Gerard Gunnarson, the charming and outgoing right winger of the Berkeley Shore University’s hockey team, is used to being in the spotlight. With the mysterious Ice Queen—a blogger documenting his every move—and a legion of adoring fans, Gerard seems to have it all.
Elliot Montgomery, a grumpy and introverted student, prefers spending his days working in the campus library while everyone else is out in the world, having fun. His life is meticulously planned, with no room for sudden change. So, when Gerard skates in with all the finesse of a bull in a china shop, Elliot doesn’t know what to do or how to feel.
As Gerard and Elliot’s unlikely friendship blossoms into something more, Elliot must confront his own fears and insecurities, while Gerard must come to terms with his sexuality. With the Ice Queen’s all-seeing eye fixed on them, will their relationship even stand a scoring chance? Or will the intense scrutiny from their peers threaten to tear them apart?
Icing on the Cake is a comically spicy MM grumpy/sunshine sports romance with a guaranteed HEA. While it is the first book in The Barracudas series, it can be read as a standalone.
