Cold Shoulder
Living with my brother’s overly protective best friend is the worst idea ever. Especially when the grumpy hockey captain absolutely refuses to put a shirt on.
Guess what? I’m a mess.
I came to Chilmore for a fresh start after my ex torched my confidence, and moving into my brother’s best friend’s apartment wasn’t part of the plan.
Samuel Voss, captain of the Snow Leopards, just so happens to be the strictest, grumpiest, most-infuriating control-freak I’ve ever met. Seriously. This man lives and dies by the rules, on and off the ice.
But somewhere between the quiet snacks left at my door, and testing his patience with my art supplies scattered all over his apartment, there’s a side to Samuel I didn’t expect.
For all the grumpy sighs and endless lectures, he’s becoming more than just the temporary roommate I secretly stare at whenever he’s shirtless.
Like how he’s always there when things get tough. And how his brooding silences somehow feel louder than any words anyone has ever said. And the way he looks at me when he thinks I don’t notice.
The problem is, he’s forgetting his number one I’m off-limits.
Samuel and I both know this can’t happen.
Now we’re one step away from disaster. One near kiss away from ruining everything. Samuel has his rules. I swore I’d never trust a man like him again.
Could breaking every rule we’ve made be exactly what saves us both?
Cold Shoulder is a laugh-out-loud, high-spice sports romcom featuring grumpy/sunshine forced-proximity chaos, best friend’s little sister steam, shared luxury apartments with late-night confessions, and the brooding hockey captain determined to protect her… even from himself.

Loved this book!!
I loved this story of Samuel and Avery! She came crashing into his life and made a mess. But she was exactly what he was looking for, only he didn't know it! Samuel is the captain of the hockey team and the epitome of control. Avery throws his life into chaos, and he absolutely loves it. I love these two together. I love this book and this whole series. I highly recommend! I can't wait for Nico and Willa's story. It should be a good one!

ce troisième tome n'est pas mal du tout. j'adore la personnalité d Avery.
par contre il y a pas mal d incohérences par rapport aux deux premiers tomes qui m'ont gêné.
j'ai failli le DNF à cause de ça, notamment par rapport à Tâte. mais j'ai tenu bon. une belle histoire d'amour.
j'espère que le 4 ème tome sera à la hauteur
