As You Ice It

An Appies Hockey Romance

De: Emma St. Clair

Narrado por: Emily Ellet, Rock Engle

If at first you don't succeed, do not try, try again. At least not when it comes to dating a hockey player.

When Naomi met Camden Cole on Oakley Island, she assumed he would be gone in a week or two like any other tourist passing through. Perfect for a fun summer relationship. A temporary one.

As a single mom to ten-year-old Liam, she's not holding out hope for husband material and is way too skittish about commitment to consider more. So when both Naomi and Liam start getting too attached, she cuts Camden loose. Better to end things before either of their hearts could get broken.

But the joke's on her—they broke anyway. As an added punchline (and gut punch), her job relocates her to the town of Harvest Hollow—where Camden plays for the Appies.

It's fine, Naomi tells herself. He's a professional hockey player with a busy career. Their paths will never cross. And they probably wouldn't have—if not for Liam's newfound hockey obsession. Now, Naomi is right back where she was last summer—with the same feelings and the same desire to protect her and Liam.

But when Camden wants to go all-in with her and Liam, is Naomi ready to stop running?

As You Ice It is a closed-door hockey romance with all the sizzle and swoon, but no spice. This is part of the Appies hockey romance series. These books are standalones but may be best enjoyed in order.

Wonderful Series Conclusion!

Well, I loved this story! What a treat to have a bonus Appies book that is also connected to the Oakley Island stories. I've been listening to the Oakley Island books, with only Izzy and Liam's story left to read. So, I wanted to make sure that I read As You Ice It before reconnecting with those characters when they are adults.

I actually loved the communication between these two. Aside from Cam being reticent about the pain that he experienced from his family, he and Naomi did a good job of communicating as they restarted their relationship. They had some important conversations about why things ended and Cam was very upfront about how much he had missed Naomi and how he wanted a serious relationship with her.

The audio book was a joy to listen to, with the narrators doing a wonderful job with the voices for the characters. This book was a heartwarming read from start to finish.

Fantastic story

Wonderful story with fun banter and so sweet and swoony. The characters are fantastic and I loved the friendships and found family relationships. The narrators are great and bring the great story to life, I highly recommend.

A Fun Innocent Hockey Romance

No sex but lots of hockey romance. I enjoyed the story and it's small twists. I enjoy the narrators, as I recognize their readings.
