Book Blurb:
Ellie Harris learned the hard way just how quickly life can change. In the blink of an eye she lost her boyfriend, her place to live, and the only family she had. She couldn't risk losing her university financial aid too.
After her best friend and fellow competitive skater, Natalia Ford, hatches a plan to save her future, Ellie ends up on the doorstep of her mother's ex-husband and Westgate University men's hockey coach, Hudson Grant.
While living with the step father she never really knew, tension grows between Ellie and Hudson, thickening when Natalia finds herself at the center of it, and hidden secrets are revealed.
The three of them may be considered experts on the ice, but when their frozen desire begins to melt, will it cause them all to break?

Thoughts:
Ellie (FMC #1) finds her mother and boyfriend (who is on the mens hockey team for the college she goes to) in bed together upset she goes to see her step father who ends his relationship.
A time jump occurs now Ellie finds herself in a bit of a pickle... her ex-step dad worked for the school as the men's hockey coach and she was getting her schooling paid for through his resources... now that has been cut off with the divorce and since she's not on speaking terms with her mom she might have to leave school which she doesn't want to do, she likes it there and she has a spot on the women's hockey team.
Her friend Natalia (on the figure skating team) comes up with a plan for her which involves asking for help from Hudson (the ex-step dad) if she can move in with him it will help with costs... he agrees to this.
Soon after Natalia is coming over to spend time with Ellie (both girls have a crush on Hudson)... Natalia is a beautiful girl and goes after what she wants... Ellie walks in on her and the ex-step dad thinking that she has been betrayed again... or has she?
Natalia speaks with Hudson asking if he would be interested in adding Ellie to their bedroom activities and he agrees... but only if Ellie is comfortable with it, even though Ellie has never been with a woman she very easily gets talked into bedroom activities with Natalia and Hudson... but naturally this needs to be kept quiet because he works for the school and could lose his job as he is now in a secret relationship with not just 1 but 2 students (one being his former step-daughter).
This is a shorter book and while the narrators Rylee Kuberra, Jade Valentine and Luke Persiani did a good job with what was there for the story... the plot was minimal.
Ellie being a hockey player doesn't add anything to the story as the book doesn't mention any of her games really just time jumps over everything, minimal story is mentioned about Natalia and her figure skating journey and Hudson's coaching of the team.
This book is about 98% spice and 2% plot... every chapter has spice between 2,3 and later 4 people when Natalia goes through a phase where she is wanting to "spice" up their already super spicy activities with another hot dog the guy they bring in is a friend of Hudson's.
I generally like more plot with my books, this felt like a corn movie plot with things just thrown in here and there so it wasn't all spice all the time.
There is some what of a closure between Ellie in her mom at the end so at least we found out more about that.
If there are any more books in this series I probably won't be reading them but if you are looking for something fast paced and spicy this might be for you.
Have you read this one? What did you think?
