On Thin Ice by L.A. Cotton
5.0

L.A Cotton once again brings us another brilliantly written sports romance.
Hockey player Mason Steele has a lot of pressure sitting on his shoulders. Knowing his mom's struggles and trying to help with his little brother, he doesn't need the complication of a needy puck bunny and that's what he sees in Harper.
Harper knows she can be a lot and it's not always easy for people to accept her for her, especially when it comes to her father.
We met both of these characters into previous books and because we don't know them, you start to perceive them a certain way.
As we got to know more about Mase and Harper through this book, we start to realise that there is more to them than what we see on we surface. They both deal with things in their own way, where Mase is cold and grumpy, Harper is chirpy and over the top.
L.A writes with such authenticity that makes these characters come alive. The banter between the players feels real, like this is what I would see and hear if I did step into a college hockey locker room.
She writes her characters with such emotion and you can't help but fall in love with all of them. You could tell Harper and Mase grew as characters, they started to realise that they can let people in and not everyone has ulterior motives. I love that when we read about one of the Lakers there's a whole list of supporting characters that are just as involved and are there to quite literally be supportive.
I feel like these books help to show that college sports stars are people too and they go through life with the same pressures as all of us, but its twofold for them, because they've got the added pressure of being in the spotlight.
Another really well written book. For lovers of sports romance, put L.A Cotton at the top of your list!
