Sugar and Ice

Rinkside in the Rockies Series, Book 1

De: Aven Ellis

Narrado por: Elise Arsenault

Josephine Rossi has recovered from a broken heart, but has vowed that she's all about the desserts now as a recipe tester for Bake It! magazine. Cheesecake never breaks your heart. Unless it cracks on the top, but still, it tastes amazing if you bake it just right. She knows what to do in the kitchen as far as making luscious desserts. Men? Apparently she's not so good at figuring them out, so she refuses to bother. Josephine knows it is safer to stay in the kitchen than to take another chance with her heart.

Denver Mountain Lions forward Cade Callahan is passionate about hockey but also about finding love. He thought he had it once, but a disastrous romance last holiday season has him keeping his heart in check. While he's fearless on the ice, he's guarded with his heart. Cade is determined history won't repeat itself again. He won't let his guard down until he's certain he's met The One.

However, Cupid's arrow might just strike when these two least expect it. When an oven goes out, and a cheesecake for testing has to be baked, and Cade just happens to live in the same building with a working oven... Well, things other than cheesecake might just heat up in the kitchen. Can these two passionate people learn to trust their hearts again? Can love override fear for Josephine and Cade? And will they find that the combination of sugar and ice is the sweetest one of all?

cute

very cute book no spice at all. like a lifetime movie which is what I wanted so big thumbs up

Great story, Terrible Accents!!!

I love that the author doesn’t let the misunderstandings last for long! Thank you for not dragging it out.
Please for the love of everything holy, stop with those terrible accents! Who told the narrator that she could do accents? She cannot. The British accent is pretty bad but the Belgian/French accent almost made me want to stop listening!!! Either choose another narrator, or stop her from butchering any more books!!!

sweet

A sweet and romantic love story with a HEA. Very good narrators. Enjoyed this book a lot.

The love between the two

I love what she called a crazy family of hers and to me that is the normal. I loved his personality

Super sweet

This is a super sweet story. The MC's hangups are real issues that normal people have to deal with. I enjoyed!

Very sweet and chill

...too mellow for me... a bit too sweet and nice and boring story... i dont know i didn like it at all :)

Wasn’t a fan.

I hung in there till chapter 20 and I just couldn’t finish. While I wanted to relate to FCM I just couldn’t, despite having similar struggles.

snoozefest

The story was incredibly flat. I couldn't get through it. The characters mediocre. There was no fun banter, no chemistry. Nothing flirtatious just 'normal' but incredibly dull chit chat.
hard pass

Nonstop Stream of Angst

The nearly constant stream of repetitive, self-criticizing thoughts by the main character became tiresome for me, and then irritating. It’s like being inside the mind of an awkward, lovesick 12-year old.
