I never meant to say a word, not one single word. But I did. Now because of something I leaked—without even realizing it—I've inadvertently broken up one of the Ice Knights’ most legendary bromances. And worse—I've kicked hockey star Ian Petrov's grumpy level to insane levels of grump. And what could make it worse? How about the two of us being trapped together in a remote cabin after a massive blizzard. Neither of us can leave. Just us, the snow, his resentment, and OMG sexual tension so thick it would take a snowplow to break through it. I’ve got to get out of here before I do something even dumber than I’ve already done and kiss the sexy grouch with his misplaced anger and perfect pecs. That would be the worst, the absolute worst. But... would it be terrible if we gave in? Just a little? It’s not like we’re ever going to have to spend time together again. Until the next morning when we’re told we have to play chummy for the press until this news cycle blows over. F.M.L. Each book in the Ice Knights series is STANDALONE: * Parental Guidance * Awk-Weird * Loud Mouth

This romance lacked any sort of depth, especially in the case of the heroine. We saw very little character development from that quarter. Nothing happened to her and for her, that wasn't related in some way to the hero. There was also very little development in the romance department. We saw the hero and heroine have maybe 3 meaningful interactions and suddenly they were in love? The romance was definitely lacklustre.
However, what did work for me was the hero's lack of elite-level talent. Often in sports romances, it feels like every player is a star, especially when they are being pitted against formerly famous parents, the characters always end up on top. It was therefore really refreshing to read a sports romance where the main character was significantly less talented than their family members and had to come to terms with what that meant for them. It was also nice to see the hero eventually succeed in a slightly different arena. I really enjoyed that aspect of this book otherwise it would probably have been a 2 star read for me.
