Anastasia (Stassi) Allen dreams about being an Olympic Figure Skater. Between her college classes at UNC Maple Hills, she trains with her skating partner, Aaron, to qualify. Nate Hawkins is the captain of the UNC Maple Hills hockey team. His dream is to get drafted into the NHL after college graduation. When an incident shuts down the extra arena, Stassi and Nate must share it, much to Stassi's chagrin. Stassi originally wanted nothing to do with Nate, but she couldn't deny their amazing chemistry on and off the ice.
I was on the fence with this series. I read Wildfire earlier this year and it was okay. I didn't want to give up on the series until I read Icebreaker. I enjoyed Icebreaker a lot more than I enjoyed Wildfire. I liked how skating was the backdrop of the series. I'm biased since I'm a figure skater, so I felt the setting and plot were interesting. Regarding the characters, I loved Nate. Nate and Russ had a lot of similarities. Nate was genuinely a good person and treated Stassi well. He fell head over heels for her; it was so cute to read about.
One thing I'm realizing about this series is that there's always going to be a degree of immaturity with the female leads. I preferred Stassi versus Aurora for a variety of different reasons. However, Stassi would get on my nerves at times
Icebreaker redeemed this series for me and I can't wait to read the third book which focuses on Henry. I'm here for the smut and this series delivers, that's for sure.
