Iced Out (Leighton U Book 1)

Product Information

There are 4 more books planned for this series, featuring some characters introduced in this volume (not all hockey, but all college MM sports romances, as far as I can tell), so I cannot wait! oak was openly gay but quinn had thought he was straight his whole life but as soon as he realized he liked oakley, he was all in for him 100% and would take whatever he could get.

They are hockey players in college who are forced to play alongside one another, which is proving quite difficult due to their intense animosity that originates from high school. They were in opposites in a lot of ways, but also had so much in common and needed someone they trusted to unburden their worries and secrets. I normally don’t have good luck with college sport romances because I find there’s never enough angst, and I’m constantly waiting for something to happen between the two MCs and I get bored. There’s not even a second for me to register what is happening when Quinton reels me back into him, and without hesitation, drags me in for a kiss.Golden boy Oakley has the team wrapped around his finger but not the coach, even though that is his uncle. So as they find a reason to spend more time together and are forced to get to know each other, their connection isn’t only in the bedroom.

Hello Christian Fox - I‘ve missed your voice in my ears :) This book was fantastic when I read it - but even better in audio. Although, I disliked some things, I also liked other, like the light banter between the MLs, some seriously hilarious scenes and happenings, like their crazy superstitions and their respective rituals. It’s more of a sketched style of artwork, the linework messy but the shading and depth created in it is impeccable. E. Ricci mid-level angst, some hard core "enemies to lovers-rivals on the same team-got to keep it secret-opposites attract" type vibes, it is game over, you had me at hello time 💙.Oakley is a Reed, yes he may get recognised by his last name, the same of his father and uncle who are ex-hockey players. I know this is enemies with benefits but like idk, I wanted more sweet moments like their ice skating date and the other date night. I loved how sweet and touching Quinton's journey of discovering his bisexuality was and how utterly romantic these two were when they were together.

This progression saw the transformation of animosity into desire, and that desire blossoming into a profound love. The tattooed, dark haired bad boy that drives a motorcycle x the golden boy with blond hair is my goddamn FAVORITE. If you're craving a bit of toecurling M/M, witty banter and split grin inducing cuteness, I highly recommend! Yet, days later Oakley is still thinking about the bad boy with a temper and his crazy idea is starting to hold merit. So what I’ve been looking forward to was an easy, hot (despite the ice 😬) enemies/rivals to lovers book I could listen to while driving, or while sweating on my sunbed, listening with my eyes closed.With these two not liking each other as much as they did, I really appreciated the superstition approach by the author a lot to get them down and dirty early despite their animosities.

This creates the enemies-with-benefits dynamic, which I was excited to read because I don't see this trope very often.Quinton is just as good as he is stats wise but he’s a full on rage ball and he’s known as the bad boy of hockey. One night, in the bathroom at a party, their tumultuous back and forth sees proving a point going a step too far and one of the men on their knees. Iced Out is the first in a five book stand-alone college sports romance series featuring two misunderstood rival teammates, snarky banter, and more secret spicy times than any audiobook should be filled with. The team isn't happy about having Quinton as captain, but when circumstances change and our supposed "enemies" hook up at a party unexpectedly, things begin to change for Quinton and Oakley, both off the ice and on the ice. I loved watching Oak and Quinn go from intense rivals/enemies to something neither of them expected.
