On Thin Ice by L.A. Cotton
5.0

Mason Steele is an incredible hockey player with the weight of the world on his shoulders that has him focused on what is important and relationships are not included. Mason tries to upfront and honest even if sometimes he is completely wrong like he was with Harper and you want to smack him around for that, but he is jaded and has his reasons. He is an incredible son and older big brother that does everything for family because to him family and hockey are all that matters. One thing I loved was he wasn’t this big player flaunting conquests around like some hockey players, but he kept his extra curricular discreet and straight forward. Harper liked to say whatever was on her mind, was stronger than she thought, but carried so many wounds from the way her family treated her, but she gave Mason just as good as he did and their anger towards each other was so intense you just knew it would combust once they acted on the tension. The emotions and insecurities with both characters are so real they shred your heart and pulling for them to find their own happiness. Scottie, Mason’s brother was the glue that held everyone and everything together and the way Mason was with him melted my heart. This book was really emotional and full of misconceptions each character has for each other, but it is full of heart and true family that is created by those who stand by you and not always blood.
