An icy read!

Can he stick to his biggest rule and keep her out of his head—and his bed?
Or will she be able to prove to him that sometimes skating on thin ice is worth the risk?

A lovely and incredibly hooking read. Brilliant storylines with an explosive romance.

Enjoyed every second of this book - I couldn't finish it fast enough!

Perfect for readers of contemporary romances/sport romances.

I love this couple!

Stella Hunter and Teddy Hamilton are a great duo. Their performance of Mason and Harper was so good. This grumpy-sunshine was filled with so much angst. Mason’s character had me feeling a sort of way for a big portion of the book and the performance by Teddy had me annoyed in a good way. That just meant that he delivered a stellar performance and was so in tune to his part. Stella was exactly how I would have pictured Harper to sound. I really enjoyed this book despite the mmc having his head in his behind for a big portion of the time. This will have any listener in their feels.

Great story and narrators

This is my favorite Lakeshore U book so far. Mason and Harper’s story development was well done. The narrators made this a great listen! The emotions that you can hear in their voices made the story come alive.

“4.5 stars!”

Hate to love is my kryptonite I couldn’t get enough of Harper and Mason they had this fiery palpable chemistry. I was so captivated by this story and the representation in this book was everything so refreshing I can’t wait for more of this series.

Narrators did a great job I was hooked.

Angsty

Harper and Mason have both never had it easy, but while Harper tried to stay positive, Mason was very grumpy. He was cruel to Harper and misjudged her. But he did redeem himself, and he became very protective over her.

This is an angsty, grumpy/sunshine, college sports romance with real life issues mixed in.

The narrators, Teddy Hamilton and Stella Hunter did an amazing job bringing the story to life. This is narrated in duet, and they both did a great job differentiating their voice for each male/female character.

A beautiful addition to the Lakeshore U series

This is a beautiful addition to the Lakeshore U hockey series. At first, I couldn't stand Mason, the grumpy hockey hero, but I gained a deeper understanding of his burdens as the story unfolded. Harper, the coach's daughter with celiac disease, faced challenges and reminded me of one of my best friends who also suffers from this disease. The book beautifully delves into their journey of love amidst complex family dynamics. The side characters and their witty banter added humor, and the found family elements melted my heart. Mason's redemption, in the end, left me satisfied. I must mention that the audio narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Stella Hunter was exceptional. I highly recommend this book!
