Breaking the Ice by Amy Andrews

 πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–/5


Breaking the Ice by Amy Andrews is a sweet sports romance that takes place in a bookshop. If you are a frequent reader of Ms. Andrews, know that this is not as spicy as her books usually are.

 

Sam is distressed when she starts hearing her biological clock ticking and her eggs chirping at her. Meanwhile, her never ending corporate job has become so much more stressful thanks to an inept underling relative of her boss who is out for her job. Admitting to her boss that she is hearing voices in her head pushing her to start a family, he forces her to take time off. Then her favorite bookstore owner, Birdie, dies. NHL star Nick "Hawkeye" Hawke is recovering from a career-threatening injury when his grandmother dies and his family asks him to manage her cozy romance bookshop.  Learning that his neighbor just left her high-stress corporate job for a slower pace and has knowledge about the store, he hires her to help him out with the store. Despite their efforts to stay in the friend zone, their undeniable chemistry and slow-burn attraction become impossible to ignore. After getting to know each other Sam confides in Nick about her chirping eggs and the shortage of the correct demographic men to help potentially hatch those eggs. Nick helps Sam with some blind dates, dates that turn out hysterical. As the lines blur and they become friends, what they both thought they wanted changes Sometimes it takes a birthday, vodka, and a whole pack of Oreo’s to admit what they really want and what they want their future to look like.
