Icebreaker

Leonie

Nothing about therapy gets easier. You just learn to accept those hard conversations are worth it when your feelings become more manageable.

Looking at her makes me want to be the funniest guy in the room, so I can be the one to make her laugh.

Sometimes I don’t use the brain I’ve been given.

Sabrina McCarthy

“I don’t know, but I’d like you if you had crab hands too.” 

“I’m waiting for you to move your ass over here and sit on my face, Anastasia. What does it look like I’m doing?”

I'll only ever let my feminism shrivel up for thick thighs and dimples. Emphasis on thick thighs. 

I’ve been totally and utterly unhinged by a man. I’m disgusted with myself, for being distracted, for knowingly letting every slither of feminism shrivel up and die over dimples and thick thighs.

taci

"I'm heavy," she mutters as my arms scoop under her legs and around her waist. We leave Brady and Shithead behind us as I start the walk toward the locker rooms, where the first aid room is. "Shut up, Anastasia. You're not even half my warm-up weight."

"We're going all the way. I can feel it. If we keep up what we're doing, you stick to your meal plan. We can smash it."

Sophie Hutchings

Looking at her makes me want to be the funniest guy in the room, so I can be the one to make her laugh. But I'm going to have to settle for her not scowling at me for now.

"You don't hate me like you pretend you do, do you? If you want me on my knees, Anastasia, we can make that happen."

"Ask me nicely. Let me show you how much I like it when you're nice." 

"We're going to be spending so much time together, Anastasia. I'm about to cockblock you at every available opportunity. You can do what you want, obviously. But good luck trying to fuck someone that's not me." 

Her eyes brighten, heat flushing her cheeks instantly. "Is that supposed to be endearing? Feels a little possessive and toxic." 

The corner of my mouth tugs up, loving that this is my day now. "Don't give me that shit. I've seen what you have on your smutty bookshelf" 

hannah groom 

“I can’t believe you think I could ever reject you, Anastasia,” he said in shock. “You have no idea, do you? The lengths I’d go to if you’d let me. What I’d do to make you happy.” 

Loving someone but feeling relief not speaking to them, it's a huge conflict in a person's mind, but it doesn't make you bad in any way, it makes you human."

“I know you don’t, but you’re worth defending.”

Mary Carmona

He's excited to ambush—his words, not mine—Stassie with me, and watch me get shot down. Bold of him to asume that I'll get close enough to be shot down. 

‘’Poor girl would rather give herself a concussion than speak to you, Hawkins. That's rough, buddy," Robbie says, earning a chorus of snickers from the rest of the team. 

"Hey, funny guy," I bite back. "Did you know your girl has seven older brothers?’’

His face pales. "Please tell me you're joking." "Oh, I wouldn't joke about something as funny as this.’’

this was gen so bad lol.... it felt like straight out of wattpad and not only that but a bit childish too like the whole promise thing at the beginning like what are we in the 2nd grade????

<blockquote>"You have no idea, do you? The lengths I'd go to if you'd let me. What I'd do to make you happy." My heart did a weird thing I've only read about. A mix between a thud and a flutter, the kind that made me question whether it would continue to function properly.”</blockquote>

«Vorrei tanto che non ci fosse stata nessuna prima di te, ma non posso cancellare il passato. Posso prometterti, però, che non ci sarà mai nessuna dopo di te.» ♡ Anastasia Allen si allena da tutta la vita per realizzare il suo sogno: partecipare alle olimpiadi come pattinatrice di figura. È forte, tenace, determinata, organizzata (a livelli quasi ossessivi) ed è pronta a tutto pur di riuscire nel suo intento. Il suo partner di pattinaggio, Aaron Carlisle, (uno stronzo senza eguali) è un fenomeno in pista, ma molto meno come essere umano. Le strade dei pattinatori di figura e della squadra i hockey si incrociano quando, per via di una "bravata", una delle due arene del college viene resa inuilizzabile, quindi i due gruppi sportivi si ritrovano a doversi dividere un'arena. Riuscirà la piccola ma tenace Anastasia a farsi rispettare da Nate e la sua squadra? Riuscirà Nate a dimsotrare ad Anastasia che alla fine i giocatori di hockey non sono così male? Enemies to lovers, forced proximity,spicy, ragazzi che dire... In tantissime avremmo voluto un Nate Hawkins nella nostra vita 😜

But when her skating partner gets injured, Nate looks like her best option to advance in competition. Sparks fly, but Anastasia isn't worried. After all, she doesn't have time for a relationship ... right?

the way she went from hating this dude to living with him and making her whole life about him in 20 seconds is hilarious

I could have read this for free on wattpad. 

i read this as a joke because i’ve made fun of it for so long, but it’s honestly not too bad. the plot was fun and the romance was sweet! SOOO glad the final conflict wasn’t over a silly miscommunication.

Icebreaker by Hannah Grace was by far one of the most amazing books I have ever read. This book is 100% on my favorites list.

Isabella Ebacher

Anastasia Allen has worked her entire life for a shot at Team USA.

A competitive figure skater since she was five years old, a full college scholarship thanks to her place on the Maple Hills skating team, and a schedule that would make even the most driven person weep, Stassie comes to win.

No exceptions.

Nathan Hawkins has never had a problem he couldn’t solve. As captain of the Maple Hills Titans, he knows the responsibility of keeping the hockey team on the ice rests on his shoulders.

When a misunderstanding results in the two teams sharing a rink, and Anastasia’s partner gets hurt in the aftermath, Nate finds himself swapping his stick for tights, and one scary coach for an even scarier one.

The pair find themselves stuck together in more ways than one, but it’s fine, because Anastasia doesn’t even like hockey players…right?

(UCMH #1)

Starting off with the positives, this book is a very enjoyable read. You can turn your brain off and just let the words do their thing without really having to question things and deduct them yourself. It was exactly the type of book I was looking for, for a quick read between fantasies and larger series. Overall the characters were very lovable and interesting, you could definitely understand them well! The writing itself was very clear and engaging as well. 

From here on out will be spoilers and quotes!

The first introduction to our MMC starts very badly for the intention of making him likable failed instantly in my personal opinion.  He calls his one night stand a “subspecies of women” which is to be honest disgusting behavior. Men who are only deem women they are attracted to (incl. personality wise) worthy of basic courtesy and dignity are still misogynistic! Later on in the book the author tries to redeem this by having the FMC also talk badly about this character. To me this just doesn’t work since it’s never really explained what specifically set them all off but that the only reason they don’t like this character is her having a bit of a harsh personality. 

But I give it to the MMC that he overall redeems himself as this is really the only instance where he acts like this, which kind of confuses me as to why then it was even written in in the first place. 

The he also has a bigger crush on another female character in the beginning which he immediately forgets about the second he meets the FMC, like instantly. It is also kind of never seriously brought up again besides for a short revenge plot and later on for a little awkward moment when he is finally in a relationship with the FMC. It just reads as very much just for the plot. 

At this point I also have to say that I noticed that I just really don’t like insta love, which this very much was for the MMC. 

Now there is also just a lot of issues that I personally had with the construction of this book because a lot of emotional content happened behind closed doors. 

When they really talk their feelings out for the very first time after he spends a night just caring for her, we get “In that moment, it was easy for us to talk about everything that’s happened.” (Chapter 23)

And that’s all there is to the actual talk. The reader only gets to see what they talk about from there on out and this is a pattern that is repeated throughout all the story. When she talks with the teammate who is really introverted, that she bonded with from the beginning on (the first one from the team that she even liked) though, we get told what he studies and that he has to lesbian moms. This happens at like 60% through the book and is seemingly not new information to our FMC, so why didn’t we know?

Then we also never really addressed in depth why the FMC has such strong commitment issues, when she didn’t in earlier stages of her life. Was it because she was given up for adoption, was it because her first and only boyfriend ultimately held her back without meaning too? Correct me if I am wrong but that question was never or at least not clearly answered, only joked about. The main character as well, he has this huge trauma response in regards to his mother but the only thing the reader really gets to know is the she is kind and his father thought she was fierce when he first met her. We have exactly one scene about her and even that isn’t really fleshed out. I would have loved if in Nathans (MMC) POV we could have just once gotten to see her through his eyes and why he adored her so. 

Emotional moments in general are dropped way to early, as when Anastasia (FMC) and Henry (introvert) have a heart to heart where they come to terms with them seeing each other as siblings after she almost died, but it’s cut so incredibly short it might as well have not been there at all. 

All of this is of course in relation to the book still being enjoyable!

One of my biggest issue though is how little sport there is in a SPORTS ROMANCE! We are witness to exactly one Hockey game and one Ice skating tournament routine. Again remind me if I’m wrong but we don’t even know what position besides team captain Nathan plays? Most of the book is divided in three sections; Trainings, Parties and homely and sex time. But even in the training parts we never really GET to see them train only them looking onto the others training or being in their own thoughts about the other one. Not one word of a technique, a game plan or a training regiment. But what was mentioned even less was the actual COLLEGE part, because for too people in the last years of their studies they did not open a book ONCE. 

A lot of things were also just incredibly tropey, which is not the worst thing ever but it still irks me. The relationship Nate has to the Coach is very stereotypical Coach/Player but at one point it just makes no sense. “My life is going to be so much easier when you graduate in two months” the coach texts him, which is absolutely ridiculous since the whole book up to this point stressed the fact that he is actually the first Captain to put a hold on a pranking tradition and is constantly keeping the whole team from doing something stupid. 

Now the WORST offense besides Nate learning how to passably learning how to figure skate in just 6 weeks is definitely the thrown in PREGNANCY TROPE in the epilogue. After saying that she didn’t want to birth a child and would actually like to adopt (which you know would have been a full circle moment from her adoption) we get thrown into an epilogue where she is accidentally pregnant. This is also just one year after she graduated and while yes she won olympic gold just before she found out, these are supposed to be her golden years as an athlete, so this pregnancy marks them as officially over. Throughout the book we see examples of a pregnancy ending careers for figure skaters, e.g. her coach tells her, her bladder is never gonna be quite as strong and her body neither. I don’t necessarily dislike a pregnancy in a future epilogue but it just made no sense as to why this one was so early on in their careers. 

Last but not least just take in this quote 

(Talking about Nate in Sweatpants) “Gray, obviously because Nathan Hawkins is a man who was most definitely written by a woman.”

Este libro ya yo lo había leído hace pal de tiempo pero lo volví a leer para completar la trilogía. No me acordaba de muchas cosas pero prácticamente mis comentarios siguen siendo los mismos. Al principio es un libro muy bonito y amas a los personajes (excepto a Aaron), pero luego siento que la historia se alarga mucho y es difícil de terminarlo. Literal los primeros capitulos me los leí en menos nada pero ya del 35 en adelante me tardaba bastante en terminarlos. La relación de Nate y Anastasia es muy linda y me encanta el "found family trope", pero como siempre Henry fue, es y seguirá siendo mi personaje favorito.

Pdt. Aaron es sendo c*brón.

Okay por dónde empiezo… Amo a Hannah pero siento que este libro tiene muchos capítulos de relleno y a mitad de libro se vuelve tedioso y largo. Amo a Nate a Stassie pero siento que su relación se vuelve monótona. Me da mucha pena Stassie por que contra a esa mujer lo que ocurren son desgracias desde tener que convivir con Aron hasta casi morir en una lago congelada. Also que HORRIBLE persona es Aron, es el peor personaje jamás visto en toda la literatura ugh, lo odio. Por otro lado, me gustó haber leído Wildfire y Daydream antes que este, ya que estuve bastante relacionada con los personajes y pude apreciar los easter eggs como la cajita de cosas personales femeninas de Henry. Hablando de Henry seguiré diciendo que es el amor de mi vida. 

no hay p.d en esta review lamentablemente.

I loved the concept of this book and the events that unfolded, but I feel that it is a very slow-paced book, which is the main thing that brings down my rating of this book. Other than that, this book was set up for me to like. I may continue with the series, but this book makes me wonder if Hannah Grace is going to be an author that is for me.

i started this book with a lot of uncertainty. i had heard very polarized opinions: either you absolutely love it, giving it 4 or 5 stars, or you hate it to the point of DNFing. however, it pleasantly surprised me and exceeded my initial expectations.

› the main characters: i adored the protagonists. the male lead is absolutely lovable, and the female lead was also very likable. their dynamic was one of the strongest aspects of the book.

› the secondary characters: the hockey team friends were a breath of fresh air. they were all super charming and added a lot to the story. henry, in particular, is such a sweetheart.

› the tension buildup: the slowburn was very well done. the initial romantic tension and the first smut scenes were fantastic. the chemistry between the protagonists was palpable and kept me hooked.

› the plot twist: towards the end of the book, there’s a twist involving the pairs' competition that completely caught me off guard. it was such a strong moment that elevated my opinion of the book.

› the happy ending: i love happy endings, and this one didn’t disappoint. marriage, a baby… a true fairy tale ending, which was very satisfying.

› lola’s lack of presence: despite being anastasia’s best friend and roommate, lola’s presence felt minimal. i missed seeing more of that female friendship and her role as a support system for stassie.

› aaron as the antagonist: although aaron is a key character in the story, his development felt incomplete. his motivations and reasons for treating anastasia the way he did weren’t explored deeply enough. in the end, he’s simply transferred to another university, and there’s no real resolution or growth for his character.

› too many explicit scenes: while some smut scenes were well-executed, there were just too many. this took away from the main plot at times. some readers may love this aspect, but for me, many of the scenes felt unnecessary.

› the book’s length: it’s quite long for a sports romance, and some parts could have been shortened or removed entirely, as they felt irrelevant to the story.

IN SUMMARY — this is a book i really enjoyed, with charming characters, a great dose of romantic tension, and some thrilling moments. however, it has its ups and downs: certain storylines felt underexplored, and its length, combined with the abundance of explicit scenes, might be a drawback for some readers.

that said, the story hooked me enough to enjoy it, and the ending was a rewarding conclusion.

There is soooo much hype around this book so my expectations were HIGH. It is a good book really, I liked the plot line, the main couple was one you cheer on, and there was an unexpected element. I will however say I think it’s overrated. The smut was not even to the extreme that people act like it is. And it was a huge pet peeve every time Stassie called Nate “bub”……

Zoey Novak

I enjoyed the read, a good story with a good set of events. I wouldn’t say it changed my life, but it was still a really enjoyable read, and I’m looking to read the other books in the series. I’m glad I picked it up even though I saw lots of bad reviews. 🤔

Olanda

Incredible!!!! Loved the spice and the love story was adorable. I loved Nathan and the ending was so perfect!

I LOVED this book. It was so refreshing to see Anastasia and Nate talk about their problems in a healthy way. I was genuinely excited to read this every time I picked it up and couldn't get enough. The banter was top-notch, and I loved the relationship dynamic between them and all of their friends. It did start to seem a little repetitive at the end, and I wish we had gotten to see more of Anastasia at the Olympics or her and Nate navigating long distance. But I enjoyed it so much and Nate is now my favorite book boyfriend. All of the characters were amazing, and I can't wait to read the next book.

idek where to start. it has very wattpady vibes. i considered throwing the book of a balcony.

1) this might just be me, but why are you licking her, nathan? gave me the ick

2) no, it is not justified to pant like a dog, anastasia

3) why are you cooing, you're a grown-ass man

4) the epilogue took me by surprise. that was not at all necessary.

this book could have been shorter by at least 100 pages. it was very repetitive.

henry was the best thing about this book, i love him.

weird, it was like the more I kept reading the more I wanted to kick the main characters really hard behind their knee. dnf at 67%

Mira <3

0.5 stars - I've never read a book where the author so obviously peeked in life before they were a teenager

Jennifer Gosnell

Whyyyy was this book so LONG? 200 pages could have been cut out, easily. It was also very repetitive. Overall it was fun and sweet… but an editor was badly needed here.
