Riding the Pine — RM Neill

MM hockey romance + secret mascot identity + two men who absolutely cannot keep their hands off each other.

Ben (yoga/pole teacher + secret mascot) meets Lukas (hockey player with soft golden-retriever energy). The chemistry? Instant. The sneaking around? Not about shame—just a ridiculous mascot contract and a beaver suit with a detachable tail.

✅ supportive relationship

✅ mascot chaos (including an accidental spanking… yes)

✅ low angst, high spice, big heart

⭐ 4 stars

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ spice

Tropes: sports romance • secret identity • work connection

Pro: Lukas cheering on his boyfriend like he’s his biggest flex.

Con: Christine’s subplot needed more explanation.

... Read moreRiding the Pine offers a delightful blend of sports romance and secret identity tropes which resonates well with readers looking for both heartfelt connection and light-hearted fun. The unique angle of a secret mascot identity adds a fresh layer of playful tension to the classic romantic storyline, making it stand out in the MM romance genre. The chemistry between Ben, who juggles being a yoga and pole teacher with his role as the beaver mascot, and Lukas, whose soft golden-retriever-like personality brings warmth and sincerity, creates an engaging dynamic that balances passion with humor. The mascot chaos scenes, including an unexpected spanking, contribute to both the whimsy and spice of the story, fulfilling the readers' appetite for steamy romance without heavy angst. This choice caters well to audiences seeking an uplifting narrative with emotional support and genuine connection, reflecting modern relationship values. Additionally, the inclusion of workplace connection and the challenges of maintaining secrecy under a mascot contract add realistic stakes, making the sneaking around feel fun rather than shameful or stressful. The subtle yet meaningful portrayal of Lukas cheering on Ben highlights healthy support in relationships, enhancing the story's authenticity and emotional appeal. While the subplot involving Christine may have left some questions unanswered, it provides an opportunity for deeper exploration in possible sequels or companion stories, giving readers something to anticipate. The release timing, hinted by the OCR text mentioning November 13, aligns well with sports seasons and holiday reading periods, potentially increasing its attractiveness for seasonal reading lists. With available formats on Amazon Kindle and Kindle Unlimited, accessibility is also convenient for e-readers. For readers who enjoy sports-themed MM romance with a blend of fun, spice, and heart, Riding the Pine is a must-read. The story exemplifies how combining unique character professions and secret identities can elevate romance plots, offering more than just the usual athletic rivalry or championship-driven narratives.
