Learn Your Lesson by Kandi Steiner is the third book in the Kings of Ice series. Although I haven't read the first two books, I didn't feel lost while reading this one because it's an interconnected series and can be read as a standalone. The book was incredibly engaging. After reading this book, I can say that I'm planning to read the first two soon. The writing is vivid, the characters well-developed, and the relationships portrayed in different aspects are electrifying.

Will lost his first wife, Jenny, and since then, he hasn't been the same. He's become hollow and fears losing anyone who gets close to him.

On the other hand, Chloe was raised by her grandmother and mother, and both of them hate men because they were left by their partners. Chloe has always been told that men cannot be trusted and that she shouldn't give herself over to a man because, in the end, he will leave her.

Chloe becomes Ava's nanny, who happens to be Will's daughter and one of her students. She loves Ava and isn't looking to get to Will, the handsome NHL Hockey player, like his past nannies. But, there are sparks between them that they try to deny but ultimately give in with some stipulations. They are not supposed to want more from each other, and Will will teach Chloe some lessons in the bedroom. However, rules are meant to be broken, right?

In romance novels, I always enjoy more depth to my characters, and I love it when they have some baggage because it makes them seem real. I adored how Chloe came into Will and Ava's lives and made such an impact by setting goals to make them smile and laugh. But not only does Chloe make an impact on their life, but they make an impact on her. Chloe ends up making friendships with Will's chef and the group of girls who date some of the NHL players. Plus, she learns many lessons like how not all men are horrible and what a found family feels like.

It was a super sweet book with a lot of spiciness. Will and Chloe complement each other and are rocks for each other.

I highly, highly recommend this book.
