Melting the Ice by Beth Bolden
4.0
Beth Bolden + sports romance is always a win in my book! It’s her first foray into hockey romance, but of course we get some football in the mix too and it was great.
Brody Faulkner is a college hockey player and a bio major, something you don’t see happen very often. After an injury put him on the sidelines last season, he’s struggling to figure out how hockey and the life he lived while recovering can go together and make him happy again. Dean Scott is a college football player who is determined to make it to the NFL and will do anything he can to make himself more fit, a better player and a more attractive draft pick. He’s almost single minded in his pursuit of his dream since it means a life completely different from the one he’s living now.
Brody and Dean end up as roommates when Brody’s best friend Ramsey sets them up - it’s a surprise but it ends up working out way better than either of them anticipate. Even when they’re trying to be friends, their chemistry is off the charts - they just seem to click and can anticipate what each other needs on a level that’s way more intimate than just friends. Their easiness around each other, the way they relax when it’s just them, their unwavering support, all of it was so sweet to read. Brody and Dean really had something special and I hope we get to see glimpses of them throughout this series!
I loved the cameos and mentions of past Beth Bolden characters and can’t wait to see where the rest of the series is headed/who else we’ll get to see along the way! Also really keeping my fingers crossed for a Ramsey story one of these days…I’m SO intrigued by him!! Can’t wait for the next Portland Evergreens book!
