A hockey player is needed for Malcolm's graduate thesis, and he hopes Jett will be a willing subject, as long as Malcolm ignores how handsome the jock is. Jett agrees to provide data and some hockey tutoring as his own side project, and so what if he has a crush on the geeky physics genius.
From the One-Time Shot blurb:
Jett
My pro hockey dreams are hanging by a thread. I need to have a great season and that means no partying, no distractions, no fun. The grad student’s science experiment is the definition of no fun, so…okay.
Pros and cons of agreeing to this deal:
Pros: Positive use of free time. (At least that’s what my agent says.)
Cons: Malcolm is bossy, clumsy, and he doesn’t know the first thing about hockey.
But he’s also cute and he’s got a great sense of humor and—oh no.
I cannot have a crush on the geek. No way. Not now.
Malcolm
Yes, I’m a serious student, but a hockey project is not serious. Who cares about big hunky hockey players zipping around a sheet of ice at warp speed? Not I.
However, according to my professor, the only way to attain the required data is to study the specimen in his natural habitat, AKA, the ice rink.
Pros: My thesis should lead to a bevy of job offers.
Cons: Jett. He’s impossibly big and gruff and handsome and disarmingly charming and—
Fine. Guilty. I like the jock…perhaps too much.
Lately, I find myself wondering if there’s such a thing as a one-time shot at forever.
One-Time Shot is a low-angst, geek-jock MM bisexual college hockey romance featuring a charismatic hockey star and an adorkable scientist.
SNik's review:
First in series (Smithton Bears). Opposites attract. Jock/geek. Low angst. Slow burn. Dual POV.
Popular college hockey player Jett wants to play hockey professionally, but realizing that’s his only focus has him deciding to help out graduate student Malcolm with his thesis. Malcolm really needs data from a hockey player, but spending time with Jett has him not only learning about hockey, but also about how much he gets along with Jett.
These two are just special together, every moment on page together was fun and romantic, and they really get to know each other inside and out as they build from friendship to love. I really appreciated that it felt easy between Jett and Malcolm, they had things in common but were opposites in so many ways and they really enjoyed learning about each other’s passions. I was glad there were supportive secondary characters, no team drama, and two likable main characters wholly falling in love that made an HEA seem a foregone conclusion.
