Spinning to the Goal by Christie Gordon

4.0

 "Spinning to the goal" is book four in the desert ice hockey series. It's a contemporary romance series and we follow a group of college friends who are all queer and play for the hockey team. Each book can be read as a standalone but there are cameos and there's a strong found family theme.
This book is Ace's story. Ace is the goalie and I liked him a lot from the previous books. His love interest is Zoma who attends the same college and is a figure skater. Zoma had a bad break up and isn't ready to date again but the attraction between him and Ace is too hard to resist.
The chemistry between them was chef's kiss. I really really loved them together. They were both great characters and they grew a lot as the story progressed.
I also really enjoyed all the discussions about being a professional athlete and trying to navigate a new relationship. It was very interesting.
It was a fast paced and beautifully written book, a fantastic addition to the series. I'm looking forward to reading the next one.
