Smithton Bears Book 1 |
The jock, the geek, and the hockey project…
Jett
My pro hockey dreams are hanging by a thread. I need to have a great season and that means no partying, no distractions, no fun. The grad student pestering me for science-y help on his thesis is the definition of no fun, so…okay.
Pros and cons of agreeing to this
Positive use of free time. (At least that’s what my agent says.)
Malcolm likes big words and his first language is math. He’s also bossy, clumsy, and he doesn’t know the first thing about hockey.
But he’s also cute and he’s got a great sense of humor and—oh no.
I cannot have a crush on the geek. No way. Not now.
Malcolm
Yes, I’m a serious student, but a hockey project is not serious. Who cares about big hunky hockey players zipping around a sheet of ice at warp speed? Not I.
According to my professor, however, the only way to attain the required data is to study the specimen in his natural habitat, AKA, the ice rink.
My thesis should lead to a bevy of job offers.
Jett. He’s impossible—too big, too handsome, too gruff and yet disarmingly charming and—
Okay, fine. I like the jock…a lot.
Lately, I find myself wondering if there’s such a thing as a one-time shot at forever.
One-Time Shot is a low-angst, geek-jock MM college hockey romance featuring a charismatic hockey star and an adorkable scientist.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
Jett has been working his butt off to make his hockey dreams come true. But the start of senior year isn’t exactly going as he wants in terms of winning. He needs to get out of his head a bit. A little distraction to keep him from worrying and playing the game he worked so hard at. Who would have thought it meant saying yes to a science project. It wasn’t Malcolm’s idea to make his project based on hockey. What even his hockey? Malcolm honestly has no clue how the game works. But his mentor insists it can help his physics paper. So he tries to convince the best player on the team at Smithton to help him out. And after some light stalking, Jett agrees. Their deal is simple, Jett runs these experiments on the ice for Malcolm and Malcolm has to learn hockey from Jett. The two of them form an unlikely friendship while also developing big crushes on the other. And it’s only a matter of time until they finally do something about it. Really loved this story! Malcolm was this adorkable nerd and Jett was just this super sweet hockey guy. Opposites in a lot of ways but they actually had more in common than either realized. I loved their dynamic and the way they became friends and how it just built from there. Super cute! Can’t wait for more in this series!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
