Iced Out

Heston U Hotshots, Book 1

By: Veronica Eden

Narrated by: Alex Kydd, Stephanie Rose

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?

4 Stars

I really enjoyed Iced Out! Easton Blake is set up to be a bit of a cocky hockey player, but I feel like we see way more of his good guy side, especially with Maya. He is very determined to show her that good guy side and he really does a good job. I enjoyed seeing him try to ware her down and show not all hockey players are jerks. Maya was a great heroine and it was fun seeing her try to fight her clear chemistry with Easton. I did really like their love story, but I did want a touch of angst or more drama though. Overall really good read and I look forward to reading more Veronica Eden, as this was my first.

Sweet story

This is a favorite book of mine. I’ve listened to the audiobook 3 times now.
The story is just so sweet. The MMC is adorable, he’s kind of cocky but also super sweet and charming. And the FMC is cool. I enjoyed the banter between them.

I like the narrators. They did a good job.

Dual narration

Sweet Hockey Romance

This was such a cute hockey romance. Easton was so sweet and I loved how much he loved Maya.

How protect he is and I love it

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

Easton & Maya stole my heart

Maya was cheated on by her former hockey bf, so she swore off dating hockey players. Easton was so in love and determined to win Maya from the first time they met. He defines cinnamon roll, obsessed bf. Adding Easton Blake to my book boyfriend list.

Both narrators were good, but Alex Kydd is one of my favorites. He played the part to perfection.
