Ice Dance Hockey

Heartbreak Hockey Series, Book Two

By: S. Legend

Narrated by: Ryan Lee Dunlap, Walker Williams

DRAMA. HOCKEY. ROMANCE. BATTLES ON AND OFF THE ICE.

“I thought this was going to be the story about how I lost Jack, but it’s not. It’s the story about how I found my way to you.”

Rhett

I’ve made the biggest mistake of my life and I can only hope it’s not too late for me to redeem myself. All my future plans included building a life with Jack, but now he’s playing house with some second-rate hockey coach he thinks he’s in love with.

I want him back, and when my father’s misguided effort backfires, the perfect solution skates right into my life.

Logan

When no one cared about me, my half-brother, Mercy, took me in, loving me as if we’d been siblings all our lives instead of just a couple of short weeks. He’s sunshine. I want to stay close to him, but I know it’s only a matter of time before I become a stain on his perfect life.

Speaking of sunshine, it would be a lot better for me if a certain ray of sunshine, Jack Leslie, were out of the picture. When the hockey God himself, Rhett, makes me a proposition, I know I can’t refuse, even if it means I’m going to hell for it.

Ice Dance Hockey is a fake boyfriend book, with lots of catastrophes, some angst, and much hijinks.

We get to peek in on the lives of Jack and Mercy as Rhett and Logan stumble their way into a love they never knew could exist.

Oh, and of course, it contains the caretaking dynamic Mock (S. Legend and Canadian) is known best for.

It’s a verified member of the Hot Pink Peaches Club.

Absolutely Fantastic!!!! Wow!!!

Must read Hearbreak Hockey first before this one!! And if listening to it, up the speed to 1.2.
I don’t even know where to start with this review cause the whole book was 🧑‍🍳💋!!! I appreciate the fact that the author continued the loving & growing relationship of Mercy, Jack & baby Stan while diving deep into the love story of Rhett & Logan! Rhett went from being highly disliked in book 1 to being absolutely perfect!! Almost wished Jack would go back to him but totally get and approve of why everyone ended up with their loves!
Without giving the goods away, yall must be prepared to laugh a lot, cry, be in shock, roll your eyes, yell and whatever other actions you feel acceptable for this book! It had it all! Well done to S.Legend for this masterpiece!

Roller coaster ride

This book took you for a ride. I was so against Rhett in the beginning and it took a long time for me to come around to him. I almost thought it wasn’t going to happen but he wormed his way in by the end. I enjoyed his and Logan’s story and how it unfolded. I also loved that we got so much more of Jack and Merc.

Ice Dance Hockey is the second book in the Heartbreak Hockey series. This is Rhett and Logan’s book. We meet Rhett in book one. He is Jack’s ex-boyfriend. He is still obsessed with him and still thinks there may be a chance they end up together. Rhett is the governor’s son. He was born into a wealthy family and then invested all of his hockey money. He is an extremely wealthy twenty-five-year-old. We also get a glimpse of Logan at the end of book one. He is the half-brother of Mercy. Mercy’s mom asks if Logan can come stay with him and Jack for the summer before college. Logan is an elite ice dancer. He has received a scholarship to New York; the only problem is he has to live on campus the first year. Logan’s mom gambled all of his living expenses away. Now he has to find a way to make cash fast. Rhett’s father is determined to get Jack back in a relationship with Rhett. He is willing to ruin Jack’s NHL career to do so. Rhett comes up with a “fake dating arrangement” to get his father to leave Jack’s career alone. Rhett has promised to pay all of Logan’s housing and give him a limitless credit card in exchange for “fake dating” him. Logan is the complete opposite of Jack. Rhett slowly starts realizing he might actually love Logan. This book may have Trigger Warnings for some. I loved this book! I can’t wait for more from this series.

Ryan Lee Dunlap and Walker Williams did a phenomenal job narrating this book in duet style narration. Walker Williams was the perfect person to bring Rhett to life. He does an amazing job with the slightly unhinged character ls beautifully.

Fun addition to the series

Book: 4.5/5
The majority of this book was OTT and wonderful in its ridiculousness. Just overall enjoyable. However, the plotline with Rhett's dad is OTT bad, and I was shocked there were no consequences to his actions that caused a lot of trouble. Sad commentary that massive wealth and power means getting away with things. But I'd have expected the characters in the book to have more reaction, even if legally there wasn't. I loved all the Jack and Mercy scenes! I'm still looking forward to the rest of the series!

Audio: 5/5
This was again a massive success for both narrators - different ones from book one. They brought a lot of emotion and connection to the story. Great job!

So Much Character Growth

Book 2 of the series and while there is a lot of crossover, you can read this one first. My recommendation for best impact, please read in sequence.

I started this book not liking Rhett. He was arrogant and selfish and wanted to break up Jack and Mercy so he could have Jack back (even though he didn't really deserve Jack based their history in book 1). But that changed over time as he became soft for Logan and it brought out a caretaker vibe that I loved.

Logan was like a hissing kitten. Wanting so hard to belong and feel welcomed, wanted, loved but not knowing how to accept those things. Seeing his trust build with Rhett, seeing him become vulnerable with the whole family clan and confiding in Jack, it was so rewarding. He really did flourish and find his own strength of self.

I absolutely love found family as a trope and both the family aspect for Mercy's clan as well as Jack's teammates. It makes me all warm and fuzzy.

The audiobook was performed in duet by Ryan Lee Dunlap and Walker Williams. Ryan did a great job as wounded prickly Logan. The way he made me feel all his false bravado, his desperation and his lonely longing, it was made all the sweeter by the joy of acceptance and peace at the end. Walker's deep tone was alarmingly good at giving arrogant and pompous in the beginning. He made me fall for Rhett as he opened up, became self aware and genuinely cared for Logan. I could hear the growth.

I requested and was provided with an advanced copy of the audiobook. These are my honest opinions.
