Ice Block

De: Ellie K. Drake

Narrado por: John Masterson, Savannah Thomas

Maggie James is a smart, ambitious, and career driven woman. When she realizes she's stuck in a dead-end job, she dreams of opening her own branding company. After a brutal day at work, a one-night stand with a handsome Russian hockey player feels like just the escape she needs.

Vladi Volkov is the broody starting goalie for the Milwaukee Steel Riders, haunted by a painful past and a strict no-relationships rule. After getting benched, a strong pour of bourbon and a gorgeous woman seem like a solid game plan. But when he realizes Maggie isn't just another hookup, emotions he's worked hard to block come rushing to the surface panicking him into sneaking away in the middle of the night.

Seven months later they are stuck together at their best friend's destination wedding: same island, one room, one bed. Maggie and Vladi are about to find out that unresolved chemistry, tropical heat, and shared hotel space are a dangerous combination.

Ice Block is a spicy, laugh-out-loud off-season hockey rom-com about two stubborn people who have zero chance of keeping things casual.

Contains mature themes.

10000000% amazing!!!

Holy wow! This audiobook absolutely blew me away. Savannah Thomas as Maggie? Perfect casting. She didn’t just play Maggie—she was Maggie. The tone, the emotion, the attitude, the little inflections—everything about her performance felt so natural and true to the character. She brought Maggie to life in a way that made it impossible not to get fully immersed in the story.

And John Masterson as Vladi? Also perfection. He captured Vladi’s presence so well—the depth, the intensity, the nuance in his voice—it added so much to the character. His delivery made every scene feel more vivid and engaging, and you could really feel the layers of emotion behind his performance.

Together, their narration elevated the entire audiobook. The chemistry between them translated beautifully through their voices, making the dialogue feel real and dynamic. Every interaction felt alive, and it pulled me even deeper into the story.

The narrators chosen for this audiobook were truly chef’s kiss. They didn’t just narrate—they performed, and it made all the difference. Maggie and Vladi felt real, their story felt more intense, and the entire experience was incredibly immersive.

This is one of those audiobooks where the casting just hits perfectly, and it made me love the story even more.
