Icebreaker (Daddies of the League) by Kerry Kilpatrick


Two young men discovering a Daddy/little dynamic that is super sweet. His new roommate may just be the perfect little for hockey player Brennen, but Brennen is graduating soon and the fear of losing each other hovers as they fall deeper for each other.


From the blurb:

Sometimes the best things in life are the ones you never see coming.


Brennen Tate is the halfway decent goalie of a losing college hockey team. When he graduates in the spring, he’s heading straight to the mountains—no NHL dreams, no drama. With days full of studying and hockey and nights full of casual hookups, life is exactly how Brennen likes it…until Cooper “Ellie” Ellis upends everything.

Ellie’s a sweet, quiet guy working in the equipment room and crashing in the training room to escape his nightmare dorm. When Brennen’s roommate graduates early and moves out, he impulsively offers Ellie the extra room. No big deal, right? Just a favor.

But things take an unexpected turn when Brennen stumbles across Ellie’s little secret…which just happens to match Brennen’s deepest desires.

This Daddy-little story is full of rock collections, movie marathons, and way too many stuffies for a college apartment. Turns out, home isn’t a place—it’s a person.

Daddies of the League is a college ice hockey shared world, where you’ll find Daddies both on and off the ice. Skate into your newest obsession and grab them all.


SNik's review:

Part of a multi-author series (Daddies of the League), but can be read as a standalone. Daddy/little. Roommates. Dual POV. 

In his last semester of college, hockey player and hopeful future law enforcement officer Brennen offers up his spare room to the cute and kind sports equipment manager Ellis. After struggling with his former roommate, living with Brennen is a dream, not to mention his secret crush on Brennen, but when Brennen discovers Ellis’s little tendencies they embark on a new kind of relationship. 

Could Brennen be any sweeter of a new Daddy that may have found his perfect boy? I really enjoyed this story with two inexperienced men finding a deep and meaningful dynamic that builds into a loving relationship. There are no angsty stumbles as Brennen and Ellie embrace each other and their shared needs, as well as finding a special kind of connection. The possible time limit was heart wrenching at times, but almost every moment of this story made me smile. Brennen and Ellie really deserve the HEA they find together.
