Ice Me Baby

Washington Wraiths #1

by Ivy Cole, Barbie Jean Warmack (Narrator)

Dreams of the Olympics shattered at a young age, Elizabeth turns her attention to the sport her father loves. Hockey. It’s the only thing that keeps her from falling into despair over the realization that she will never be a professional figure skater. Falling in love with the sport, arguably more obsessed than her father, she decides to put her focus on her studies.

Becoming an Athletic Trainer is her new dream, and her mom always taught her to dream big. So her sites are on the NHL. Wanting to join the very sport that saved her life. The sport that allowed her to keep her love for the ice.

Graduating top of her class, she is offered several job offers, but the only one she has eyes for is the NHL. Finding herself back in the town she left several years ago, she’s now in charge of ten men for the Washington Wraiths.

Her job gets harder when two of the men she is in charge of seem to have attached themselves to her. Will she be able to continue to be professional?

Or will she break under the attention of a supportive cinnamon roll and a grumpster that only seems to smile for her? Will these two men allow her to fly across the ice again?

Another great book by Ivy this is a little different to her previous books but still fantastic. I love a grumpy MMC and Dean was the best. I also enjoy a good hockey romance and Ice Me Baby did not disappoint. I would say this is more a slow burn than I was expecting and I go fereal for them so I really enjoyed the tension that was building.

This book had the right amount of plot to spice ratio. I gave this book 5 ⭐️ and 2 🌶️ that slow burn did kill me because the tension was a lot luckily they had some kisses before but when they go to the cabin it was perfect. Please make sure you check triggers as there is some on page abuse.

If you have not read a book by Ivy Cole I highly recommend it. I have loved all the stories she has written so far and she has many more to come.

Happy reading everyone 📚

Amazing story!

I absolutely love the characters in this story. This love story is what we all would love to have. Your heart goes out to Liz for all the ups & downs and bad & good she goes through. She is a strong character who doesn’t give up no matter what knocks her down. She also fights for what she believes in and loves! The men in the book, all her team players, are so good and I enjoy their personalities especially Vicy & Taz…oh baby brothers to a T. Great story can’t wait for next book.

Now when I heard about this book I was so excited to read and it did exactly what I wanted. All the feels and boy did I get that from reading this one. Lizzy goes through so much so my heart really goes out to her and her story. But luck might just change as two members of the team she works for are looking at her in a way she didn't think possible. Loved the team taking her in as a sister and acting like big brothers. Well most of them. Two want a bit more and chase. It is a slower burn but so worth the wait. Highly recommend for hockey romance lovers out there.

Absolutely amazing book. I love the way the team took to Lizzy immediately and some took positions as her “brothers” and protectors while the other 2 couldn’t help but make her theirs. This was a slow burn but so worth the wait. Great story line and amazing characters.

I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and development of this story. Despite significant trauma, the Ice Princess prevails and ends up with the best Ice Princes one could ask for. I was expecting some jealousy and fall backs to the relationship and I am so thankful none of that happened. Thank You @ivycoleauthor for allowing me to read this book. Highly recommending for anyone. Hockey fan or not.

Very sweet and nice book. It gives hints of something darker with stalker tropes though.

The story has a good pacez the characters are well developed and have good backgrounds, the relationahip between them grows at a natural pace and it got me hooked from the very beginning.

Entertaining read

This book is entertaining. Makes you feel all of the emotions as you make your way through. There is a thriller feel, a romantic feel, and a sibling bond forming before your eyes.

[Jennifer Woodard · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this read, it has a nice spice to it two guys one girl. I don’t understand all the nicknames and felt it would have been easier to follow if the characters didn’t flip between real names and nicknames. Can’t wait for the next one to see where the author takes us.

sooo good

This book was so sweet and captivating! From the very first chapter you were sucked in. Ivy is a new to me author and this was the first book that I’ve read by her and she did not disappoint. I want more I need Danni’s story like yesterday!!

I just devoured this!

My only critic is that I wished there was more backstory and reason in certain parts but otherwise I loved it.

I can't wait for the 2nd book!

This is a great book. I really enjoyed the tension and depth of the storyline. There’s action, adventure and uncertainty. A wonderful performance.

Make sure to read the triggers. Do you like hockey? If so this is a must read for you! This book has romance, smut, hockey, figure skating, drama, backstabbing, and so much more wrapped up with a bow. It has all the things! Ivy does such an amazing job at character building and world building. She touched on different abuse within different types of relationships. She touched on subjects of people losing trust and not believing they would ever trust again. So much compacted into one book that makes you want to stay on the emotional roller coaster.

If you're in the mood for a good hockey romance, *Ice Me Baby* absolutely hits the mark! I’ve been deep-diving into hockey romance novels lately, and this one stands out as a strong contender in the genre.

This book checks all the boxes for a fun, feel-good escape into the hockey romance world. With a touch of reverse harem dynamics, you get a fresh spin on the genre, making *Ice Me Baby* both captivating and unique. The pacing is solid, and while the spice factor keeps things lively, it’s the chemistry and character interactions that really bring the story home. Definitely a recommended read for anyone who enjoys their romance with a bit of grit and a whole lot of heart.

What do you do when your biggest dreams are stolen from you? You discover new dreams. This is a great book about overcoming past thinking, being open to a different kind of relationship and of course dealing with a stalker.

Just when things get comfortable in the book there’s a new twist. I figured out rather quickly who the stalker was but not the why. I adore that not only the two MMC but the whole team had the FMC safety at heart. Great book and I hope there’s another one come for the Washington Wraiths.

Loved the narration Barbie Jean Warmack, who brings the drama and emotions to your ears.

This book has such emotions and drama going on. We have loss, romance, abuse, drama, backstabbing of those you should trust. All with the back ground of hockey and figure skating. Make sure to read the triggers.
