Icing the Play by Christie Gordon

The sixth and final book in the Desert Ice Hockey series gives Myles a chance to find his HEA... 

From the Icing the Play blurb:

Living with my high school crush is a bad play. Living with him while keeping my feelings on ice? Impossible.

Myles

Hockey is my dream.

But if I don’t make it to the NHL, I’ll be the family failure—especially with my little brother on his way.

Then Cooper struts back into my life. My high school crush.

The guy who made my chest ache with emotions I buried so deep, I wished they’d disappear.

He’s heading to the NFL and setting me up with his friend.

But my heart’s never raced for anyone the way it does him.

When he needs a place to live, I can’t say no.

Even if living with him might break me.

Cooper

I came to Arizona for football, not for Myles Cummings.

But the instant I see him again, I know my feelings back then weren’t just friendship.

And now? It’s stronger than ever.

There’s one big problem.

He doesn’t know I like guys, and my friend has his eye on Myles.

When Myles lets me move in, keeping my secret—and my hands off him—might be the hardest play of my life.

Icing the Play is the sixth book in the college hockey series, Desert Ice Hockey, and is the follow up to the Rock U series. It features a hockey player crushing on his old friend, a football player hiding his sexuality, forced proximity, hurt/comfort, a short love triangle, second chances and found family. Desert Ice Hockey follows a group of queer hockey players, known as the squad, while they each battle for their HEA.

Buy now to explore a world where emotions run as high as the heat and hockey isn’t the only game in town!

Heather's Review:

This book is adorably sweet forced proximity, roommates to lovers story that caps off the Desert Ice Hockey series really well.  Myles is the final Squad member to find love and he gets to find it with his high school crush - a guy he always believed was straight...

This book is relatively low angst, with good heat and lots of cameos from the previous members of the squad and their boyfriends... we even get a glimpse of everyone's future with a culminating trip to Vegas...

I'm sad to see this series ending, but if I know Christie Gordon, these characters will make an appearance in the future...
