When Ryan Wesley and Jamie Canning have a short-lived reunion four years after things got a little too close, it's clear the feelings between them haven't disappeared like magic. Wes is torn between wanting more from his friend, and knowing that Jamie could break his heart in an instant with a rejection. He believes his friend is straight. 
 Jamie wants to reconnect too, but his uncertainty goes deeper than Wes's. He gets to struggle with questions central to his sexual identity. It's a bit intimidating, but Jamie handles finding himself with a maturity that made me fall for him myself. I loved his interactions with Wes, his friends and family, especially how he treated his friend Holly. He's hot, he's introspective, and with Wes he finds something beautiful. 
 It was easy to get invested in Wes and Jamie's happiness. I loved their story and the hockey backdrop was perfect. 
 I love it when an author, or in this case authors, can write characters who are so clearly unique and identifiable that the dialogue is easy to follow. The writing here is tight and I couldn't stop reading. There's just so much to enjoy in HIM -- it's a wonderful friends to lovers story that covers a lot of ground and will make you want more by the time you get to the end.
