Offsides Book 1

Former college hockey player, Sam Jameson, is coming off of a bad summer. After the derailment of his hockey dreams, and a nasty breakup with his girlfriend, he's ready to put his head down and work hard for the South Carolina NHL team. He doesn't count on Troy Nichols, though.

Troy, star forward for the team, is unexpected in more ways than one. And when sparks fly between the pair, there seems little sense in holding back. Can they make it work, or is this little more than a rebound?

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Sam hasn’t had a great summer. His dream of playing professional hockey is gone and he had a bad break up with his ex-girlfriend. Who won’t take the hint that him ignoring her calls means he doesn’t want to talk to her. So he heads to South Carolina on an internship to work for their NHL team in hopes of a fresh start. But he could never imagine the feelings that spark when he mets Troy. He has never been attracted to a guy before, but there is something so special and sweet about Troy that draws Sam to him. And it’s only a matter of time before he can keep that kind of feeling in. Troy is a sweet hockey player who has an endless amount of energy. He hasn’t been lucky in love and doesn’t love the hook up life. But when he meets Sam, he is smitten. So smitten, he thinks it is a good idea to offer Sam his spare bedroom so that Sam doesn’t have to live out of a hotel. Being roommates with Sam is great but the sparks between them are flying more and more. And Troy can’t help but wonder if Sam feels it too. These two were so adorable! I loved how easily Sam accepted this part of himself. It was so natural to him because it was exactly that. He liked Troy and wanted to be with him. Simple as that. Troy was sweet and patient and endlessly blushing. And of course the dimples! Sam knew he had no chance but to just fall. Really fun and sweet story. Loved all these characters and I am looking forward to the next book.
