Summary

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.

Steamy yet sincere

This was a lovely, layered story about two guys who couldn’t be more different to one another. They seem an unlikely pairing at first, yet as the story progresses, you come to realise that their differences are what make the relationship and the chemistry between them work. I also love that Zach’s character is neurodivergent-coded, without any specific labels used.

Jock/nerd cuteness

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.

A comfort read

I love the CU Hokey series and Saxon and Eden’s style of writing. The books are sweet and funny and I’ve read/listened to them multiple times.

Great Banter

Love this couple but the story dragged on a tiny bit for me.
But the banter between them was great.

Fantastic

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.

Loved this book.

I really liked the melding of two worlds; sport and academia and the unlikely growing attraction between two polar opposites. It’s well plotted and believable with many very beautiful moments. Can recommend if you want a kinda sappy but lovely MM romance.

Love and Ice Hockey!

A fun rip-roaring fast-paced story of opposite attraction. How I laughed at their dialogue and enjoyed their love. Two thumbs up!

Good

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 .
