Reviews with content warning for Sexual assault - Icebreaker

Questo libro mi è piaciuto molto soprattutto perché contiene una relazione non tossica e personaggi a cui ti affezioni subito!

Uniche pecche secondo me sono le troppe scene spicy e l’epilogo che era evitabile, anche se solitamente quel trope mi piace qui non era necessario.

Ho letto i capitoli bonus sul sito dell’autrice e sono molto carini.

Non vedo l’ora di leggere gli altri libri della serie. So che usciranno quelli su Russ e Harry 🥰 Sarebbe bello averne uno anche su JJ!

Light hearted and some great "scenes". Mostly a good couple but I had some issues. Likeable characters. Did not like the end, I wish the second last chapter is where the book had ended. Nice start to the year.

Very relaxing and easily read. The real highlight is the cast of characters you get to read about. The only lull was around 70% of the way through during the Christmas part.

Icebreaker was an addicting, fast paced sports romance with incredible chemistry, great banter, and characters who were so easy to be emotionally invested in. Simply put, it was made to be devoured.

Anastasia and Nate are both endearing and charming characters who are just easy to care about and root for- even if that sometimes means rooting against their own wants. Icebreaker isn’t world building or big on immersive description- it’s much more plot and dialogue driven. If that’s not up your alley, don’t pick this up, you will hate it. If this were a fantasy or horror, I would hate that quality, but it made for a fantastic head empty no thoughts read.

There’s one storyline that stands out in an otherwise relatively light story as dark and way more twisted than you would expect: the relationship between Anastasia and Aaron, her skating partner. He consistently gaslights, emotionally abuses, and manipulates her throughout the entire book. If a reader isn’t prepared for that, it’s pretty upsetting especially if you’re in the mood for something lighter and that’s why you chose the read. Anastasia also battles with disordered eating- it can be a lot.

But I do think these stickier, darker parts of the characters add depth and help the understand their ‘why’. Overall, Icebreaker is an entertaining, easy read with some excellent spice intermixed with an endearing and contentious will-they-won’t they.
