Daddies of the League Book 8: Off-Ice Misconduct by S. Legend

Daddies of the League Book 8

Ace McKinnon

If you don’t want me, you want to be me.

Being so popular, my extracurricular activities crashed my GPA risking my NCAA eligibility. I asked my professor if there was any way to bump my grade. Let’s just say we worked out a clandestine deal.

Look, life is short, okay? My mom’s proof of that. The most beautiful female hockey player there ever was, died too soon. 

But let’s see … captain of the hockey team, president of Alpha-Sigma, full-time course load, and looking after said hockey team and frat members around the clock. 

Is it any wonder I have to persuade a few professors to help me with my grades?

Professor VanCourt doesn’t even look like a professor. It looks like someone abducted him from the wilderness and dropped him in the classroom. His feral eyes give “raised by wolves”, and I might have been the first human he’s talked to in a while, judging by how many of his words are grunts.

This guy is so not gonna let me “work out a deal”. He’s set on putting me in my place.

Luke VanCourt

His body is a conduit for power, all the force in the world his to harness. It bends to his will.

That’s probably why everyone trips over themselves for him. They probably want to be controlled by all that wild power.

Not me. I want to restrain it. Keep it under my thumb. Keep him under my thumb. 

My brother has no issues keeping his team perfectly obedient on the ice, but he needs help with them off the ice. 

Ace McKinnon is the key. 

All I need to do is make him comply, and the rest will fall into line.

But I’ve never claimed to be a saint. What’s wrong with having fun while I do it?

Daddies of the League is a college ice hockey shared world, where you’ll find Daddies both on and off the ice. Skate into your newest obsession and grab them all. Off-Ice Misconduct features an MM age-gap relationship with the kind of possessiveness that will make you shiver and morally gray heroes.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Ace is in his final year of college and is drowning in his hockey schedule, classes, and duties as frat president and captain of the hockey team. He never really wanted to come to college and go straight to the NHL. With his skills and the amount of teams knocking on his door, why bother? But for his dad’s sake and in honor of his mom who had passed, he goes. But final year is getting harder juggling so many responsibilities and expectations. But he never expected that his coach would bring his own brother to the school to watch out for his hockey players. Or that the connection between them is one Ace never could have predicted. Luke came to this school as a favor to his brother. He never expected the possessiveness that fills him to be directed to the hotshot hockey player on campus. Or the feelings that come with it later as they explore this new very specific type of relationship. Ace and Luke were something else in this story! Hot and heavy and their banter was pretty great. They have this super strong connection and while both were convinced they would never have strong emotional connections to someone, that comes down the longer they spend time together. They fall so hard and quick that they truly don’t even realize it happened until it was too late! I really enjoyed getting to know these two guys and watch them fall for one another. There was a lot more to them then they first appear and it made the story that much sweeter as it went on. Definitely don’t miss this one!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
