Love the Game Book 6: Puck Shots by Becca Jackson

 

Love the Game Book 6

I’m here to play hockey, get drafted, and maybe break a few campus records while I’m at it. My plan is simple, keep my head down, my skates sharp, and my name on the scouts’ radar.

Babysitting a legacy was not part of the plan.

Eli shows up to rush Kappa Omega Kappa looking like he got lost on the way to chess club. He’s quiet, awkward, and clearly has no clue what he’s doing in a house full of loud, alpha-type frat bros. But on day one, his quiet confidence somehow gets under my skin.

Then he goes and builds this crazy program that helps fine-tune my slap shot, and I realize there’s way more to him than shy smiles and nervous energy. He’s brilliant, thoughtful, and kind of a menace in the best way.

I was supposed to keep an eye on him. Instead, I can’t stop looking.

And suddenly, the biggest thing on the line this season... might be my heart.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

This is the year Cosmo believes he will be drafted in the NHL. He just has to keep improving his game and keep up with his grades. He is so close to making his dreams, he can taste it. But when he is asked to watch out for Eli, a legacy entering their frat, he never expects to fall so hard and fast. Eli is sweet, quiet, a little awkward, and a whole lot smart. Cosmo is impressed with him on day one and Eli surprises him at every turn. And when Eli develops a program to help him improve in hockey? Cosmo is a goner. Eli rushed the frat because his brother was a member. Telling Eli that he made friends with guys in that frat for life and he wants Eli to have the same chance. While nerves get the better of him most of the time, he wants to try. And he never expects meeting Cosmo will give him what he is looking for. That safe place and friendship. Let alone being the guy Eli can’t help but fall for. These two were absolutely adorable! I loved that Eli underneath his anxiety and nerves, had a spine of steel. He wasn’t afraid to stand up for himself and constantly kept surprising everyone. Especially Cosmo. They supported one another at every turn and it was so sweet to watch these two fall hard for one another. Their chemistry was fantastic! Been loving this series so far and this was definitely another great one!
