About this listen

Foster:

"Look out for Zach, and don't hit on him." My brother's request sounds easy enough. Keep an eye out for his best friend on campus and keep my hands to myself. Easy. Even if Zach is a quintessential nerd, who I've always thought was cute, I don't have the time to think with my...stick. There's only one stick I should be focused on this year, and that's my hockey stick. My goal once I graduate is to get an NHL contract. The last thing I need is a distraction. On or off the ice. Only, keeping to the rules is harder than I thought it would be.

Zach:

People confuse me. And no one more than Foster Grant. I've barely spoken two words to him in the whole time I've known him, but the second I step foot on campus, he's impossible to shake. I can never anticipate his next move. And whenever we're together, my next move is a total mystery as well. I want to give in to him, but that might mean coming clean about something I've never been bothered about before. I'm still carrying my V-card. And I think it's time to turn it in.

Contains mature themes.

A sexy, low-angst jock-and-the-nerd/best-friend's-brother romance that's nothing you haven't read before. Zach is socially awkward, Foster the hugely popular captain of the hockey team; Zach is the best friend of Foster's brother Seth, who asks Foster to look out for Zach, who is just starting his MA program at the same university as Foster. They've both crushed on each other for years, but Zach thought Foster was straight - and anyway, what could a gorgeous guy who is always the centre of attention possibly see in a nerd who likes to fade into the background?

It's all light-hearted froth and fun, and watching the player falling hard for the least likely guy is always fun, but the best thing about it is the narration by Alexander Cendese and Iggy Toma (who also co-narrated Finley's Fake Boyfriend series. Alex Cendese makes for a perfect jock, all brash confidence and swagger, and Iggy Toma is equally well cast as the awkward, insecure Zach.

Nothing new to see here, but it's an easy, undemanding listen.

Good performances of a run-of-the-mill story

I loved this story of adorable characters finding the kind of love most of us hope for. I love the interconnectiveness of this hockey world and cried with joy when characters I loved in other books were mentioned. Beautiful narration as always.

Fantastic

Really enjoyed this lighthearted romance . Foster is asked by his twin to watch out for his best friend Zac but Foster has always liked Zac and his quirky ways so when things start to evolve can he make Zac realise he’s serious .

Sadenverse

Cute. MM hockey books seem to be the only New Adult book I don’t want to give up in the first chapter.

I picked this up because I was looking for more Sadenverse, they are all light and fun reads and I needed a brain off read to enjoy.
This book didn't disappoint.

I love a nerd/jock read and as is a theme in the Sadenverse sports books the jock in this book took the lead as he was the one ultra comfortable with his seggsuality.
