About this listen
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 to words to woo Brody. He wants Dean, even if he thought he was straight. And Dean? Doesn’t matter that he’s never hooked up with a guy before, either.
They’re discovering 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 for Dean, and he discovers he’s not alone.

I wasn’t a keeper. Guys just didn’t pick me, and after one too many threw me away, my heart couldn’t take it anymore. When I was traded to the Buffalo Warriors, I knew things wouldn’t be any different. Skate. Score goals. Work out. Repeat. That’s my life. I’m living the dream by playing professional hockey, and I have some amazing friends. I’m happy. Really, I am. Or at least I’m trying to be. Until the night I run into Luca.

Story
Proposing to my first boyfriend at a hockey game wasn’t my smartest move. Not only does said boyfriend walk out on me, but the whole stupid thing goes viral, and it turns out the man I was dating has too many boyfriends to count. Internet fame has crowned me a member of the Jilted Exes’ Club, a name I’d do anything to escape. One thing’s for sure: I’m not making the same mistake again. No more boyfriends, just easy hookups. And I’ll start with this gorgeous catch in Seattle. The only problem…he’s a god in bed, and I’m an inexperienced mess.

Story
My path to success never included an enemy as a teammate, especially one as infuriating as Quinton de Haas. Clawing under my skin is his favorite pastime, only feeding the animosity between us as the years pass. We’re as completely opposite as two people can be; the golden boy and the black sheep. Constantly at odds or at each other’s throats. The only thing we can agree on is hockey is our true love, and we’ll do whatever it takes to come out on top. I never imagined that drive would lead me to do the unthinkable: falling into bed with my not-so-straight rival.

Story
When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

I caught the attention of a savage beast. My fault–ish after I crashed into Crestwood hockey team's star defenseman on my way to class. In typical Eli Holmes fashion, instead of walking away after he threw my books across the hall, I stood up to Alexei Petrov. Even sat right next to him in class, letting him know exactly what I thought of his brutish behavior. Someone should’ve reminded me not to go around poking monsters. But I’m not one to cower. Until a heated encounter leads to a steamy kiss.

If there’s one thing I don’t need upsetting my quiet and comfortable routine in the small town of Darling, Montana, it’s newcomer Ash Alcott crash landing on my family’s ranch like some sort of blonde angel. I don’t need his flirting. Or his smile. I don’t need the way he makes me question whether or not I’m truly happy being alone at forty. I certainly don’t need to be giving him riding lessons or appreciating the meals he cooks for the ranch.

The first time I see Brody “Blink” Martin in the locker room, I fall hard. Big blue eyes, ripped abs…let’s just say there’s a reason the position is called tight end. But I’m Devlin “Devil” Summers—star quarterback, ladies’ man…and closeted. So I look but don’t touch. With the National Championship ours, I take a chance and kiss him. And when he kisses me back, I’m winning for the second time that night. From that moment on, we know we’re meant to be together.

He wants someone who looks, well, kind of like me? No problem! Not into watersports? I’ve got him covered. The issue is, going on all these dates with Joey makes me realize I want more of his time to be spent with me. I like the guy. And his smile. And the way he makes me feel like anything is possible.

The grad student pestering me for science-y help on his thesis is the definition of no fun, so… okay. Pros and cons of agreeing to this deal: Pros: Positive use of free time. (At least that’s what my agent says.) Cons: Malcolm likes big words and his first language is math. He’s also bossy, clumsy, and he doesn’t know the first thing about hockey. But he’s also cute and he’s got a great sense of humor.

Rookie quarterback Riley Flynn knows what it takes to make it in the NFL. He's in Charleston to prove himself—to the world and his teammates, but mostly to his older brother, who's never believed he could be a star. The last thing he expects is for his brother's best friend, Landry, to welcome him with open arms and an offer to become roommates. Riley's always believed Landry was straight—but the way Landry keeps checking him out leaves him suddenly unsure. And Landry's hot looks certainly don't help squash the crush he's always had on his brother's best friend.

But he’s also cute and he’s got a great sense of humor.

Story
Rookie quarterback Riley Flynn knows what it takes to make it in the NFL. He's in Charleston to prove himself—to the world and his teammates, but mostly to his older brother, who's never believed he could be a star. The last thing he expects is for his brother's best friend, Landry, to welcome him with open arms and an offer to become roommates. Riley's always believed Landry was straight—but the way Landry keeps checking him out leaves him suddenly unsure. And Landry's hot looks certainly don't help squash the crush he's always had on his brother's best friend.

I wasn’t a keeper. Guys just didn’t pick me, and after one too many threw me away, my heart couldn’t take it anymore. When I was traded to the Buffalo Warriors, I knew things wouldn’t be any different. Skate. Score goals. Work out. Repeat. That’s my life. I’m living the dream by playing professional hockey, and I have some amazing friends. I’m happy. Really, I am. Or at least I’m trying to be. Until the night I run into Luca.

Ever have someone get you so well that it's like looking in a mirror? That's what I think of when I look at Liam. I might as well be looking at myself from a few months ago. Broken and jaded. But I've come out the other side, mostly, and I'm finally in a good place. I figure if I did it, so can he. So, I make it my mission to befriend him. Predictably, he doesn't make it easy. But I'm persistent. And then he suffers a minor accident. One that results in me having to give him a helping hand in ways I never expected. Ways that make me think I may not be as broken as I thought.

Story
There are several principles of landscaping, but my favorite has always been simplicity. I'm a go-with-the-flow and keep-it-simple kind of guy. Always have been. Always will be. It's how I do my job and how I live my life. Of course, as luck would have it, it only takes one job and one indescribably hot stranger to change everything for me. Because one thing Dutton Collins is not... simple.

Dean's and Brody's queer awakenings are very naturally paced as is their sexual explorations. I wonder if maybe they're both also demi-sexual. They don't rush into sex nor into the development of their feelings and in fact, these develop together. There is a lot of intimacy and sexual tension in this book, but there is also tension about the future careers for these MCs and it is really well done. I could not put this book down because I wanted to know what was going to happen! Also, the spice is hot! Another thing that I really enjoyed is that the MCs spend time with their BFFs too and that's great to see.
I very much enjoyed this book and it definitely gave me so many feels! Yes, I had some tears, too. Darcy Stark is a FAB narrator the different voices were distinct and the spicy scenes were hot! He also made me *feel* what the MCs were feeling...just wonderful!
Swoony story between college athletes!

3 ⭐️ for the story and 5 ⭐️ for narration.
It’s a double bi-awakening and I reeally like this trope so I couldn’t resist reading Melting The Ice! Forced proximity with sport players and sexy nerds thrown into the mix? Yes, it was a perfect combination for me right now 😁
And SIZE difference!! Looooved how big Dean was! Even though Brody is not small either 😃 Gentle giant awwwww I love him 🥹
I don’t know how the book feels when you read it yourself but when Darcy Stark read it for you.. Oh boy, it was good. Sooo good 🤭 Even not smut parts were hot at times 🔥
I loved Brody’s parents who were soooo sweet and loving; the coaches who intrigued me (I’m going to read a book about them too when it comes out) and hockey games (just because I understand it better than football which was there too).
I loved the very veeery end of the book, the call and sorta HFN.
And I want to read the book about Brody’s best friend. He is a wild card, I need to see how he finds his love too.

I always enjoy reading anything by Beth Bolden, and love when characters from previous series appear in current stories.
Brody and Dean were roommates from two different sports backgrounds, but after spending time together as friends and eventually boyfriends, they knew they had found their person. While neither had dated guys before, or even thought about it, their chemistry was amazing and they enjoyed being with each other more than anyone else.
Darcy Stark brings these characters to life and the listener can hear this romance with all of the right inflections as he shares how they found their HEA.
Take time to read/listen to Beth Bolden books, they are always guaranteed to make your heart smile.

In general, I found the first half of the book dragged a bit and I'm a little on the fence about whether or not the change in Dean's and Brody's relationship felt forced and unnatural. I like the two MCs just fine but I never grew to love Ramsey and some aspects of the plot continued to drag in the second half. However, this was an entertaining book and I have always enjoyed Beth Bolden's writing. The resolution was good, albeit a little brief. And there are definitely a lot of spicy scenes, so if you enjoy that plus a bi-awakening plot with hockey and football, this is the book for you.
I received an audiobook copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Brody is easy to relate to. Most of us have faced a decision between two future paths & it's never easy. Beth's awareness of the dark side of sports has always been something that draws me to her stories, and while this is overall a very light book, the decision to go pro or leave a sport you've dedicated your entire life to still resonates deeply with me.
Dean is a broody but sweet behemoth of yes, please. Imo, he's one of her sexiest MCs yet, and that's saying something. Darcy's narration was smoking hot!
Brody and Dean mirror each other in a lot of ways, both of them struggling to find joy in their sport for different reasons. Dean needs to be successful in football to have a chance at a better life and he drives himself relentlessly in the pursuit of that.
These guys were perfect for each other. The decisions they made felt right for them and I adored the callbacks and cameos. (Just no sacking my fav QB, Dean 😅) And oh boy, the set ups! I can't wait for the rest of this series!
12/10 recommend!
Steamy and heartfelt
