Breaking the Ice by Whitney Dineen

Breaking The Ice by Whitney Bohlen Dineen is a clean small-town hockey romcom and part of the series: Love on Thin Ice. Ellie helps take care of her mom, her friends’ children, and she teaches skating to beginners, but does not really like the famous Zachary she has heard about on the news. Zachary is very wealthy and escapes to Maple Falls to escape bad press and his sister-in-law sets him up to stay in Ellie’s cottage. She is not thrilled, but needs the money for her mom’s care.

This dual POV sweet romance was very engaging. I enjoyed visiting Maple Falls and watching Ellie and Zach change, become friends, and fall in love. The story is a quick fun delightful read. Ellie and Zach have great chemistry, and it was fantastic to read a story where both characters helped to take care of their families. I enjoyed this quick read and it kept me very engaged.

The small-town setting, interesting characters, and Zach and Ellie’s chemistry made Breaking The Ice a wonderful read that I highly recommend. This will be on Kindle Unlimited  publishes digitally August 22. 

I was given a copy by the publisher and not required to write a positive review.

USA Today Bestselling author Whitney Dineen is a rock star in her own head. While delusional about her singing abilities, there’s been a plethora of validation that she’s a fairly decent author (AMAZING!!!). After winning many writing awards and selling nearly a kabillion books (math may not be her forte, either), she’s decided to let the voices in her head say whatever they want (sorry, Mom). She also won a fourth-place ribbon in a fifth-grade swim meet in backstroke. So, there’s that.

Whitney loves to hang with her kids (a.k.a. dazzle them with her amazing 80's dance moves, serenading them to Bohemian Rhapsody, and binge watch Ted Lasso ), bake stuff, eat stuff, and write books for people who "get" her. She thinks french fries are the perfect food and Mrs. Roper is her spirit animal.
