Review: Holiday on Ice

Book Review: Holiday on Ice, by Jaci Burton, 3 stars




Superstar hockey player Patrick “Trick” Niemeyer and dancer Stella Slovinski have picked up where they left off a year ago, resuming their hot, uncomplicated affair. Stella refuses to call it dating, or a relationship. But lately, Trick is looking for more…

Stella’s been burned before—in a relationship she never talks about—not with her family, not with her friends, and definitely not with Trick. But now it’s the holiday season and Trick is determined to give Stella his heart wrapped up in a bow. He knows Stella is the right woman for him, but he’ll have to melt the ice surrounding her heart to keep her from walking away.

Review: I had this book for a long time on my reading list. Not having had a lot of luck with Jaci Burton's books before, it took me a long time to decide to actually pick it up. 

For a novella, the story isn't so bad, but the sex scenes could be a bit toned down to leave more space for the actual plot, and the characters' language also deserved some improvement, as it demeans what could otherwise be a rather nice short story. 

Happy readings,
