Goodreads Synopsis
In the game of love, who will melt first?
LUKE:
No one seems to comprehend the pressures of playing for an NCAA college hockey team and being in the pre-med program. With the NHL draft and graduation looming, I can’t handle any distractions in my life. Discipline and focus are my two best friends.
The absolute last thing I need my senior year is to be roped into some campus social media project with a sexy junior who changes majors more times than she does clothes. Yet here I am, posing for a calendar I had no intention of participating in, attending parties, and making out, among other things, in public. And yeah, if I’m smiling the whole way, it must be because I’ve finally cracked. That’s the only explanation why I’ve let Jax sashay her way into my every thought. Puck me!
My world has been irrevocably turned upside down once already, and I won’t let it happen again—even if it means becoming the “Ice Man” that everyone calls me.
JAX:
It might have taken me three years to decide on a major, but I’ve got it all figured out now, and I’m going to win a coveted communications internship too. I just need the grumpy hockey captain to relax a bit and help me help his team. So what if I know diddly about the game and that he won’t even let me past the front door? I’ve got this! And if I’m shivering at his touch, it’s because he’s so cold, not because he makes me hot.
Nope, despite the rumors circulating on campus, we’re only spending every waking minute together because of my assignment, that’s all. Although, maybe we’re dating? I don’t know, but I plan to find out! Because it’s starting to feel real, especially his kisses. Yup, I’m totally pucked!

Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher, via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
When she finally decides what she wants to major in, Jax needs the help of the campus hockey team, and especially their captain Luke, in order to win a coveted internship. But Luke wants nothing to do with her crazy schemes, and is only focused on his upcoming graduation and the draft. But the team has other things in mind, and now Luke can't get her off his mind.
This was a really quick and enjoyable read. I loved how the first time we met Jax, she's stuck in a teapot costume walking across the campus. It was just so on brand for her, and it really helped with the grumpy/sunshine theme across the whole book. She and Luke had really great chemistry, and they were just right for each other to open themselves up for love and happiness.
