Cold Front: An MM Hockey Romance (Michigan U Hockey Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Denver Shaw (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 16 ratings

I never questioned who I was—until Eli moved in.

Niall
I don’t do complicated. As captain of Michigan U’s hockey team, my focus is on the game, not on the charming transfer student who landed in my apartment and upended my routine. Eli shouldn’t get under my skin, but he does—with his easy smiles, late-night cooking, and the way he looks at me like I’m something more than just a closed-off hockey player.

Then I kissed him. I shouldn’t have. But for one reckless moment, I let myself want. Now he’s looking at me like he’s waiting for something—something I don’t know how to give.

Because wanting Eli is dangerous. And letting him in? That might be the biggest risk of all.

Eli
A fresh start—that’s what Michigan U was supposed to be. A clean break from my past and the toxic relationship that made me forget who I was. I wasn’t looking for complications, but then I met my roommate, Niall; grumpy, brooding, and frustratingly hot and cold. He barely speaks to me, yet for some reason, I can’t stop thinking about him.

Then he kissed me. And for a moment, I thought maybe—just maybe—there might be something real between us. But when he's too afraid to call me his anywhere outside of our apartment, I wonder if I've made the same mistake again.

I should let it go. I should move on. But I know those walls aren’t just for keeping people out—they’re for keeping himself safe. And damn it, I think I want to be the one to break them down.

Cold Front is a bi- and demisexual awakening, grumpy/sunshine, college hockey romance. It features a walled-off hockey player and an optimistic transfer student navigating what it means to rely on your partner. Expect hurt/comfort vibes, on-page hockey, and an HEA.

    4.0 out of 5 stars My Brain Needs Help
    Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2025
    I enjoyed this book. The only thing was I kept mixing up the two main characters names. This is entirely my own problem and I cannot figure out why but I really wanted the names swapped for the characters.
    The story starts with Eli arriving for the first time to his new apartment and meeting his new roommate Niall. Eli has just transferred schools and moved across the country after a past relationship went bad. All he wants is a fresh start and he’s staying positive about everything.
    Niall is a quiet, reserved hockey player. He keeps everyone at arms length, until Eli. There’s something about his sunshine energy that Niall can’t help but be drawn in by. But after he tragically lost his parents, he doesn’t want to let anyone close and internally fights to stop whatever this is with Eli.
    The book follows the two as they learn more about the other and their relationship starts to grow. They each have behaviors from their past that they need to contend with in order for this to work.
    I thought this book was great! There wasn’t anything too out there, my only real issue was I wanted the hockey player to be named Eli and not Niall. My brain couldn’t make it fit. Clearly something is wrong up there and I don’t know what.
    This is book 1 in a series and I am interested to read more. There were no obvious hints into the future books or those characters which I can’t decide if I like more or less than having those in a series. Only time will tell!

    Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2025
    Eli is in need of a change. He transfers from his school in California to get a clean slate away from his toxic ex. He never wants to feel that way again and a fresh start at a new school far away sounds like the perfect plan to him. Though things start off a bit rocky with his new roommate. The grumpy, closed off captain of the school’s hockey team. But that won’t stop Eli from trying to get a smile from Niall. Because despite the front Niall puts up, Eli still feels a connection to him. Niall has kept everyone at an arm’s length since his parents died three years ago. He is focused on hockey and this year his grades need to be a lot better. But then in comes Eli. Throwing off his entire routine and making Niall feel something. Something he hasn’t felt about anyone. And he doesn’t know what to do about it. Until he kisses Eli. Then everything changes. But can Niall really let someone in? Loved Eli and Niall’s story! Both have been through a lot and deserve some happiness. Niall has just been through so much and my heart hurt for him. But I loved that Eli was able to bring him some joy after denying himself of it for so long. And I loved that Eli was getting back to who he was before his ex and finding himself again. I really enjoyed their story and getting to know these characters. And of course the hockey! I always love a good mm hockey romance. I’m definitely looking forward to getting more books from this series!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Cute story
    Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2025
    It was a cute story. I hated Eli for quite a while, even though I liked him, but hated him, and wanted to throttle him for being so picky. He didn’t want to change for anyone else, but forced Niall to change for him? That aside, it’s a good story, and I enjoyed the fact that I was allowed to receive and ARC, and I’m leaving my review voluntarily. And Niall’s growth, and handling of his grief was so beautifully portrayed, that it makes up for what I assumed Eli was doing. Hard won HEA and good way to wrap up things. The only issue I had is the fact that I couldn’t connect with Eli, his actions or motivations, but Niall really made up for it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Cute love story
    Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2025
    Okay this was a super cute story!!!

    Niall and Eli are such a cute couple and I love that it wasn’t this quick thing. It was a slow burn because of past events. Eli getting out of a bad relationship and Niall dealing with the trauma of his past was a recipe for a truly lovely love story.

    Eli a bi man and Niall who is demisexual (not super touched on in the book which I do wish we got more on that) navigate new territory between each other.

    I can’t wait for the next book

    Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2025
    Like a puck did this book hit me in all the feels and even made me shed some tears but mostly put a big smile on my face. To a backdrop of college and hockey the story of Eli and Niall was heartwarming and utterly adorable.

    I received an advance review copy for free, and this review is my own and freely given.

    I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a well written mm romance with some twists and turns and some unexpected character traits. Prepare to have your heart stolen!

Eli transfers to Michigan U to get away from his past. He moved in with Niall which is the Captain of the Hockey Team. Niall is broken and Eli helps him open up and move on from his past. This was a great read. I loved it and I am so looking forward to reading the rest of this series.

    Amazing story. After loosing his parents, Niall shuts down. Only thing he likes is hockey. Eli moves to Michigan after a bad relationship and now is Nialls roommate. At first Niall is reluctant to let Eli in, but Eli is determined to be Nialls friend. Eventually Niall and Eli fall for eachother, but Niall is terrified of coming out and calling Eli his boyfriend. Will Niall finally let down his guard? Loved reading this story. Thanx.

    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    I spent a good majority of this book going back and forth between which character I love more: Niall or Eli. I bounced back and forth because they both are wonderful in very different ways 😍. Niall's grumpy hockey playing self wins because the grumpy one always gets me 🤣 and I just know he needed a hug 🥺. I loved these guys together. Their chemistry was immediate 🔥. As much as I enjoyed their friendship and relationship, I also enjoyed their friendships with others. I can't wait to get my hands on Roman's book next!
