I've watched her since we were kids... and after she starts dating my best friend, I know I have to act. She's going to be mine... whether she wants to or not. And anything that threatens that? I'll put down myself.
Addison
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve felt like someone’s watching me.
I can’t explain it.
When I get to college, the eyes are still on me. They’re always on me.
But this time, I have Eren. He’s the first boyfriend I’ve ever had. I’d do anything for him. Even hang out with him and his best friend Michael. Sure, they play on the Titan hockey team together, but I’ve known Michael for years, and he’s nice, but…
I don’t know. Something’s off about him.
I can't explain it.
And then, Eren asks me to do the unthinkable. He tells me he doesn’t want to take my virginity. In fact, the thought of me being a virgin disgusts him to the point where he asks me if I would be okay if Michael took care of it.
If Eren could watch while me and his best friend went all the way.
And then, we’d all just carry on like normal.
I said I’d do anything for Eren, but…
The more time I spend with Michael, the more I realize I’m not interested in going back to the way things were before.
And with the way Michael watches me, I don’t think he is either.
Michael
I still remember the way she looked, sitting in that chair with a blindfold, legs spread wide, open like a gift just waiting for me to unwrap her.
And I did.
Just a taste, nothing more, but it was enough.
To this day, she still doesn’t know it was me. But her essence is branded on me like a tattoo and now I can’t stop thinking about her.
I can’t stop following her.
I can’t stop watching her.
It doesn’t help that she’s dating my best friend and teammate.
It doesn’t help that I want to tear him to shreds for even looking at her.
But then, Eren drops a gift into my lap…
He wants me to be Addison’s first.
He wants nothing to do with her innocence. He wants me to break her in, and then he can go back to being her boyfriend after.
That will not happen.
If Eren wants to watch, fine. If he wants to hear his girlfriend scream my name, if he wants to see the pleasure only I can give her, fine.
She’ll be the last thing he sees before I put him down myself.
Ice & Possession is probably the most unhinged thing I’ve ever written. It is a standalone HEA dark hockey romance with so many triggers, I don’t even know what to tell you. If you like stalker, obsessive Alpha heroes who would burn the world down for their girl and innocent virgins with a dark side herself, you’re going to really like this book.
Full disclosure: I am an acquired taste. I'm a typical blonde Orange County suburbanite who says 'like' more than necessary, laughs loud and probably obnoxiously, and loves to dance in the rain. I'm a 23 year old college graduate with more than a few tricks up my sleeve, and I also happen to be a pretty big Ducks fan. Oh, and I'm a writer. Like, for real.
Trigger warnings are there for a reason… read them. If you’re OK with the possible triggers, dive on in.
Be warned, this is a dark “romance” where the MMC has been stalking the MFC for years. They even go to the same college, where the MMC is a hockey player. Hockey isn’t mentioned much, except that the MMC, Michael’s best friend is also on the team. The plot of this one is a little bit far-fetched but very creepy and extremely riveting. I kept reading, even when I needed to stop (do husbands HAVE to eat dinner every night?). I had no idea where it was going. I only knew I had to find out. So good.

This was a particularly unconventional love triangle, and I’m still kind of trying to come to terms with it. Between the stalking and the manipulation Addison was subjected to, this might be one of the darkest books in the series so far. I loved the chemistry between Michael and Addison, and when he’s in full on protector mode, it was kind of swoony. But, the obsessive side of Michael’s personality was able to go pretty dark and scary, and that leaves me the tiniest smidge concerned for Addison’s future. I’m very curious to see what this series will bring us next. I received a complimentary advance copy of this book through Booksprout.
Ice & Possession is Book 6 in the Crestwood Elite Hockey Academy series, and I think it is the darkest and dirtiest one so far. So, PLEASE read the trigger warnings first as it's a wild and crazy ride. It's a steamy, stalker, love triangle, opposites-attract, girl gets her hockey player Dark romance. Addison is a sweet dancer who is a virgin. She is dating Eren, a hunky, bad boy, hockey player at the academy. Michael is his hunky, broody, best friend who is obsessed with Addison. Michael and Addison have known each other for years, but unbeknownst to her, he has been stalking her since high school...and it's not safe stalking friends. She knows she has a stalker but doesn't know who. When Addison decides she wants to give her virginity to Eren to strengthen their relationship, he freaks out as he doesn't want a pure, boring, inexperienced girl (what a tool!!). He asks Michael to take her virginity and teach her while he watches, and then he's good to be with her. Addison reluctantly agrees. Michael is completely on board and sees it as his opportunity to make Addison fall in love with him and out of love with Eren. OMG, the chemistry between these two was pure fire. When Michael goes all possessive and protective, it's so hot. Even if he did scare me at times, lol. I really did love this couple and how Addison was able to embrace Michael as he was, dark side and all. My only little complaint is that the ending felt a bit rushed, and I would have liked a bit more resolution with Eren. I love this series, though!!.

A strange set up All the books in this young adult, college series has a dark side. This one has a side all to itself. My rating is based on the quality of the writing and the interest dedicated to showing how it all evolves. If the author intended to produce a storyline and characters that create a conflict of interests, then they will no doubt have succeeded. Reviews and ratings are based on how a reader interprets what they read. This story line is sexually based. Abusive and controlling relationships. 2 males and 1 female. The female, Addison, is dating Eren. Michael is his best friend and long time distant acquaintance of Addison..they all have characteristics which contribute to the drama and darkness of it all. I did not like any of them. Addison is easily manipulated by both males, but for different reasons. They each have their own separate interest in her. She doesn't hide her light under a bushell, so to speak, because she is as dim as a tea light and as dull as a grey, gloomy day. Her saving grace that whilst she possess the energy of a corpse, she does show signs of life towards the end of the book. Eren is just a jerk, in possession of a ridiculous level of self importance and indulgence. His duplicity is evident in all his behaviours, yet Addison is oblivious to it all. He is tolerated by those around him and basks in it. He has no saving grace, though managed to pave the way for the other two, because of his idiotic idea and attitudes. Michael is dark and dangerous. A stalker of extreme determination and has little conscience. His saving grace is that his behaviour towards Addison has been mostly intended for the good, but it is highly self serving.

Please for the love of god read the trigger warnings on books as I too often people rate because of stuff they aren’t comfortable with and I say that because so far I feel this is one of the darker books in the series as you have obsessive stalker alpha MMC, untouched FMC, teaching likes/dislikes, emotionally abusive/controlling relationships, love triangle all rolled up with some hockey.
Dancer Addison is in college and is dating hockey player Eren. She is more reserved and has been saving herself but is now ready to take the next step with him to make everything “official” but she doesn’t know this is a problem because he just found out that she is pure and he doesn’t want to be with someone that doesn’t know what they are doing. But Eren talks his fellow hockey player and best friend Michael into teaching her and taking her v-card while he watches and after that Eren is good to go. But what Eren and Addison don’t know is that Michael has been secretly obsessed with and stalking Addison ever since high school. Addison knows that someone is watching her and its slowly driving her crazy as she doesn’t feel safe. Also Addison never thought he noticed her and was focused only on hockey but when Eren presents this idea to Michael he is all in but vows that Addison will be his and only his. Addison isn’t sure but they convince her and Michael makes it his mission to make her fall in love with him and out of love with Eren. The chemistry between them but also the care that Michael has with Addison is so freaking hot and then it comes to light that Michael is the stalker but in a hot protector way, Addison sees the dark side of him and accepts it. I loved these characters
Michael is incredibly attractive and the sensuality he exudes in each chapter he narrated left me hooked. His protective and obsessive side towards Addison made me question my tastes as to how much I enjoyed it.
Addison is an apparently normal and calm girl but hides a dark side where she enjoys being someone's obsession. I felt that there was not much relationship between her thoughts and her actions, but I still managed to connect with her.
I loved that Michael always protected Addison, even from himself and that he chose her above everyone was superior. And their spicy scenes were spectacular, I could say the best I've ever read.
No me esperaba lo spicy que seria este libro
Michael es increiblemente atractivo y la sensualidad que desprende en cada capitulo que narraba me dejo enganchada. Su lado protector y obsesivo hacia Addison me hizo cuestionarme mis gustos de lo mucho que lo disfrute.
Addison es una chica aparentemente normal y tranquila pero esconde un lado oscuro donde disfruta ser la obsesion de alguien. Senti que no habia mucha relacion entre sus pensamientos y sus acciones, pero aun asi llegue a conectar con ella.
Ame que Michael protegiera siempre a Addison, incluso de el mismo y que la elegiera por encima de todos fue superior. Y las escenas spicy de ellos fueron espectaculares, podria decir que las mejores que he leido.
Another unhinged – but amazing – addition to the series!
These stories keep giving us more and more unhinged heroes, book by book. Michael, a hokey player for the Titans, was living in the outlying of Addison’s life since they were children. She didn’t even think that he had even noticed her. But that’s not only not the case, but also Michael has an obsession with this sweet untouched girl. So, when her boyfriend, Eren, makes an indecent and, quite frankly, absurd proposition for Addison’s first time to be with Michael or they would break up (because he doesn’t do virgins), Michael knows that now is his time to get what he wants – Addison – and deal with Eren later, because he has no intention of ever giving her back! Possessive, obsessive, unhinged, but also unbelievably giving and sweet to Addison (and only Addison), he made me swoon and fan myself repeatedly. Addison is sweet and finds herself in an unbelievable situation – she thinks she is in love with Eren and agrees to his absurd demand, only to find herself drawn to Michael. A whirlwind of events, many kindle-melting moments (the hotness is in another level) and an Alpha MC you can’t help but fall in love with – what more can a girl ask to warm her bookworm heart? 5 stars.

This was a really interesting story and honestly, I probably should have read the review first to see what I was letting myself in for, but I've loved the author's other books enough at this point that I no longer feel like I need to.
Addison is dating Eren, a hockey player; honestly, he's a bit of an a-hole and not in a good way. He doesn't like the fact that Addison still has her V card as he doesn't want to put the work into showing her how to do it "right". Because of course, according to this guy, there is a right way to do it. His conclusion is to get someone else to sleep with her, or break up with her. That's the only way forward.
This is where Michael comes in, he's been obsessed with Addison since they were young, and as far as he is concerned she's his and he'll do anything to have her. He's the textbook definition of a st@lker and those red flags were held high throughout the book, but to Addison, he seems more like her knight in shining armour.
It was an interesting read from start to finish and one I really enjoyed, can't wait to see what the author brings to the table next.
It was just a cluster of bad decisions and confusion. It was all over the place with no clear plot. Also, I really hoped Addison would grow a pair simultaneously being controlled by two men she just met! I also hate when books advertise the MMC as being unhinged and they just refer to him being unhinged. If what happened at the end was done by him then he by all purposes has several screws lose but it didn’t even allude to him being the culprit. Was this book just written to satisfy the amount of books required or something? The book ended and I still don’t know what happened. I rarely rate books one star, this one earned it. The writing was just bad, why did it take almost 45% into the book to realize this was a hockey romance, and her being a ballerina literally felt like it was randomly thrown in there for absolutely no reason at all. This series has 12 books total and this was was book six. I didn’t read the five and I have no desire the read the remaining six. Literally what happened in that book? Also Eren was the biggest ICK and she didn’t stand up for herself once. I don’t mind weaker FMC’s, but a guy you’ve been dating for like two weeks has this much control? Just awful!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This was a fast read, too long to be a novella, too short for a full book, it was somewhere in between.
Michael has always been obsessed with Addison, and now he has a chance to be with her, and will not let anyone get in his way.
The set up was a little weird, supposedly Michael and Addison had known each other since they were kids, but we don't see them have an actual connection or friendship, and if he was so obsessed with her I don't really understand how we never tried to even be friends with her, and it never really explained why he liked her so much.
Addison's relationship with Eren was also weird, they are in college but they both behave like they are in high school, him asking her to prove her love to him, and she accepting everything without having any self-respect bother me a little.
Some side characters seemed interesting, and even though this book was a fun, fast read, I don't think I will remember it in the future.
Ice & Possession Crestwood Elite book six Heather C Myers & Frankie Cardona Stars:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Time to read: 4 hours My review may contain spoilers!!!!! Read Trigger Warnings!!!!
tags/tropes/genres Hockey romance V1rg1n3 heroine St@lker hero Possessive hero
We finally get to Michael's story. Michael is the hockey player for the Titans and Addison has a passion for dance. The two have known each other since they were kids. The pair find themselves in quite the predicament when Addisons bf (Michaels best friend) says she has to lose her v card to Michael or break up. Not realizing this is giving Michael (who's been stalking his girl since they were kids) an opening to swoop in and take the leading lady.
This is by far the best book in the series! Who doesn't love a good st@lker romance! Only thing I regret is not finding out what exactly happened with Eren.
Ice Possession by Heather C Myers is a hockey dark romance novel. I really liked this novel especially with so many of the dark romance tropes. The book is book 6 in The Crestwood Elite Hockey Academy series. I enjoyed the immense emotions poured into this book by all the characters. Addison is a dancer in college who is dating a hockey player named Eren. She decides she wants to take her relationship with him to another level. This brings in Michael because Eren will not do that. From here everything changes. I have read a lot of books but this one had a unique spin on it. I enjoyed reading where the whole thing twisted and turned off too. After meeting Michael despite some of my occasional raised eyebrows I definitely was cheering him on and Addison! As always please read CW/TWs! I really liked this book and if you enjoy darker hockey romance novels then check this one out.
This was Addison and Michael‘s story. He’s watched her since they were kids... and after she starts dating his best friend, he knows he has to act. She's going to be his ... whether she wants to or not. And anything that threatens that? He'll put down himself. Ever since Addison was a kid, she’s felt like someone’s been watching her. When she gets to college, the eyes are still on her. They’re always on her. But now, she has Eren. He’s the first boyfriend she’s ever had. She’d do anything for him. Even hang out with him and his best friend Michael. Sure, they play on the Titan hockey team together, but she’s known Michael for years, and he’s nice, but… there’s just something off about him. She can't explain it. That’s when things get interesting 🤔 An intriguing and addictive read for me. Am voluntarily leaving this review.
Michael and Addison. Addison is in a relationship with Michael’s best friend. When he finds out that Addison has her V-card, then he approaches Michael since he is the only one he can trust to take it. Michael has always obsessed over Addison since they were younger. Given this opportunity to be with Addison he takes it and uses it as the chance for her to get to know him and make her be with him. Addison can’t help the attraction between Michael and herself, and tries to fight her growing resentment for her boyfriend for putting her in this position. She starts to view Michael in a different light.
I really enjoyed this book. Michael was so obsessed and possessive of Addison his POVs were the best especially in the beginning in the book when he was thinking about Addison and how much he hated Eren. Eren was a manipulative, douche canoe. The spice in this book was hot and I loved it.
I've loved every book of this series; Ice & Possession is no exception! This book is one of the darker in the series. Michael has been obsessing over Addison since they were children, and in the beginning of the story, Addison thinks he has never noticed her. We soon find out that he is stalking Addison, and the lengths he will go to to make her his.
While this is my favorite book of the series so far, I do feel that the ending was too abrupt, and would have liked more detail about what happened to Eren.
You'll like this book if you like: dark romance, stalker romance, 'pure' FMC, hockey romance, love triangles, spice, slow burn.

Oh my gosh, Michael is freaking hot in all his intense, stalkery, ott self!! His object of obsession, Addison, is a virgin and his teammate’s girl. But not really because he has no intention of her being with anyone other than himself. Heather Myers set the tone for this book with the erotism, the primal energy, and the twisted possessiveness that Michael portrays. Addison is enthralled by him: the dangerous air, the passion, and his dirty mouth cranks her up! The spice is exquisitely detailed, the stalker vibes create anxiety and excitement, and their emotional connection is believable. I loved the bonus chapter and Addison’s acceptance of Michael’s dark side!.

Michael has wanted Addison for years but rather than telling her how he feels he stays on the periphery of her life. That is about to change when she starts dating his best friend Eren who wants her first time to be with Michael, but that is where it will end, and he will remain her boyfriend.
Addison may have her reservations about what Eren wants but she is inexperienced when it comes to relationships and men. Despite his dark side Michael makes her feel safe and treasured especially with everything going on around them.
Two intriguing characters, a little suspense and some twists as Michael has no limits when it comes to protecting Addison and no limits when it comes to those who mean her harm.
Crestwood Elite Hockey books never let me down for dark romance books, but this one might be the darkest. Addison, our FMC, is super sweet and innocent. Her character is written well and idealizations are true to form. Eren, is the guy we all love to dislike. He has his own values and doesn’t care who he steps on to make sure he gets them. In this case, he doesn’t date innocent women, but wants Addison. So he comes up with the worst love triangle of his friend, Michael, to “prep” Addison, his girlfriend, for him. Yikes!!! On top of this, Michael, has been stalking Addison. The culmination of all this madness is a deliciously dark romance that is a wonderful read!.

I thought the whole plot was goofy. H has been obsessed with h for years. Has been stalking her too. h starts to date his BFF (OM), and finally, H decides he’s waited long enough
OM doesn’t want to be the one to break her v-card 🤪🤪 so he wants H to do it. But he wants to watch. Lol The whole book is H working h up to “love” him before the BIG NIGHT. Naturally, she develops feelings for H and starts to realize OM may not be so nice.
The BIG NIGHT comes, and it’s just as awkward as you’d imagine. H is shagging h in front of OM. Then finally H is like “you’re mine” and h is like “I’m yours” ❤️ and they tell OM to scram. 😂😂
The epilogue tells us that OM is now mysteriously dead.
Ice and Possession is the 6th book in series and these men just keep getting more unhinged. Micheal is obsessive of Addison and has been stalking her since they were younger. Addison has always felt she’s had eyes on her, she just had no idea who it was. P.S. Eren is a real douche!! Michael wants Addison enough to take Eren up on an insane offer. Addison and Michael find themselves in a situation that only makes Michael’s obsession greater and has Addison drawn to him. In his defense Michael 100% warns her that she will be his! Opposites truly do attract, Addison’s innocent and kind heart is perfect for Michael’s alpha possessiveness. This was one of my favorite couples from the series.
I’ve adored reading this series. I’ve not read them totally in order and they were still amazing! This one was by far the best of the ones I’ve read! It is dark and has some themes that to some may be harder to read but once you’ve read the TW and dive in you won’t be disappointed! I absolutely loved Michael and his stalker/obsessive behaviour. He is the definition of a morally grey boyfriend and I’m sure anyone who reads this book will both love him and shake their head at the things he does. Eren on the other hand is just plain awful and I wasn’t sad he got his karma. The spicy parts were delicious and made even me blush!! I can’t wait to read the rest to see what mayhem and madness comes next. This series is about ice hockey but it’s also so much more! I’d give this series more stars if I could 💜
🏒 Dark romance 🏒 Hockey 🏒 Obsessed stalker MMC x Innocent FMC 🏒 A shopping list of triggers
And we're back in the Crestwood Elite world for book 6 of the series and what a book it is. This was one of the strangest and most unconventional love triangle stories I've ever read, but weirdly it just works. Mainly owing to how unhinged Michael is in his need for Addison, their connection is undeniable and had be rushing through the pages trying to find out what would happen next.
Make sure you read your triggers though as there are a lot of them and I'd hate for you to go into this expecting it to be something it's not and then slamming the author as a result.
It’s a dark and twisted romance. A lot more darkly intense then the pervious stories , if that was possible, those were tame compared to this one. Loved it from start to finish. Micheal isn’t the easy going guy we read in pervious stories, there’s a whole dark side that would probably match the Wolfes but he could probably out beat them in his bloody dark and twisted secrets, just to keep Addison to himself and no one alive has touched or if you do touch, Micheal is there to take care of the threat…
Another smash hit in the Crestwood series. Well written and with a plot full of twists and turns. The love story is not my favourite since I’m not a fan of stalker-romance but it is well executed and believable. I love a good dark romance and the author pulls it off but it is almost too much in places. Judge for yourself, I know for some that is the finest recommendation a dark romance can get 😉 The whole series is well worth the read!.

This was an unconventional read but I loved it! Where do I even start??? Addison is a super sweet college student dating alpha-hole hockey player, Eren. Michael is also an alpha-hole hockey player, and he has his sites set on making Addison his. He’s been stalking her for years and jumps at the opportunity presented to him to de-flower her. Who had this brilliant idea? Eren! He didn’t want to sleep with a virgin. Definitely a strange little triangle, but it worked. This was a dark and spicy read.

Addison is a virgin, and this is a problem for her boyfriend, Eren. So Eren decides to ask his best friend, Michael, to take care of this problem.
What Eren doesn't know is that Michael has been watching Addison for almost her entire life, and if Michael does this for Eren, he will claim her and Eren will have to get out of the picture.
Watch your trigger warnings for this intense story where kindred spirits eventually recognise and claim each other.

This is a dark romance with an obsessed stalker twist and I loved every delicious page. Michael has an obsession with Addison but she's his friend's girl. One problem, she's a good girl/virgin and Eren doesn't do firsts so he asks his friend Michael to help and Michael is more than willing. This is a dark, steamy, twisted romance with well developed characters and a storyline that held my attention from the first page until the last. Ice & Possession is a fabulous addition to The Crestwood Elite Hockey Academy series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
This is another dark novel and is in some ways the darkest one yet. Michael needs Addison. He wants her but, it goes deeper than that! The rest of the world sees one face but, he has another hidden one. This story is about realisation and taking what you want. This is deep, dark, molten and full of heat. I got absorbed in the story and couldn’t stop reading until I got to the end of the book. A great 5 star read.
Michael is definitely the most unhinged of the guys so far and who'd have thought it! He's craved Addison for years stalking her, but she's dating his friend Erin but whe Erin asks him to take Addisons vcard and for him to watch and things go back to how they were after, Michael's playing for keeps this time. Well written steamy engaging, posseaive, and more!.
