Thin Ice

I received this book for free from Gay Romance Reviews in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Okay, so let me preface this by saying I have been in my hockey romance reading era lately. I think in the last two to three months, I have devoured 20+ hockey romance books. As soon as I saw Lane Hayes was releasing Thin Ice, I knew I had to read it! I did receive an advanced reader's copy of this book, but that does not change or sway my opinion.

Bryson and Smitty both agreed their one night was just that, one night. But isn't it funny how things don't always go as planned? Especially when Bryson's one-night stand is his son's hockey rival. Heading back to the ideal town of Elmwood, Bryson couldn't get Smitty out of his head, and that was the end of it. Or so he thought. Wouldn't you know it? A few weeks later, Smitty shows up in town!

Thin Ice explores the small-town romance genre mixed with hockey/sports in a perfect balance. I have to give Lane Hayes an A+ for the dad jokes sprinkled in; I love them! As the book progresses, we learn what is truly holding Bryson back and watch Smitty slowly break down those guarded walls. If you are looking for heat, Thin Ince packs it!

Overall, Thin Ice was a fantastic read, and I will definitely read it again. I have not read the other books in the series, but I am definitely considering it now after reading this one. If you are looking for a small-town romance with hockey, this one is for you! I can't wait to read what Lane Hayes writes next!
