The Speed of Dark by Clayton Clifford Bye

They live together, are more in love than ever, and are devoted to each other, but the only people who are aware of the fact that they're partners are their respective families. Jamie is an assistant couch for a juniors team in Toronto while Wes is a rookie player in the National Hockey League. Jamie and Wes have graduated from college and are still very much basking in the sport they love most-hockey-only in very different roles. If you're planning on reading this book, I suggest that you read Him first-both because it establishes the evolution of Jamie and Wes's friendship and because it's simply a fabulous read. Plus, there are still several pronouns the authors can choose from should they heed what I expect will be a clamor for a third book in what is so far a duet.

After all, the first book could have ended the way it did, but we got a second book, and maybe, hopefully that happens once again this time around. I'm a wishful thinking, pessimistic realist, but I'm holding on to that bit of hope that we do still get more of Jamie Canning and Ryan Wesley sometime sooner or later. After having read both Him and Us in one sitting, I'm now left wondering if fans of the series will see another addition in the offing. I'm also admittedly clueless as to how Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy got together and decided to write, not just one, but now two books, but the writing and storytelling has been seamless, making it impossible on my end to tell how the writing duties were split up and who wrote what.

I'm not entirely sure if Him was ever meant to have a sequel, but I am not one to complain when the follow-up to a book I fell so hopelessly in love with is just as good as its predecessor.
