Moo U Hockey Book 7: Darkroom by Kate Willoughby

Darkroom (Moo U, #7)
Moo U Hockey Book 7

Indi

I'm not gonna lie, being a twenty-one-year-old virgin is ridiculously embarrassing, bordering on pitiful. And if there’s anything I hate, it’s being pitied. So I’m getting my V-card punched this semester. It’s time to stop dreaming about being swept off my feet. Instead, I’m planning a down-and-dirty one-nighter with a certain hot hockey player I’ve been eyeing.

Hudson

As a top draft pick from a family of hockey royalty, I'm under so much pressure that I’m losing my edge on the ice. I need something to snap my brain out of this self-destructive stress-loop. Like a hot night of fun. That’s where Indi Briscoe from my photography class comes in. She’s flirtatious and funny one moment, sweetly shy the next. But then she wants me to pop her cherry.

Jesus. Did I mention the pressure thing? Am I crazy for starting something with her? Or would I be a fool for saying no?

My Review: 5/5 Stars 

This series just keeps getting better! I loved Indi and Hudson's story. Indi is on the path of becoming a doctor. She works hard and studies as much as she can to make her dream a reality because she wants to help others. But she isn't without her own issues. Born with a birthmark on her face, she has spent her life hiding it the moment she discovered make up. Constantly bullied as a kid, she has done whatever it is to protect herself. Meanwhile, Hudson has had a life of pressure. He comes from a family of NHL players and he is on his way to being one as well. But the team that has recruited him after he graduates checking in on him, his father's constant critiques to "help", and the new position of being captain of the team, his anxiety and stress levels hit their max. The calm in his storm is Indi. After they meet, sparks fly, and for the first time the both of them feel like they have someone they can talk to and truly connect with. But they aren't without their issues. Indi has to find a way to tell Hudson about her birthmark and find it in herself to accept who she is and that she is not alone. And when Hudson's game has been off in the ice, he has to acknowledge that perhaps it isn't just the pressure that is getting to him but something more. I loved their story and couldn't put it down. Both of these characters were so great. I loved seeing them grow and discover themselves together and on their own. They made one another better and stronger despite the conflicts thrown their way. Such a great addition to the series. So far Moo U Hockey has been amazing and I'm not surprised! 

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
