Three books worth comparing

Him

Compare another MM hockey relationship with a preexisting bond, rather than soccer co-captains negotiating new closeness.

Red, White & Royal Blue

Try public-facing men learning private trust, with political visibility instead of team leadership.

You & Me

Compare quieter everyday trust between adult men, centered on parenting and community rather than elite sport.

Follow the discovery route

The grumpy sunshine guide includes this book among other choices. Compare those options if its premise appeals but a limitation gives you pause. The Find a contrast in temperament that suits your reading mood explains the surrounding reading route and what to check before choosing.
