A review by emhawes
Icebound by Meredith Trapp

4.5

I really, really loved this book - pretty much everything that I could have ever asked for in a hockey romance. Rhode is an absolutely DREAMY MMC and the way that he fell so hard and so completely for Nina was just so wonderful! Both Nina and Rhode are great characters on their own, but I cannot get over how perfect they were together.  I really loved their meet-cute and how it showcased both of their personalities so wonderfully. They clearly support one another and pay attention to all the little details about what they love and care about. They support each other with everything they've got and I just feel like it's such a wonderful example of love. Even when they're trying to stay away from each other, there is absolutely nothing they wouldn't do to help the other one. 
I also think Meredith Trapp did a fantastic job with Nina as an anxiety rep. 
Also, the Rhode/Patty/Cruz friendship is one of the best examples of a healthy male friendship I've ever read. They're so supportive and make each other realize their mistakes. I am so excited for Patty's book "Homebound" and have decided that if I don't get a Cruz/Wyn romance I will riot (but not actually because I'm sure whatever Meredith Trapp decides to do will be perfection!)

This book lost half a star for me only because I got a little bit tired of the "but you're so young" conversations that happen.
