GSU #2
Testing the Goalie
It’s my last year as a GSU Koala, and I’ve worked hard to become the hotshot goalie our fans know and love. I could go pro, but that’s never been my end goal. I want to be a doctor, and I’m determined to get there.
I give hockey and school my all, which hasn’t left much time for relationships. Not that I want one, since people always leave - a lesson I learned the hard way.
Despite my past, part of me is over quick hookups and the endless string of one night stands I’ve been entertaining for the past few years. Of course, it would help if I could stop dreaming about my summer fling. The man who had me calling him “Daddy” as if it was second nature. Who opened my eyes to things I had no idea I would love.
That’s easier said than done when I see him again, in the last place I expect: as the newest professor at GSU.
Even though I'm not in any of his classes, he thinks I’m off-limits. Will I be able to convince him that a friends-with-benefits arrangement is just what we need to meet our mutual desires? If I do, what happens then?

This was a sweet and touching story. Ben is a goalie on his college hockey team and over the summer goes to a private resort where he meets Ian. They hook up and it opens Ben’s eyes to new kinks and desires. When he gets home he runs into Ian, who is a professor at his college, though not his professor. There is a little friction at the beginning with Ian struggling with the ethical issue and the shades of gray in his mind. They enter into a Daddy/boy relationship which is hot and sweet. These two are beautiful together and share a deep connection. There isn’t a lot of friction and angst in this story, their relationship develops organically but a few issues crop up. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It was well written. The steamy scenes were hot.

Ian and Ben meet during the summer on vacation and quickly hit it off. Ben doesn’t realize until Ian that he is submissive and into Daddy/boy kink. Ian already knew this about himself. I don’t prefer the D/b dynamic but this was not OTT and quite light. They part ways and don’t exchange information.
Surprisingly (not to the reader) they meet again at school, with Ian as a professor and Ben as a student but not one of Ian’s. Eventually they pursue a friend’s with benefits relationship for a brief time but feelings quickly become involved.
I appreciated the low angst of this book, and even how quickly I was able to read it. But after their relationship dynamic changes the timeline jumps in large chunks, so we don’t really get to see them dating much, which was disappointing since this is a romance.
The discord near the end between Ben and Ian just did not sit right with me, but I don’t want to go into it and give away too many details. It just seemed forced.

Yet again, this author hits hard with the emotions. Yeah, we have heat. But even better than that is the navigation of finding yourself. Ben and Ian have that, and I especially like the communication and maturity they have from the start of their time together. They don’t play games. They don’t lie. They know that words hurt. And yet, they open up and build something worth having.
Along the way, we see more of Monster and get to know exactly what insecurities he possesses. Lucky for him, Rio is a good guide through the murky waters of “who am I really” because the relief felt at finding that he’s NOT a weirdo is palpable. So we have love. Romance. Heat. Family by choice. And true friendships meant to help and nurture, rather than compete and hurt. That alone is just one more reason to adore this series.

Professor/student, low angst, age gap, hockey player that used to be a player (dating kind) but became exclusive after seeing Ian again. Light Daddy kink and Ben (Coop)'s first exploration into that.
Everything was low angst and went smoothly in this as well. Problems with the professor/student dynamic quickly got resolved before they started the relationship because Ian looked up the rules and both he and Ben filled out the forms before becoming friends-with-benefits.
Again, the writing just seems to not be for me. Not a lot of depth to the characters and events happen then pass in quick succession. Even though this is a college age gap story, it felt more naive and young. Dialogue did not match their ages and was a bit cringe.

This is Ben and Ian’s story and it is a steamy one at that🥵
This is HEAVY in the DD/lb dynamic but no age play. It’s not kinky per se but there are heavy control and submission themes. 🙃
The communication in this book is top notch and while the dialogue is robotic at times, the conversations are necessary and mature.
Ben and Ian meet in vacation and then run into each other again at GSU where Ian is the new “sexy professor” 😂
The arrange for a FWB situation that grows from there. Their relationship is so wholesome and maybe a bit too perfect at times.
Like with Schooling the Quarterback, these books are low angst and very wrapped up in a bow. The conflict is small and easily fixed. These books are more about growing a relationship than the struggles within them. They’re cozy and easy to read. Very surface level while putting a smile on your face! 🖤
I received a complimentary copy of this book but this is my honest and voluntary opinion! 🖤

Still not a huge fan of the daddy kink trope but this book was a cute short read and I loved Ben! When he asked Calvin if he could call him dad I was so happy for him😭 I’m so happy he found someone to love him the way he deserved!

Oh these two are just pure hotness wrapped up in sweet irresistible packages. Ben and Ian warmed my heart. I absolutely loved the communication in this book and the dynamic between these two. This was a low angst, high heat love story and it was perfect.

Super cute MM DD/lb romance. I loved this book so much more than the first one in the series. This is probably the first professor/student relationship I’ve read that wasn’t forbidden. But it’s okay bc Ben isn’t in Ian’s class. Realistic? Not sure but we don’t really care.

3.5/5. I liked Ben, who really was so sweet, laid back, and eager to please. I also liked Ian, who was so caring, protective, and kind. They went together well and their story was fun. I liked that they met on vacation, then again at school/work. I also liked Ben just going with a new kink like it was NBD. It was fun to see them reconnect and start to date. I enjoyed the small time jumps and Ben's backstory as a child from foster care as well. I did feel like this third act conflict was blown a little out of proportion. And conversations didn't seem super natural all the time. Although, I really enjoyed all the side characters like Ben's friends and Ian's family. 3/5 spice levels.
Notes: second chance, vacation love, daddy, professor/student, hockey

Another wonderful book from Laura John. I enjoyed the age-gap, kinky romance between a professor and a student at the same college (not his student though).
Ben and Ian's chemistry when they first meet on holiday is instant and intense, but with them being so busy and such different lives, it's easier being just a fling for a couple of days. They're not going to see each other again anyway...... until Ian turns up as a professor at Ben's college. Luckily not one of his own teachers but that doesn't stop Ian from hesitating when it comes to continuing anything between them. I'm not really a fan of student/teacher romances but with the dynamics of this one being slightly different, it's more just people who know each other in the same vicinity and have the chance to reconnect and explore more of their crazy hot connection.
Ben has never called anyone Daddy before but it came so easy to him that first time, and it definitely has Ian even hotter under the collar. I love the ease that the two men have with each other. There is very little awkwardness, only coming when Ben gets all in his head about a possible relationship and coming from a fostering childhood, he doesn't have much trust in people hanging around for him. Ian, however, is the perfect person to show him just how worth sticking around for he is. The dynamic between them is very hot and feels very natural in what they share. The age gap doesn't even feel that big as Ben comes across as more mature than his twenty-one years. I love his life plan and the dreams he has going forward, especially the offhand comments when they start to include Ian in those plans.
It's a pretty low angst romance until an event brings Ian's protective nature out and Ben's history has him wary of things suddenly. It is a well deserved HEA and a great addition to this series. An easily enjoyable romance that has a great balance of fun, heat and heartwarming scenes. Ian has a supportive and fun family and whilst Ben doesn't have family as such, he has surrounded himself with friends that truly care about him.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

Sorta trying to catch up on a few books from my short list TBR piles. Here's Laura John's latest series: Green Springs University. The second novel is "Testing the Goalie."
["It’s my last year as a GSU Koala, and I’ve worked hard to become the hotshot goalie our fans know and love. I could go pro, but that’s never been my end goal. I want to be a doctor, and I’m determined to get there.
I give hockey and school my all, which hasn’t left much time for relationships. Not that I want one, since people always leave - a lesson I learned the hard way.
Despite my past, part of me is over quick hookups and the endless string of one night stands I’ve been entertaining for the past few years. Of course, it would help if I could stop dreaming about my summer fling. The man who had me calling him “Daddy” as if it was second nature. Who opened my eyes to things I had no idea I would love.
That’s easier said than done when I see him again, in the last place I expect: as the newest professor at GSU.
Even though I'm not in any of his classes, he thinks I’m off-limits. Will I be able to convince him that a friends-with-benefits arrangement is just what we need to meet our mutual desires? If I do, what happens then?"]
These two went from "it can't happen" to "it's only physical" to...well, I'm sure you can guess. ;)
From the very beginning, they were playing a losing game if they really thought there wasn't going to be a HEA in the cards for them. I mean, they were perfect for each other. They both wanted the same things in life and in love (even if they didn't know it at the start).
This series has so many characters that I want to get HEAs. Each new book just has more people!
Trigger Warnings: PTSD, darker side of the foster care system, and more.

Format: 📱 eBook 📱
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐.5
Spice: 🌶️🌶️.5
Check CW's on this one, there are some strong k!nks present.
This was a fun, quick read. Like some of John's other books, it's a very formulaic, rinse-and-repeat plot that you can't help but enjoy as a palette cleanser read. It tackles a tough matter or two within it's pages, but overall is a low angst, spice filled, HEA-guaranteed read.
Ben and Ian meet at a holiday resort where sparks instantly fly, and they agree to not exchange numbers when they part ways. The chemistry is off the charts from the get go, and they fall into a semi-D/s dynamic. It's an eye opening experience for Ben, and I love that it teaches him something that he didn't know about himself.
As with John's other books, there's a large element of telling, not showing, and a lot of awkwardly worded time skips. Some of the dialogue also feels pretty stilted and unnatural, with the characters giving an info dump rather than a natural discussion of what happened.
The sport element in this one I feel is low, and I did wish that the hockey aspect had a little more of an impact on the story. Also, this is marketed as a teacher/student story, but again it's not hugely touched on throughout the book. There is a moment of hesitation from Ian but it then kind of... disappears out of the window.
I loved the wider cast of characters, and I love how we get teased with the next potential couple in the series. Rio, Bronny and Monster definitely feel like a found-family for Ben throughout the book. I'm curious to read Rio's book, and the character of Monster definitely has me intrigued and wanting to know more about him, too.
This is definitely a book about an evolving relationship rather than any outside, un-wanted drama, so if you're looking for a (mostly) light-hearted M/M read, this one is definitely for you.

Ben and Ian find themselves needing a break from life and end up going to a private resort during the summer. They meet and have an instant connection that is hot and opens the door to new kinks for Ben. Their time togethers comes to an end and they must head back to reality.
Back on campus, Ben learns of a hot new professor that one of his roommates has. He wants to check out the hottie so he ends up meeting up with his roommate at the end of the class to sneek a peek. Shock is written all over Ben when he comes face to face with his passion filled summer fling, Ian.
These two had such a strong connection but Ian had some issues in the beginning with his ethical viewpoint on being with a student at the same college. They finally give into their feelings and explore their relationship.
I really enjoyed reading these two. Their exploration on some new kinks was handled really well and their connection grew even deeper. The side characters were amazing as usual and I can't wait for Sasha and Rio's story next.

God bless the man who designed this guy's Speedo. It's leaving nothing to the imagination, but I'm not complaining.
In this, the 2nd GSU book, the story starts off steamy and ends that way too! Ben, a goalie for the GSU hockey team, travels to a gay island resort for a vacation. Shortly after arriving, he encounters Ian (the hottie in the Speedo above) and soon that encounter turns sexual. Although he's never done this before, with the dominant vibes that Ian gives off, Ben starts calling him Daddy. Together, they sizzle, but alas, this is just a vacation fling...or is it?
The school starts anew and soon enough, Ben realizes that Ian is the new hot professor at his college (but not his professor) that everyone is talking about. Ben and Ian decide to engage in a friends-with-benefits thing, but they both end up catching feelings.
This couple communicates well and they support one another. While there is a bit of conflict, they work through things by talking it out. Ben is an orphan and was in the foster system, so trusting and depending on others is a challenge for him, one that Ian helps him overcome.
Once again, I love the found family aspect and friend group. I am so glad that we will see more of certain characters in future books and I can't wait to read them.
What to expect:
* College student/hockey goalie MC + Professor MC
* Daddy/boy play
* praise kink
* found family

Ben and Ian first meet while they’re on vacation and enjoy a couple of lust-filled days until they go their separate ways. However, they run into each other again at GSU, where Ben is a senior and Ian just took a job as an English professor. Ben wants to hook up with Ian again and proposes a friends-with-benefits relationship. Although Ian is initially hesitant, he ultimately agrees.
Ben discovers new things about what he likes in the bedroom as he explores with Ian. Ian is happy to find a partner that he meshes with so well. Both men soon realize that they’re catching feelings and decide they want to have a real relationship with each other. Ben is a little scared at first because he’s not used to people sticking around, but he accepts that, just like his friends, Ian cares enough to stay in his life.
“Testing the Goalie” is a low-angst romance novel between a teacher and a student. Ben and Ian are very flirty, and the book spends a lot of time exploring the chemistry between the two men. We also see Ben grow as he realizes he’s created his own family despite not growing up with one. The glimpses of other characters, especially Ben’s friends, add entertainment and depth to the story. I found “Testing the Goalie” to be an enjoyable read, and I rate it four stars.

Ben and Ian, the main characters, are overcome by an irresistible attraction during a holiday at a gay resort. Despite their lack of personal information about each other, they experience some unforgettable days together.
But fate has other plans for them. Weeks later, Ben and Ian meet again, but this time in a very different setting. Ian turns out to be the new professor at Ben's school, which makes for a shocking discovery. Although Ben is immediately intrigued and gives his number to Ian, Ian initially holds off. But Ben won't let himself be fobbed off and comes up with a solution: friends with benefits.
As a goalie and student, Ben is used to having everything under control, while Ian, as Dom, wants to take care of Ben. In their relationship they discover their Daddy/Little boy kink, a dynamic that the author manages to treat in a respectful way. Although the reviewer himself is not a fan of this specific kink, but I do think it's a great story.
One of the strengths of this book is the absence of overwhelming problems between Ian and Ben. Despite the challenges they both face, they manage to build a loving and supportive relationship. This creates an enjoyable and realistic story that transports the reader into their world.

story of Ben and Ian
This is a professor x student college sports romance, featuring Ben “Coop” Cooper and Ian Johnson and is the second book in the GSU series.
This book is about Coop aka Ben and a summer holiday fling aka Professor Johnson and is completely different vibe from the first book of the series.
Ben and Coop meet during summer holidays and have an instant connection, they spend a couple of days together then part ways without exchanging contact info. Months later, it’s the beginning of the semester and Ben hears of a hot new professor, Ben goes to check him out and BAM it’s Ian.
There is a lot of Daddy / Good boy action, initially in the bedroom only but as their relationship develops into more than a friends with benefit situation, that dynamic appears outside the bedroom too. If you haven’t read a daddy / good boy before, this would be a good one to start with.
It’s a little light on the college and sports scenes, but I kind of expected that as Ben is not in Ian’s class and they are trying not to flaunt their relationship around school.
Things to expect in this MM romance are:
College sports romance
Professor x Student
Daddy / Good Boy
Fast paced story
Impact play & edging
Bit of Dom/Sub
Dirty talk and spice
Praise kink
Both fall hard

Testing the Goalie is book two in the GSU Series. This is a steamy MM hockey romance. We get to see what happens when a summer fling turns into a professor and student relationship.
Ian doesn't think they should have a relationship at first because he is a professor at the same school Ben goes to. Even though he isn't his teacher he still isn't sure they should do more. But as time goes on, Ian decides he wants to go further with Ben and they start a friends with benefits relationship. They disclose it to the school, so there is no sneaking around, which shows they have a healthy relationship together.
Ben does doubt some of the relationship as times goes by since he is used to people leaving him and he thinks Ian will do the same. He does openly confess this and Ian is able to put his mind at ease about what he wants for them for the future.
We get to see a healthy relationship develop with open communication. I really liked that this seemed like a realistic portrayal of a developing relationship between two people. They were open and honest about what they wanted from each other. I really enjoyed reading this story because it was steamy, but depicted a very healthy relationship developing between two people.

Ms. John has once again given us a wonderful MM romance. Ben and Ian may not seem to be the perfect pair on paper, but in real life - just wow. Ben is a college student who being “bi” has a playboy reputation with both sexes, but his partners know the score. He doesn’t have time for relationships due to his hockey and college classes schedules, so before hockey practice starts taking up all his time, Ben treats himself to a well needed vacation at a luxurious resort. It’s there he meets Ian, a sexy older man. They spend a couple glorious days and nights together where Ben learns he has a new kink. They don’t exchange numbers knowing their time is short and soon to be just a perfect memory. But what happens when Ben learns Ian is the University’s new “Sexy Professor” that all the kids are raving about? Can Ben convince Ian to give him a chance and continue to see him? Better yet, will the school even allow them to see each other?
There are times my heart broke for our main characters but other times my heart soared. The story is heartwarming, sexy and oh so romantic. I highly recommend grabbing it up. As for this reader, I can’t wait to see what happens next at Green Springs University.

This was one of the best books that I've read in awhile that had the BEST communication between the main couple!
Ian and Ben meet randomly at a resort over the summer and have no idea who each other is at first. After spending a few hot, sexy days together, they part ways and decide it's best to not exchange contact info. Low and behold three months later that they meet up at GSU where Ian is a professor and Ben is a student (not his) Ian doesn't want to pursue due to crossing a line, but can't resist his boy.
Going back to my original statement, Ian and Ben behaved like mature adults and instantly and consistently agreed throughout the story to keep the line of communication open between them so there wouldn't be any issues. We don't see that often and I'm glad that it was here, even with the minor hiccup (but was still handled maturely)
The spice was SPICING. This is a Daddy/boy relationship and is pretty heavy throughout, so if that's not your cup of tea, then proceed at your own discretion.
Plot: 5/5
Spice: 5/5
I received an ARC from Chaotic Creatives and this is my honest review

𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐞 is the second book in the GSU series by Laura John, featuring a super steamy MM vacation romance that quickly turns into a professor/ student relationship of sorts for Ian and Ben. This author always excels at bringing the emotion and navigating sensitive topics with ease. Ian and Ben’s exploration of a D/s was well done, but some aspects of it pertaining to taking the dynamic beyond the bedroom and into every day life just aren’t for me, if I’m honest. I’m sure most people won’t mind that though. They seemed to have a great connection, and the physical chemistry almost overwhelmed the story at times, it was so spicy!🥵😅 The supporting characters were also an entertaining addition to the story, adding to the great found family vibe that was established in the first book! I wonder what will happen in Sasha and Rio’s story in the next book.🤔
I received an ARC for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily.

Ben and Ian meet at a resort and have a hot summer fling, no strings attached. When they part they don't even exchange numbers. Imagine Ian's surprise when Ben walks into his classroom one day after class. While Ben isn't Ian's student he is a student and hockey player at the university. Ian decides that while there is nothing stopping him and Ben being together he decides it's a line he shouldn't cross.
It's too bad for him that Ben doesn't see it that way and feels that a friends-with-benefits arrangement could work for both of them since that's all they have time for. It's seems like it should be pretty straightforward and easy until it isn't because the connection is too strong to ignore.
I loved these two and the deep intense feelings they began to develop. Ben's back story was so touching and added such a great element to the story. Really loved how Ian wanted to take care of him and show him that he would be there for him always and that he was worth it.
Such a great m/m professor/student sports romance with heat and sweet.

This is the second book in the series, but can be read on its own. Ben and Ian meet on holiday and spend their vacation hooking up, both with the notion they wouldn't see each other again. However, their paths happen to cross again and they can't believe it. They pretty much get back to how they left off but feelings come involved very quickly. Ian likes to take control and take care of his lover, Ben is surprised how submissive Ian makes him.
Ben is new to the daddy/boy dynamic and I am not sure I was fully convinced by it, but it continues throughout the story. Put that aside and it was two men who had fun on vacation and when their paths crossed again they carried on where they left off. There is slight angst, which comes down to miscommunication and situations triggering Ben but it is sorted quickly. The epilogue gives us the start of a happy ever after. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

After a summer fling, Ben and Ian never expected to see each other again, until Ian accepts a job at GSU and becomes the new hot professor. Ben and Ian decide to recreate their time together from the summer in a no-strings-attached arrangement that gets very tangled.
Ben and Ian had me smiling, fanning myself and even tearing up. I love how Ian makes Ben feel safe and able to trust and open up which in turn helps Ben to heal from the demons from his past and create a supportive found family.

Holy smokes this book is filled with smutty kink. Oh lala. If you love a good daddy kink this must definitely is your book. I found a great balance between the story development and the kink. It just flows. The story was there and this author knew how to keep the attention of the reader. I'm wondering just how much research went into the kink part. I'm rather on the fence with the daddy trope but this gave me another perspective to the daddy relationship. I did like how the author turned the idea of Ian being controlling to make it work when Ian realized he stepped too far.
Overall this story had a plot and story that flowed well and she made you enjoy Ian and Ben. We were given a back story to each and we understood what made their relationship work. I can tell you this is my second book by this author and I am happy I was able to start at book one.

I absolutely devoured this book!
Ben and Ian from their very first meeting to their HEA were amazing together!
My heart broke for Ben and what he went through as a kid but watching him fall in love with Ian and realize that he really isn’t going anywhere was just so amazing!
While Ian was originally against being with Ben once he realized he was a student at GSU it was fitting that Ian seems to be the one that falls first!
While Ben does have an emotional past this was such a fun, kinda lighthearted read! I would love to get more of them in the future, so 🤞🏻 but such a fun read!
It’s got college hockey romance, student/professor, daddy kink all in one book and written in a way you won’t want to put it down!
I’m so thankful to have been able to get an ARC of this book! And for my sports loving MM romance lovers this is a must read!

(5 Stars)
Ben goes on vacation and meets Ian, has an amazing vacation fling and when it's over, both go their separate ways with the memories they made. Once school starts, Ben is shocked to learn that the new professor is none other than Ian, his vacay dream boat. Going out on a limb, Ben gives Ian his number hoping that he will use it. Even though Ben is not technically his student, Ian doesn't want to go down that route of messing with any student, even if it's with his sweet boy. Can Ian resist the temptation? Or will the need to be Ben's daddy win?
The spice!!! Holy hotness batman, the naughty bits were on fire and amazing. While this is the second in the series, I feel this could really stand on its own. There is a small bit of drama, a quick laugh or two, and the rest is all about the heat and chemistry the two are throwing down. I give this 5 stars.

5⭐️/ 4🌶️ I loved Ian and Ben’s story. So much passion and heat between the two characters.
Can be read as a standalone.
Ian and Ben meet on vacation and have a hit and heavy few days on the resort. When it’s over Ben decides not to exchange numbers so they go their separate ways.
They meet again on campus when Ian is the new hot professor. They fight their feelings for each but decide to be friends with benefits but soon they can’t deny how perfect they are for one another. Ben is scared because everyone in his life leaves and he can’t lose Ben.
Absolutely loved this age gap story!
Content Warning:
This is a M/M romance that features elements of DD/lb but has NO ABDL play. The kink is kept light but with the heat turned on high! Within the dynamic there is spanking, edging, and orgasm denial. There are also subjects such as PTSD, and the dark side of the foster system that are briefly touched on in conversation.
