About this listen

Brody’s got enough on his plate.

Recovering from a knee injury he hopes won’t keep him off the ice. His team, the Portland University Evergreens, have a brand new coach, and he’s hoping to impress the legendary leader. Plus, he's got to make a decision once and for all about playing professional hockey or using his love of science to go a totally different direction.

The last thing he needs is a sexual awakening at the large, calloused hands of his football player roommate.

Dean is big and brawny and taciturn, but he doesn’t need to words to woo Brody. He wants Dean, even if he thought he was straight. And Dean? Doesn’t matter that he’s never hooked up with a guy before, either.

They’re discovering new pleasures every night, while pretending during the day that they’re just roommates.

Except the heat burns so hot between them, it doesn’t just melt all the ice on Brody’s rink, it melts all his beliefs about who he is and what he wants.

But even more, it destroys the lie that he can’t fall hard for a guy. Because Brody is falling hard for Dean, and he discovers he’s not alone.

Story of Brody and Dean

This is a roommates to more college sports romance, featuring Brody and Dean, and is book one in the Portland Evergreens series.

Brody arrives at his new apartment expecting to see his best friend, Ramsey, but he finds Dean instead. Shocked an understatement but Brody soon realises it’s for the best and they try to make the most of it. And then really make the most of it, wink wink.

This book was low angst, sweet, about two guys finding attraction and love when they both thought they never would. I really like how their double bi awakening was portrayed, there was a little freaking out but ultimately they took their time and explored their attraction. Both of them were not that good at keeping in the FWB box. Loved the HEA.

I would love to know what happened to Ramsey in the future, fingers crossed he gets a book.

Things to expect in this book are:
Book 1 in series
MM college sports romance
Roommates to more
Hockey player x football player
Low angst
Double Bi awakening
FWB & Exploring
Secret relationship
Calls him pretty boy
Bit of Spice & dirty talk
Catching feelings
Found family
Sweet HEA
