Iced Out

Heston U Hotshots, Book 1

By: Veronica Eden

Narrated by: Alex Kydd, Stephanie Rose

Length: 9 hrs and 55 mins

Publisher's summary

Dancing on bar tops means the night is going great. Exiting the bar hauled over the shoulder of Heston University's infamous hockey captain? Not my idea of a good time.

But my would-be knight would have to do. I needed an escape route from my brother… his biggest rival.

Easton Blake is the perfect reminder of why I avoid hockey players. Cocky. Frustratingly sexy. Accustomed to every girl in his orbit falling for his charm.

With his sultry smile that tells me he knows all the ways to make girls come undone with his touch, I'm almost the next score on his stats. Except I have no time for distractions when I'm focused on graduating early. Gaining Easton's attention wasn't part of my plans. Of course, from the moment he catches me shaking my assets on the bar, he decides I'm his next goal.

Instead of sticking to my own rules, I do something I shouldn't: I dare him to try.

Easton's never met a challenge he wouldn't accept. He makes it clear he won't be iced out without convincing me to give him a chance.

I swore off hockey players for a reason. Can I risk making the same mistake again?

Sweet, Spicy and Refreshing Hockey College Love

Stephanie Rose and Alex Kidd always hit the mark for me! They did an excellent job narrating.

This story was so sweet. Easton knew what he wanted and went and got it by being a stand up and caring guy. I loved that there was no miscommunication or unnecessary drama between the couple. Maya does a lot of healing with the help of Easton and he shows up for her when she needs it. Perfect amount of spice (open door) and romance. I also think there was a good amount of hockey without being too much or not mentioned enough. Overall just such a refreshing and spicy story!

How protect he is and I love it

I love this book and i am always down to reread whenever i get a chance

Wonderful story

A beautiful hockey romance. A love that grows from their first meeting. Highly recommend to all those who love romance and hockey.

The story was amazing

Sometimes the voices were hard to get past when they read the story. But it was good

Loved it!!

It’s refreshing to listen to a book with mature people that don’t fight over petty crap and break up because of lack of communication. The majority of romance books are full of angst, men with low self esteem that waffle back and forth… mostly BS for 80-90% of the book and bam they break up in the third act like clockwork. You only get to listen to them being genuinely happy at the very end of the book which is honestly ridiculous. If your fighting and miserable the majority of your relationship it most likely isn’t going to work. When I listen to a story i want to escape to my happy place. To be able to listen to a couple have a healthy relationship where they are there for each other in difficult times and good times is a breathe of fresh air. I can’t wait for the rest of the series to come out in audio. There need to be more authors writing like this. I always Google low angst romance. I don’t do drama in my real life and I most certainly don’t want to listen to it when I want that escape. Everyone needs an Asher Blake. Too good to be true but that’s the escape I’m looking for. Well done! I binged this in 1 day and I’ll keep this in my rotation to re listen.

Sweet Damn..🫠🫰🏼

I loved this story, it was a cute plot and such good spice 🌶. Easton voice actor was just *chef kiss*💯 overall I loved it and would definitely recommend! worth it!

Must read

This is such a cute story! Veronica has become one of my must read authors! Anything she puts out is on my list. This book gives you some fierce feels. The very real emotions that this book evoked will make this a book I’ll never forget. The romance was adorable but the friendship formed to create the romance was fantastic! I loved every second, and the voice actors were really great!

Alex is Great

This is my first book by Veronica, and I did enjoy it. Iced Out is a hockey romance and a rival's sister that you will like!

The characters are good, and I liked Easton as a person. He is very protective of Maya instantly, and I loved that.

I listened to the audio of this, and Alex does great narrating Easton. I liked him more because of the narration.

The love between Easton and Mia . You could actually feel how much they cared for each other . I felt it in each character!!

I LOVED THIS BOOK !! ALL OF IT!! THERE IS NOTHING I DID NOT DISLIKE AT ALL . I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT !!!!👍👍

3.75 STARS

Cute hockey romance with a swoon worthy hero. The hero was protective and of course j/p without being over the top. This is definitely a he falls first since the heroine doesn’t want to date a hockey player. I enjoyed the banter between all the characters. If you like sweet romances I think you’ll like this.

Narration was great!
