On Thin Ice #1
Counting Fireflies
The winter after I tossed my high school graduation cap into the air, I make a beeline for Canada, seeking solace in a six-month retreat. My mission? To care for horses and breathe new life into the charming farm of a warm-hearted elderly woman. Moonbreak Falls promises to be my haven, my escape from a life of whirlwind family drama and emotions I locked away for far too long.
Just as I’m sinking into the comforting embrace of frosty days, however, Ruth’s grandson bursts onto the scene like a fierce, unyielding snowstorm. This captivating hockey player has the appearance of a fallen angel, and his arrival cranks up the heat on the once tranquil farm enormously. Determined to steal my first male kiss, his electrifying methods send my heart racing, pounding out an exhilarating new rhythm. Love? That was definitely the last thing I was looking for in this icy paradise!
Yet, North Beckett crashes into my life with an intensity I’m not prepared for. And suddenly, all I can do is count fireflies amidst the winter chill.
Beware of the cliffhanger!

Spoiler alert
I enjoyed this book but I do not recommend it. It ends with a cliff hanger. No book should end with a cliff hanger.

EXCUSE ME??!!???! WHAT WAS THAT ENDING. I'M SICK!!!
ok now i've got that out of the way lmao colour me surprised, i wasn't sure i'd enjoy this book, but guess who stayed up until 4 AM reading this book? that's right. ME. the writing may not be the best but the emotional scenes and the intimacy was HITTING okay. it had me giggling and kicking my feet. so yeah it deserves the 5 stars even though it'll never be the next literary phenom, but it sure is a star in my heart 💕💕💕
P.S. the whole concept of the person giving you the right number of butterflies (or fireflies, dealer's choice) being The One is sooo romantic to me. i love that :(((
P.P.S the author uses the same amount of exclamation points as i do lmao

I really liked this book a lot, the way they slowly fall in love and how Adrian accepts his identity is all very cute.
Buuuuuut just when I thought they would have a nice, drama-free ending, when they have the promise of a future together ahead of them, and suddenly that heartbreaking ending. Why did it have to end like this?! 💔
Now I need the next book.

Truth or consequences
Very fine and accurate portrayal of a repressed gay man's self awakening. Warning: the cliff hanger at the end will force you to read the next installment.

It started slow, got ok in the middle, ended slow. Then I saw it was going to end with a cliffhanger, which I don't do, so I stopped a chapter early. Won't read the second one.

June 26, 2025Not bad but given my ho-hum feeling thus far and what I’ve seen in reviews about a cliffhanger and the blurb for book 2, I’m out. DNF @20%
