Publisher Description
Hate-banging their way onto the naughty list might be their only shot at settling the score…
Eva Bradshaw used to have standards. But with bills piling up and a six-year-old daughter to feed, there’s not much the former Olympic figure skater wouldn’t do for some extra cash, even if it means violating her hard limit: hockey players.
Like the filthy-mouthed, sex-on-skates hockey god who’s about to slide straight into her penalty box…
NHL center Walker Dunn has been stuck on the injured list for months. So when his trainer springs for some one-on-one time with a beautiful woman, Walker’s more than ready to take the edge off… until he realizes the ice princess with the perfect ass isn’t there to handle his stick. She’s there to coach him back into action—whether he likes it or not.
Walker puts the cocky in hockey. Eva’s a champion ball-buster. It’s a match made in hate-bang heaven.
But falling for each other? Never. No way. Not a snowball’s chance in hell…
NAUGHTY OR ICE is a sexy, steamy, rivals to lovers hockey romance and the first book in the Buffalo Tempest series. If you like red-hot, dirty-mouthed hockey players, smart and sassy women who aren't afraid to put their men against the boards, and a big, hilarious helping of bromance, then you don't want to miss this lineup!
Customer Reviews
Mind where you put you Mistletoe…
Characters of Colour?
No explicit ones
Queer characters?
Potential implicit ones, no explicit ones
Disabled characters?
YES! This book, about an NHL player recovering from a debilitating injury, also shows both MCs dealing with bucketloads of childhood trauma. Injuries that are only debilitating in the short term are still disabilities. Winning!!
Worth the time?
Hell yes! A leisurely 4 hour read for me, this delightfully Smutty story kept me hooked with enough plot to foster character growth, enough wit to make me giggle at potentially awkward moments from my flatmates, & enough Smutty Variety to make each encounter feel fresh. What Smut it is, too… hoo, boy!
Shout out to Bilbo Baggins.
Would I re-read?
It’s the first in a series, & the main characters will be secondary in other books. That added context will make coming back to this, after devouring the series, that much more intense. I’m excited to re-read!
Who would I recommend this to?
I’d point this at anyone who likes their romance Hot & Straight, even if they’re not really into ice hockey. If you have a friend who is into ice hockey & has been known to indulge in the odd romance, slide this their way & see how they respond. It could be the opening you both need to dish the deets on all your favourite Smut!
