IFU Hockey Book 1: Let's Do This by Loren Leigh

IFU Hockey Book 1

Shaw

Ever since we met two years ago, Eden Burkehammer has made everything better.

The big defenseman sets me at ease. He’s a beast on the ice—brutal and physical—but when it’s the two of us, he turns to me with these unexpectedly soft brown eyes. This gravelly laugh that makes my whole body smile. And yeah, I might have thrown a glance his way a time or two in the steamed-up locker room showers—you know, just curious.

But he’s my best friend. My teammate. Roommate.

I don’t want to mess with that. Just the thought of losing him sends a cold zap the full length of my spine. Besides, I’ve never gone there with a guy, and he’s never given a single hint he has either.

Until one morning when I sign for his delivery. An envelope that contains something I never—in my life—would have guessed.

And, suddenly, I’m thinking about him in a whole new way.

Burk

I can’t look at Shaw Keenan for too long. When he leans across my truck console, with that whip-quick smile, I get this catch in my throat and focus on the road. Or when he tips his goalie mask up onto his head, hair askew and a flush of adrenaline on his cheeks, I skate back toward the blue line.

I don’t know why. My head’s confused about a lot of stuff. Always has been. But what I do know is that I’ve never thought about anyone the way I think about him.

Especially when he steps through my doorway—in nothing but a pair of thin running shorts and that backwards pink ballcap he always wears—holding a package I ordered on a whim.

And he’s looking at me in a way he never has before.

It’s game over after that.

Let’s Do This is a steamy, low-angst, friends-to-lovers college hockey m/m romance with double first times, a flirty goalie, and a gruff defenseman willing to risk it all for a chance with his best friend. It’s a spin-off from Indigo Falls College Series and a standalone.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

It's take one moment for everything to change between Shaw and Burk. One moment to realize that this friendship they have has the sudden potential to be so much more. And when they look closer, they even realize maybe they were more than friends all along but now they actually realize it and do something about it. Shaw and Burk have been best friends and playing college hockey together for the last few years. But when they have this moment that starts with Shaw picking up a package for Burk, well things change. Suddenly they find themselves wanting to be more than just friends and learn a lot more about who they are when they are together. There will be plenty of flirting, hockey, hooking up, falling in love, learning who they are, and so much more together. You'll be rooting for these two the whole way through for them to figure it all out and go for the future they both really want.
