Icebound Hearts

Love and Hockey, Book 4

By: Nikki Lawson

Narrated by: Casaundra Long, Jay Tee

Working as a nanny for a pro hockey player should be simple, right?

Except this single dad is scorching hot, a decade older than me… oh, and he’s my brother’s best friend.

Sawyer Townsend is everything I shouldn’t want: a divorced single father with an adorable little boy and a damaged heart.

He’s been burned by betrayal before, and so have I. We’re both determined to keep love at arm’s length.

So why has he been featuring in way too many of my fantasies lately? And why did I walk in on him taking care of himself—catching a glimpse of his many piercings in the process—and hear him groan my name?

Giving in to the attraction between us would be a bad idea… but with every passing day, I have a harder time remembering why.

And when he knocks on my door one night and growls, “F ck it,” I just have to hope that his filthy words, tender touches, and gruff protectiveness won’t melt the ice around my heart.

Because this thing between us?

It can never last.

Sex bucket list

There should be a 9 hour limit on Romance books. Let’s see how kinky it can be like a sex manual.
Telling the ex wife how great the sex is, while admitting it’s just a fling. is not the flex you think it is. I would have liked to see what the ex wanted so bad, and to see her get her payback, but that thread was abandoned.
While I wanted to hear the last book in the series, brother’s best friend is not my favorite trope. She’s an adult, we don’t need a brother to cock block her forever.
I love my job and want to quit for love. Boss: ok, I’ll open a satellite office in your city, I mean I’ve known you for two weeks.

OMG

This book had me in all my feels, laughing and crying and everything in between!! Sawyer is just perfect for Violet..... and her spicy bucket list.... I think I need one of those now too ... Loved them!!

Loved it.

I loved the whole series so far. This is definitely one of my favorites of the series. This book did not have a 3rd act break up so I loved that. I just hate that nearly all romance authors think they need to add a 3rd act break up. I prefer the books that don’t have them. This is a great palette cleanser. I was in a runt and this book def helped.
