Finally, I gave in and read the "TikTok recommend" icebreaker. It's was a fab read, full of humour, manipulation, unsuspecting love, and character growth. Would definitely recommend it to others, too.

This is one of my favourite books. I'm hugely excited for Daydream to come out and am currently reading Wildfire. All of these books of course feature in the Maple Hills series.Icebreaker is the first in the series and it's filled with drama, sass, romance and spice. Nathan is definately up there with book boyfriends and Anastasia certainly holds her own.Anastasia is the skilled and talented osce skater whilst Nathan is captain of the hockey team. They don't get off to go a good start when they are forced to share the ice rink. But what starts off as enemies soon becomes lovers.I really enjoyed the character development in this book especially as Anastasia has high levels of anxiety. I felt this was written well and captured what it's like to have anxiety. The way Nathan supported her through this was lovely. There's a villain in this book also that made me want to shake Anastasia's naivety at times. But I did have to remember this is set in college. The spicy scenes are great also. And I loved all the friends too. So lots of other books to come.

Icebreaker by Hannah Grace book 1 in the (Maple Hills). This was my first book by Hannah. I've seen and heard so much about this book, so I couldn't wait to finally read it. I was not disappointed. I fell in love reading it and devoured every single page within days. Really loved that it was told by Anastasia and Nate Pov.I was so gripped by the story that I couldn't put it down. Anastasia Allen is a paired ice skater that wants to be in team USA. I loved Stas, she made me laugh so much, the banter in this was brilliant. She is such a tough little cookie too after everything that's against her. She will not let that beat her, from what she wants to achieve. I loved how she stood up towards the guys and the hockey team #giggles. There were some fabulous scenes that Stas did to wind them up, especially Nate. OMG Nate is so adorable, like seriously why isn't there more guys like him. As captain of Team he has a lot of responsibilities looking after his team. LOL there is one scene on the rink where the hockey and ice skaters have to share and I was in stitches. With Stas up to her shenanigans with his teammates was hilarious. I loved the caring and the support Nate gives Stas through the book. It was absolutely heart melting and had me awwwing through it all. The romance was so HOT and SCORCHING and everything you wish for in a romance Contemporary.I loved everything about Nate's friends, and how they all love winding each other up. I guessed quite a bit of the story, as bits were obvious but that didn't put me off as it was written so well. There was a character that I really did not like, if you no you know right. I can say I was very happy with the ending though, it made me so happy. I will absolutely be reading more Hannah books, I can't wait for the next book Wildfire.

To be honest, it was enjoyable but the book is more college life than an actual romantical relationship progressing in a way?( I can't describe it sorry 😭) The book want BAD but it wouldn't be a book that constantly consumes my thoughts.

First book I've read by this author and it did not disappoint. Loved the spice 🌶 loved the side characters, especially Henry! (Can't wait to read his book!) And made me laugh in lots of places too! Looking forward to reading more by this author.

“You’re my favorite”“Even if I had crab hands?”“Even if you had crab hands, Anastasia”I LOOOVE this book. It was such an easy read — so freaking fun and lighthearted. At first it was taking me a little bit to get into it but Anastasia and Nathan are the perfect college romance couple!!The book starts off with an enemies to lovers vibe but Nathan Hawkins robs all the attention with his witty and loving inner monologue. He falls for her first and is there for Stassie through every little bump on the road.Anastasia was so relatable. She puts up this perfect facade but she is struggling with having control over her own life. It was so well described how they just bounce off and balance each other out by being true to themselves.The writing isn’t going to be for everyone (it’s wasn’t for me at first)but the smut alone is insane and keeps you interested in the story.Overall, it didn’t have much of a plot but that wasn’t necessarily bad because every chapter felt different and fun — again just like a college romance should be. The epilogues were cute… but I would’ve loved to see more of Stassie during other competitions and even Nate supporting her.
