Publisher's summary

Colby Fischer is a bad boy with attitude and a chip on his shoulder. As a senior at a Southern California college, he knows this may be his last shot. He doubts he’ll ever become the hockey legend he dreamed of being as a kid, but he definitely doesn’t want to be an accountant. Things get interesting when he’s asked to train the new intern at his step-dad’s firm, who happens to be the troublemaker from his econ class. And the one guy Colby can’t stand.

Baseball is Sky Jameson’s life. He’s happy to be back at Chilton for his senior year, but he’s burned a few bridges and has a bit too much free time off-season. He could use the money and something to keep him busy until his season begins. But his accidental crush on his prickly coworker could be a problem. Colby is straight and Sky is in the closet. Their timing isn’t great, but the intense attraction is hard to deny. With his final season on the hockey team in the balance, Colby may have to decide if he’s ready to come out on the ice.

A bi-awakening kind of enemies to lovers romance!

This was a steamy bi -awakening, sort of enemies to lovers romance.

I absolutely live for these kind of books and Lane Hayes definitely nailed this one!

I loved that the sports background was well researched and interesting to read.
I usually don't care much for sports talk, but this one made me want to know more.

Everything was perfect. Right from the relationship build up between the characters, one being closeted and the other being straight to the storyline and the final executive.

I am so thrilled that Michael Pauley continues to narrate this series and bring these amazing characters to life.

Jocks Owning Their Truth

This latest installment of Lane Hayes’ Out In College series is another great listen.

The story is being told from Colby’s POV. Sky shared his history & mentioned Max, well Max made an appearance. I skipped books 3 & 4 so I wasn’t familiar with Sky & his background. But it didn’t feel like I missed out on anything.

Colby’s treatment and anger towards Sky in the beginning was bothering me. Colby acted like a major a-hole. It seemed over the top even if he acknowledged it was misplaced. Thankfully, that didn’t last that long.

I enjoyed how the two MCs had chemistry from the very beginning and they were inevitable. I love seeing Colby’s growth, his acceptance of his own truth (even if I cringed at his struggles & ‘semi’ homophobic notions), and seeing him finally happy.
I was rooting for Sky, I was glad he gained a new set of family.

Michael Dean’s narration on this one was great too.

If you’re looking for a low-angst, high in steam, bi-awakening, sort-of enemies to lovers, alpha male athletes kinda read, then this one is for you. 💜

When one hot head takes on a jerk

I will be the first to say I did NOT like Sky in the previous book. He was a colossal jackass. He played games and he was selfish. I wasn’t entirely sure he’d changed at the beginning of this book. Then his life crossed paths with a hot head, and after a bit, the cracks became visible. The hothead cooled off, and the jackass became more human, remorseful, and aware of where he went wrong. He wasn’t perfect, but he was trying to be better. That’s all any of us can really do. So, I forgave him, too. I loved that it was a hothead that became his person. Colby had his own demons to deal with. I loved their relationship when they hated each other, and I loved their relationship when they loved each other. Never say never, because life will say ‘Oh yeah? Just you watch.’
This book can be read alone, but it will enhance your experience if you read/listen to the previous books. The previous characters show up in the books that follow them. This one is no different. I highly recommend you read/listen to this book. It’s really good. All the feels, with minimum angst.

Another Perfect Story!

I adore all of Lane Hayes' stories, her characters are authentic, relatable, and multi-dimensional. All of her stories are well-thought out, with characters you fall in love with, and this one is no exception. Colby & Sky are both a little broken with baggage from their life experiences causing them both two be searching for answers to questions they may not even know. I thoroughly loved listening to them navigate through their fears and ultimately overcoming the fears and falling in love.


Michael Dean does an excellent job bringing this story to live, his voice is like no other.

5+ amazing stars - get this book to either read or listen to, you won't regret it!!

Icy

This is book #5, in the Out In College series. This story can be read as a standalone novel. For reader understanding, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this series in order.

Colby meets Sky in a summer class. They start as enemies, or so Colby thinks. Once they do get to know each other, the attraction intensifies and nearly burns him up.

Sky has no idea how to fix this confusion with Colby. It does not seem he will ever have a chance to be more. Is what he is feeling enough to take a chance on someone for a future?

This was a solid addition to the series. In the long awaited Hockey version, the MC's are both busy with their own sports and schedules when they meet in class. I loved the banter. I found the pace good, the heat at a good level, and the story read so good I could not put it down. The narrator does such a wonderful job on all the voices. They are so distinct and different, its almost like watching a movie from another room, where you cannot see the picture. Makes for a fun listen and a solidly good read.


***I voluntarily listened to this copy in exchange to give my own words and opinion to this audiobook.

Michael Dean gives another fantastic performance!

Michael Dean (FKN Michael Pauley) is one of my favorite audiobook performers. His performance of Out on the Ice really added to my enjoyment of the book. He has done an outstanding job with all of the books in this series.

Below is my original review from when I first read the story.

I have loved every book in this series and Out on the Ice is no exception. Each book stands alone, and can be read in any order, but characters from other books make appearances. This story is about Sky and Colby, told from Colby's POV. Sky was not so nice in a couple of the others books and I love it when a hated character gets redeemed in his own book.

Colby is a hockey player with a lot of stuff from his past that causes him pain and anger. He's pretty much learned to control the anger but every now and then he slips. When he catches Sky cheating off his paper during a test, he kind of loses it and ends up being the one accused of cheating by the TA (teaching assistant).

Sky tries to tell Colby that he wasn't cheating but he doesn't want to hear it. Colby is really confused by his reaction/attraction to Sky because he's straight and has never reacted this way to a guy before. Tempers flare and the next thing Colby knows he's kissing Sky and he's never kissed a guy before.

At first Colby thinks he's just bi-curious but that doesn't last long and he admits that he has feelings for Sky. But he's scared to come out to his parents and his hockey team and Sky isn't out either.

I loved this story so much. We learn all of the reasons why Sky was such a jerk in the earlier books he appeared in and I really felt bad for him. Colby runs a little hot and cold. One minute he hates Sky and the next he's kissing him. His feelings about his attraction to Sky really have him confused.

I could feel the connection between these guys so much. There were so many feels in this story and by the time I got to the end I was bawling my eyes out. They were mostly happy tears but there were a few sad ones, too.

I was so happy to learn that there will be more stories in this series and I can't wait to read them.

A copy of this audio book was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.

Great Character Development!

I was a little hesitant to listen to this book, because in the last Out in College book, I didn't really connect with Skye. And I disliked him, which was a concern when I read the blurb for this book. But surprisingly, I started liking Skye but struggled to find the same affection for Colby. The other books in the series had likable protagonists from the beginning of their stories, I appreciated the fact that both men have great character arcs and I enjoyed getting to know both men by the end!
