On Thin Ice
by L.A. Cotton
emotional
lighthearted
tense
"The boy with ice around his heart loved the girl with her heart on her sleeve. And it didn't get much better than that."
- College romance
- Hockey romance
- Grumpy/sunshine
- Kinda enemies to lovers
- “One night only”
- Assistant coach’s daughter
- FMC with celiac disease
- Dual POV & duet narration
This book hooked me from the beginning as Mason and Harper were such complex characters and there was a delicious dose of angst mixed in. Mason was SO rude to Harper from their first interaction. He put the enemy into enemies to lovers 😂. In my opinion, he was literally skating on thin ice!
But then you see him interacting with his autistic brother and you realise there’s more than what meets the eye. Mainly, he’s a hockey player under a lot of stress trying to survive college and selflessly be there for his family.
Meanwhile, I instantly liked Harper. As the story develops I was eager to learn the history behind her complicated relationship with her father. His "indifference and outright rejection" shaped her into a woman "starved of affection" and craving attention and urgh, my heart broke for her 🥺. She wore her heart on her sleeve but she was always so kind and deserved so much better.
It starts as one night only, but then afterwards Mason starts to see Harper for who she really is. Her relationship with his brother cements his feelings and I love how he goes from never to you're mine 🫠. "I was starting to crave her light, her warmth, the inherent goodness insider her." Their relationship had its rocky moments but Mason was committed to letting her in and never letting her go.
Add in some great representation and you have a college hockey romance with a lot of depth that's expertly narrated by Stella Hunter and Teddy Hamilton. Seriously, I'm in awe of how they can so easily change their voices for the younger and older generation. I loved them so much that I instantly bought the audiobook for Break the Ice (book one) because they narrate it as well.
Thank you to Forever and Always PR and L.A. Cotton for the ALC!
