“Icebreaker” ⛸️ I was not expecting how hilarious and hot this audiobook is for a spicy romcom! Loved the main characters of Hannah Grace’s Icebreaker, and the story line of enemies to lovers with a  college hockey captain and figure skater was great. There’s a lot spice especially if you’re new to romance novels. Make sure to read the trigger warnings before.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

I needed to see for myself what this book was really about. I didn't hate it as much as I thought I would,, and moments were actually really funny and heartfelt and the characters were really emotionally intelligent at times. I think that it lost .25 stars with the last epilogue 2 1/2 years later ... I didn't like it at all.

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
Stassi trying to convince Nate to have sex with her when she was drunk. Calling herself an "Uber Slut" on Nate's phone.
I think Stassi thinks she has her life figured out, but in reality, she's insecure about herself. This feels on point for a 21-year-old college student. I try to put that into perspective when I read this series. 

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.

I may be biased when it comes to hockey romances now, but I absolutely loved this book!! Stassie & Nate are just the cutest! And they are a real power couple! I also loved all the side characters (besides Aaron obvs 😂) Lola, Robbie, Henry, JJ, just all of them! The support they show one another is incredible! I can’t wait for Russ & Henry’s stories, & I hope there’s more after that!
