Shots on Net by J.J. Mulder (Paperback)

Shots on Net is the first book in J.J. Mulder’s SCU Hockey series, a slow-burn friends-to-lovers MM college romance.

Carter Morgan III hates just about everything about South Carolina University, except for one thing: hockey. As the starting netminder for the team, he lives for those moments when he can step onto the ice and take his place between the pipes. Trouble is, his time at school, and on the team, is slowly drawing to a close. He’d love nothing more than to pursue a career in the NHL, but he knows better than to let himself hope for it.

Zeke Cassidy simply needs a place to live. When he answers an advert for a roommate, he isn’t quite sure what he’s expecting, only that it certainly isn’t Carter Morgan III. Carter is unfriendly, aloof, and the two of them appear to have nothing whatsoever in common. And yet, somehow, they hit it off almost at once, and quickly become friends.

Carter knows perfectly well that Zeke isn’t interested in anything beyond friendship and a shared flat. Unfortunately, knowing it does nothing to stop him hoping for more, no matter how firmly he tries to convince himself it’s impossible.

Perfect for readers who love a friends-to-lovers MM hockey romance, a grumpy-meets-easygoing roommates pairing and a tender, slow-burning tale of quiet pining.
