NGU Polar Storms Book 1

Ex-Figure Skater – Speed Demon Hockey Player

Wystan Finch is killing it as a hockey player after leaving Olympic figure skating due to a breakdown. A scholarship leads him to New Gothenburg University, where he joins the Polar Storms, but his arrival isn’t all fun and games. One of his teammates, Atlas, hates him from the moment he arrives. Wystan doesn’t understand why Atlas dislikes him so much, but he takes joy in irritating Atlas whenever he can. If Wystan feels more toward his rival, that’s only his business.

Captain – Or Else

Everything Atlas Frosteson wants is within his grasp. His one goal in life is to become the captain of the Polar Storms. On the day when his dream should come true, he loses the team vote to a hotshot new player, Wystan. When hate turns into something more, Atlas fights against the emotions that threaten to ruin everything he has worked hard for. His father would never forgive him or be proud of him if he gave in to the temptation of chasing after Wystan.

Hate Twists into a New Feeling

No matter which direction Atlas turns, Wystan is always there, both on and off the ice. Atlas is infuriated when his father starts dating Wystan’s mother, bringing them closer in proximity. Atlas’s obsession with Wystan could destroy his hockey career, yet he can’t get enough.

In the end, will Atlas succeed in getting rid of Wystan and taking his life back? And if he does, will he regret it?

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Atlas thought he was headed into what he thought would be a great season of college hockey. He has worked hard to get where he is and he is a vote away from team captain. That is until Wystan arrived shortly before that and has everyone charmed by his personality and his skills on the ice. Atlas’s captaincy is suddenly gone and to make matters worse? Wystan and his mom are moving in with him since Wystan’s mom is dating his dad. Let’s just say Atlas is not having a good time. Not when his own dad seems to prefer Wystan over him. And the cherry on top? As much as Atlas can’t stand Wystan, he is still attracted to him. Wystan can’t understand exactly what Atlas’s deal is with him. Since the moment he arrived it’s been hostile. And things don’t seem to be getting much better. Well, at least until they put in all their anger and frustration into hooking up. Things only just get complicated from there. Especially when things slowly shift between them. But more problems arise as the two of them try and work together on this team and figure out what is between them. I really loved this story! I couldn’t put it down. Atlas and Wystan had such an enemies-to-lovers dynamic that grew into so much more as the story went on. They ended up balancing out one another very well and supported each other through all the ups and downs. Really great story! And I hope there will be more coming in this series!
