Hockey Love Stories: What to Read Next

The recent success of a popular queer hockey romance series has left many fans eager for more. The show, which follows two hockey players navigating a secret relationship, has sparked a surge in interest for hockey-themed romance books. However, the sudden popularity has led to a shortage of physical copies of the book series that inspired the show.

Bookstore Shortages

Bookstores are struggling to keep up with the demand. One manager mentioned that they used to have plenty of copies on hand, but after the show's premiere, they sold out in just two days. Even online retailers are experiencing delays in shipping, with some orders not expected to arrive until January.
