Icebound by Meredith Trapp

5.0

This book was perfection. The banter, the chemistry, the spice, the angst.. it’s all here and I devoured this book.
Thank you Probably Smut Book Box for introducing this author to me because I’m definitely a new fan.

Art Student/Female/22
Pro Hot Player/Male/33

“I’m well aware that Rhode Tremblay would never fall for an art student. He’s not my happy ending, but we can have fun for now.”

Nina has her career just starting off as an art student, and is working on herself. She has intense anxiety that use to cripple her but she’s come so far and is such a beautiful character. She’s truly relatable.

Rhode is at a cross road of whether he should continue his hockey career or stop and try to experience life outside of being icebound because he wants a family and love and he’s not getting any younger.

This unlikely duo were an absolute hoot to read about. The chemistry is undeniably so adorable. Both Nina and Rhode decide to be friends with benefits once they realize they both want very different things in life because of that decade age difference.
“I hope that whoever created his soul also made mine”

Beautifully written.
Fantastic side characters
HEA although I’m dying to see like an epilogue into the future. lol.
