Synopsis (Goodreads):
One drunken night and one case of mistaken identity turns a friendship inside out...

You’ve seen the hockey twins around campus--they look identical, but you can tell them apart by their actions. Patrick is the one who’s busy charming women. Paxton is the one in the library.

Until one night when Paxton parties a little harder than usual. Next thing he knows, he’s waking up naked next to Naomi, the girl of his dreams. He bares his heart before an awful realization sets in. He’s not the twin she thought he was...

Naomi is the only child of a hockey legend. Partying hard is the best way she knows how to rebel against her controlling father. After a particularly crazy night, she realizes her big mistake. Her hookup isn’t the guy she’s been crushing on. It’s Paxton, her friend, the guy who gets her, who she can always count on. The guy she’d never want to hurt. And yet, the sex was good. Better than good.

Now she’s wondering if the wrong twin might be the right one after all . . .
Thoughts on Gametime: Okay. The more studious of the twins is up and he's...got a lot going on. Like hooking up with the girl he's had his eye on for ages only to find out she thought he was his brother. OUCH. And dealing with his father. And wondering how things are going to change when he and Patrick go to their separate teams.

The plus side? Paxton and Naomi were friends long before their messy hookup. Which sounds like it could be a recipe for disaster, but they had a good foundation to build on. Even with the messiness. Also on the plus side, Pax has a chance to step out of his twin's shadow. Which causes its own set of issues because Patrick is used to being the one who shines. But with the two of them going to different professional teams, it's also needed.

On the relationship front, Pax and Naomi are good together. You know, once they get over the painful hump of the mistaken identity thing. They both have parental issues. They get one another in the best way. They just...fit.

Some competitive sibling spirit, more than a few steamy kisses, a guy who's looking toward the future, and a lady who didn't know what she wanted until she accidentally hooked up with him. *thumbs up*
