Author: Kelly Jamieson

Release Date: April 19, 2016
Hailed by Jami Davenport as her “go-to author for hockey romance,” the bestselling author of the Heller Brothers Hockey series sets the ice ablaze with another sexy novel featuring the gorgeous men of the Chicago Aces.
Duncan Armstrong may be an NHL star, but he’s a country boy at heart. His ultimate fantasy is going home with the Stanley Cup, not a gold-digging airhead who aspires to be a trophy wife and nothing more. Newly single and hoping to enjoy a night out with his teammates, he ends up hitting it off with a down-to-earth waitress who’s a complete breath of fresh air—until Duncan learns that she’s a part-time model. He tries to forget about her, but their sizzling chemistry has him coming back for more.
Amber is working hard to put herself through school, and has zero interest in dating a professional athlete. She’s seen firsthand how fame and fortune can mess with their heads—her father’s brilliant football career ended in a firestorm of addiction and infidelity. So Duncan’s attentions immediately have her on the defensive. Still, there’s something different about him. And once she stops trying to freeze him out, irresistible temptation turns into all-consuming passion.

Hockey hotties - yay!
You may have guessed by that right there that I am a sucker for a hockey player book.
I have not read the first book in this series, but this did not at all affect my enjoyment of Icing.
Icing is a sweet, sexy, adorable hockey romance that had me hooked from the moment I picked it up.
Duncan and Amber have trust issues, and as their story unfolds, they were completely understandable. I just wanted to give them both big hugs and tell them that there was no need to worry this time, we can all see how good they are going to be.
As well as a sweet and at times tender romance, Icing is hot and sexy, on and off the ice! There is a feeling of hope that shines through both our lovelies as their relationship blooms and grows (I felt like Maria von Trapp tying that!)
I couldn't help but adore "Farm Boy" and his team mates. They made me laugh, they made me sad, I loved their comradery, their banter.
Now I need to go back and read the first book, and look forward to what else it to come with this series.
