Jesse and the Ice Princess A Sweet YA Hockey Romance
Reviews

4.5 stars Jesse and the Ice Princess was just the story I needed! This book was a fast and fun read for me and I couldn't put it down. I'm a fan of sports romances and it was nice to get a YA one! It was fun seeing figure skating and hockey in one book. Charlotte has been skating since she can remember and she's good at it. So good in fact, that her mother has given up her job to train her. This takes a lot of Charlotte's time and causes many fellow students to see her as an ice princess. All she does is skate and misses out on a lot of "normal" teenage activites! Jesse loves everything that has to do with hockey, but the team he on isn't the best. They haven't won any games and that's all Jesse want to do. His life at home isn't the easiest and not many know everything he does outside of school. Jesse will do anything to make his team better, even if that includes the ice princess everyone isn't sure about. I loved the chemistry between Jesse and Charlotte. It wasn't instalove and she actually didn't like him in the beginning. Jesse and Charlotte had more in common than they thought and it was interesting to see Jesse determined to help Charlotte have some fun while helping his team. The title has Jesse's name in it, but in the end this really felt like Charlotte's book to me. She grows a lot in the story and starts fighting for what she really wants. It was interesting to see her stand up to her parents and say that skating wasn't the only thing she wanted. Even though I would've liked to have a bit more attention on Jesse's home life, it was nice that there wasn't a lot of drama in this story. The author let us know about his situation and hers, but the effects of everything wasn't over the top. I love reading stories like this and I can't wait for the next book!
