Epic

by Sarina Bowen

2020

Jamie and Wes have built a happy life together in Toronto, until a career opportunity threatens to change the balance. It is a short but meaningful next chapter for their relationship.

Series background & context

The Him series is built around Jamie Canning and Ryan Wesley, two hockey players whose history goes back to a summer hockey camp and one friendship-changing night they never really dealt with. That backstory gives the series its pull right away. These are not strangers meeting cute. These are people who already matter to each other, which makes every missed chance and every honest conversation hit harder.

Him starts with reunion energy. Jamie wants answers. Wes wants another chance. They are older now, playing for rival college teams, but the feelings they never sorted out are still sitting there. When they end up coaching together at camp again, the series gets to do what it does best: turn old friendship into real intimacy.

Then it grows up with them.

Us moves the story into adulthood, pro hockey, and the strain of having a relationship that feels solid in private but complicated in public. Epic works as a shorter follow-up, showing that even after a couple gets together, life can still throw career questions and emotional curveballs at them.

What makes this series stand out is how much room it gives the relationship after the first big shift. The question is not only will they get together. It is also what happens after that, when work, media, family, and ambition all keep pressing in. That makes the books feel richer than a simple one-book arc.

The tone is sexy, funny, and sincere. There is a lot of banter, a lot of hockey, and a lot of tenderness once the characters stop pretending they do not know what is happening between them.

If you want a romance series that treats the couple as the center of the story, not just the setup for a happily-ever-after, Him delivers that really well.
