Review: Icebreaker

Book Review: Icebreaker, by Hannah Grace, 4 stars


 

Anastasia Allen has worked her entire life for a shot at Team USA. It looks like everything is going according to plan when she gets a full scholarship to the University of California, Maple Hills and lands a place on their competitive figure skating team.

Nothing will stand in her way, not even the captain of the hockey team, Nate Hawkins.

Nate’s focus as team captain is on keeping his team on the ice. Which is tricky when a facilities mishap means they are forced to share a rink with the figure skating team—including Anastasia, who clearly can’t stand him.

But when Anastasia’s skating partner faces an uncertain future, she may have to look to Nate to take her shot.

Sparks fly, but Anastasia isn’t worried…because she could never like a hockey player, right?

Review: I really enjoyed reading Icebreaker. I found the characters and the writing compelling and while the story is a bit (or a lot) predictable, it's still a fun book.

I would have preferred less sex scenes (too much is just too much) and less drinking all around (and less drunken sex, while we are at it). Seriously, after a while it seems like these college students do nothing all day/night than drink and have sex. While it's probably accurate at some level, it still leaves a bad impression (and passes on a wrong message). 

In any case, I had fun with Icebreaker and I intend to read the other books in the Maple Hills series too. I'll post reviews soon.

Happy readings!
