Dakota Madison's 'Fire & Ice' series is set around the same university hockey team. It's a NA/new adult series, so the dynamics are all about young athletes balancing college life with sport. The team is a constant through four books, with each focusing on a different player.
The shorter timeline of a college career (four years) creates a natural, contained arc for the team as a whole. You see freshmen become seniors, which is a different kind of continuity than the potentially decade-spanning careers in pro hockey series.

Lurking this thread and taking notes. My TBR list is about to explode.

You might enjoy 'The Understatement of the Year' by Sarina Bowen. It's a college hockey romance with a heavy dose of second-chance and secret history. While they were once lovers, when the story picks up they are bitter rivals and estranged teammates. The 'rivalry' is deeply painful and personal, rooted in a shared past betrayal, which makes the emotional stakes incredibly high.

The Finnish series 'Bordertown' ('Sorjonen') is about a brilliant detective who moves to a quiet town near the Russian border, only to get involved in complex murder cases. Each season tends to focus on one major, intertwined mystery, often with a personal connection to the detective, Kari Sorjonen.
He has a Sherlock Holmes-like ability to notice details, but the show grounds him with family drama and the consequences of his work. The cases are dark and twisty, and the snowy, isolated setting adds to the mood. It's a great entry in the 'detective with a unique mind solves one big case per season' genre.

Tennis could be fantastic for this—the individual nature, the global travel, the rivalries, the mental stamina required. A slow-burn romance between two players on the circuit, or between a player and a coach, could have incredible tension. The sport provides natural separation and reunion points with tournaments. Has anyone come across a good MM tennis romance that doesn't trivialize the sport?

I’ll throw in a classic series that’s often forgotten: Marion Chesney’s 'Six Sisters' series. It’s a set of six novellas following the six daughters of a poor vicar as they make their way in the world. It’s very light, funny, and clean.
Chesney (also writing as M.C. Beaton) is known for her witty, cozy mysteries, and that tone carries over here. The stories are quick, charming, and full of period detail. You can easily read one in an afternoon. It’s not a deep generational saga, but it’s a lovely contained family series.
