He’s hot for teacher
NHL star Tristan Holt may be at the top of his game, but he’s already thinking one play ahead. Hitting the books in the off-season means he’ll have a business degree to fall back on when it’s time to hang up his hockey skates.
But his straightforward plan is complicated by his undeniable attraction to his sexy sociology professor, Sebastian Cruz.
Impressed by Tristan’s brain as well as his brawn, Sebastian can’t help lusting after the gorgeous jock. With tenure on the line, Sebastian won’t break the rules by becoming involved with one of his students—at least, not until the end of term. Once final grades are posted, though, their naughty mutual fantasies can become reality.
Tristan’s not sure he’s up for being the poster boy for openly gay hockey players, but Sebastian’s never been the type of man to keep his sexuality—or his relationships—in the closet. For Tristan, being with Sebastian might mean risking more than just his heart.

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
OMG, I absolutely love Off the Ice!. Avon Gale and Piper Vaughn immediately captured my attention with the tone of this romance.
I love athlete stories, and this one is fantastic. Tristan and Sebastian have a great relationship with so much to offer. Not only is Tristan a closeted athlete, but they meet when Tristan's a student in Sebastian's class.
So, yes, their story starts with a forbidden desire element, as the professor and student are immediately intrigued in each other. It's fun and extremely entertaining. And, damn, I love the theme in Sebastian's class and how he himself falls victim to that very issue. That theme? Privilege, bias, and prejudice. It's wonderfully written, explored, and as I stated above, illustrated. I love it all.
Everything about this book is what I consider delicious romance. With this writing duo, it's no surprise that the writing is good and the storyline is strong. The characters are both loveable and a lot of fun together. It's a stellar subject matter as they explore the dangers of making assumptions.
Seriously, I love this story! From the start, I found myself completely immersed into Tristan and Sebastian's world. Off The Ice is a compelling and riveting romance, full of tension, attraction, and a forbidden relationship, as well as the struggles of being a closeted athlete. I can't recommend it enough.
