He's the plot twist she didn't see coming...
Maya Silver doesn't believe in happily ever afters, nor does she want one. She's too busy managing the Book Nook, a cozy Boston bookstore where romance novels fly off the shelves. After one too many disappointments, she's learned that love is unpredictable, and most promises don't last. So love in real life? That's a story Maya's shelved for good.
Enter Nicholas "Cole" Barrett, the Boston Bobcats' star player. He's built his whole life around the game, and it's paid off. He's got his routine perfected until Maya crashes into it with stories, sarcasm, and a smile he can't stop thinking about. She's not chasing a puck or a paycheck, and for once, he's not thinking about the next practice or game, he's thinking about her.
Maya's not interested in being won over, but Cole is used to pursuing things worth winning. And as they spend more time together, the harder it is to ignore the fiery pull between them and the way their connection feels like something more. But having spent her whole life believing true love was only found in books, will Maya be brave enough to begin a love story of her own?
My Review
I received Ice Ice Baby in return for an honest review.
I loved Maya and Cole right from the start you can't help cheering them on as their sweet love story unfolds. I adore Maya because she's totally me and I always bring my book to read in public social situations. I love her job as I would totally work in a bookshop in a heartbeat. I really felt like I was able to connect with the characters and just love them.
I ended up devouring this one in just an afternoon and couldn't put it down till the very last page. I really enjoyed the sweet romance between Maya and Cole. Add in his team and her siblings there is a perfect mix of side characters to enhance the story. The story has just the right amount of spice to balance out the story. Plus who doesn't love a swoon worthy hockey player.
Ice Ice Baby is a captivating hockey romance that hooked me right from the start and stole a piece of my heart. This is my first book by the author and I'm obsessed and look forward to reading her backlist books. I'm very much in my hockey era and this one hit everything I needed, including a super cute dog named Goose. I loved moment of Maya and Cole's story. Highly recommend if you enjoy hockey romance.
