Cat's Review of Melting the Ice (Evergreens #1) by Beth Bolden @bethboldenauthor @neonrainbowarcreviews @tammystwocents X- @beth_bolden @TTCBooksandmore

• 
  Brody’s got enough on his plate. 
  
  Recovering from a knee injury he hopes won’t keep him off the ice. His team, the Portland University Evergreens, have a brand new coach, and he’s hoping to impress the legendary leader. Plus, he's got to make a decision once and for all about playing professional hockey or using his love of science to go a totally different direction.
  
  The last thing he needs is a sexual awakening at the large, calloused hands of his football player roommate.
  
  Dean is big and brawny and taciturn, but he doesn’t need words to woo Brody. He wants Dean, and his brilliant "experiment" to test his attraction gives Brody all the scientific results he needs to know he's not straight.
  
  Now, they're proving his theory with new pleasures every night, while pretending during the day that they’re just roommates.
  
  Except the heat burns so hot between them, it doesn’t just melt all the ice on Brody’s rink, it melts all his beliefs about who he is and what he wants.
  
  But even more, it destroys the lie that he can’t fall hard for a guy. Because Brody is falling hard. The only question is will Dean catch him?

Cat gives this book 4 Meows with a 3 purr heat index...

This is a great start to a new series. 

Not only do we get Hockey but some football as well.

There are great characters as always and I can't wait for each to get their HEA.

There is great build up, good hockey action, roommates to friends, to lovers so you might say forced proximity (I love this trope) and double bi-awakening.  

Another great series to look forward to.
