Camrose U Book 1: Zone Entry by Maia Kinley

 

Camrose U Book 1

My new teammate and roommate is the perfect golden boy with a fake smile that pisses me off. So why do I want to kiss him?

Caleb
My new teammate pisses me off. Everyone else is falling over themselves when Golden Boy flashes a fake smile. Me? I just want to wipe it off his face.
Off the ice, there’s no escaping Nick Sandoval’s dimples and plastic grin—because he’s my new roommate.
And on the ice? We need to get our act together, or else our final year of college hockey’s going to waste.
I can’t ignore him, and I won’t put up with that bullshit front he puts up for everyone.
Especially when I push his buttons just right and get a glimpse at something no one else has seen—the real Nick Sandoval.
He’s passionate, snarky… and hot as sin.

Nick
I’m in control on and off the ice. I don’t cause trouble and I don’t draw attention.
Until now.
Because Caleb Jennings is determined to make my ice-cold control shatter. He’s antagonistic, impossible to ignore, and has made it his personal mission to wind me up.
My game’s a mess when we’re on the ice together. When I get back to my room, I can’t escape because he’s there as well.
Caleb turns me into a person I don’t recognize. A version that fights back. A version that wants things I really, really shouldn’t.
And one of those things I want… is him.

Zone Entry is an M/M dislike-to-love romance, perfect for readers who like the tension between roommates, hockey teammates, and hormonal college men.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Nick likes to be in control. He keeps his head down the best he can and tries never to purposely draw attention. He does this on and off the ice. Everyone on campus thinks he is the nicest guy around and always has a smile. Truthfully, the smiles aren’t real most of the time. But no one calls him out on it like Caleb. When Caleb transfer to his school to play on Nick’s hockey team, he is the first to call Nick out. To make it worse, they are roommates. Nick tries to keep his control but Caleb smashes it at every turn. But is that a good thing or a bad thing? Caleb transferred to be closer to his family. But the one thing that really bothers him is Nick aka the Golden Boy. The moment he gives Caleb his face smile, Caleb snaps. He wants to figure out who Nick really is. Never did he expect to break down Nick’s walls and find someone he actually could like. Someone he may even have feelings for. And when Nick starts to feel it too? Well, they both know they are in trouble. I really enjoyed this story! Nick needed Caleb in his life. To be pushed a bit and learn that he can make choices he wants and not what he assumes others want from him. And Nick is there for Caleb when it matters most. They balance one another so well. I just really loved these two and watching them fall hard for one another. Can’t wait to pick up the next one!
