronto hockey team as Wes. WAGs is a spinoff series from Him, which is a pretty famous M/M hockey romance duology-plus-epilogue-sequel. Overall: Absolutely zero regrets about purchasing these books. The good news is, it’s not insurmountable. Plot: There’s just a lot of stuff getting in the way of happily ever afters for these folks. A lot.Ĭharacter Chemistry: “I like you, and I really like sex with you, but…a relationship?”
