Book Description
A funny and spicy MM hockey romance about finding your family and yourself while falling in love with your best friend.
Eli Kalias has a promising future with the Grand Marquee Manticores as their primary goalie, and after two years with the AHL, he’s finally starting to feel confident and comfortable in his role. That is until his best friend kisses him at a New Year’s Eve party and throws him for a loop.
Ash Meyers is the impulsive party boy and also the best forward the team has had in years. Under the surface, he worries he’ll never be enough—not for his team, not for his friends, and definitely not for Eli. Yet, he can’t stop himself from pursuing something more with his best friend.
As they go from friends to more over the course of a year, Ash and Eli realize that falling in love might be more challenging than winning the playoffs. Will they let their careers get in the way of their happiness?
Bar Down is the second book in the Grand Marquee Manticores series of interconnected standalones.

My Thoughts
Stef C.R.'s Bar Down, the second book in the Grand Marquee Manticores series, is a fantastic hockey romance that will hook you from the start. This spicy and funny story follows best friends-turned-lovers Eli Kalias and Ash Meyers, as they navigate their careers, their team, and their feelings for each other.
Eli, the team's reliable goalie, finds his world turned upside down after a New Year's Eve kiss from his best friend. Ash, the team's charismatic star forward, struggles with his own insecurities while trying to convince Eli that they could be more than just friends. Their journey from friends to lovers is filled with humor, heat, and a healthy dose of angst that will keep you invested in their story.
The dual points of view and dual timelines are a perfect fit, providing depth and context without feeling rushed. It's a character-driven narrative that feels reminiscent of popular titles like Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy's Him. You'll quickly fall for Ash's lovable "cinnamon roll" personality and root for him and the confident Eli to find their way to a happily ever after.
Bar Down expertly explores themes of identity, family, and finding your place in the world. The romance is sweet and genuine, with just the right amount of spice that never feels repetitive. With top-notch narration from Jonathan Lake and Simon Dornet, this is a must-read for fans of hockey romances and emotional, character-focused stories.
