Frozen Desire

Westgate University #1

by S.A. Bailey, Sarah A. Bailey

Ellie Harris learned the hard way just how quickly life can change. In the blink of an eye she lost her boyfriend, her place to live, and the only family she had. She couldn't risk losing her university financial aid too.
After her best friend and fellow competitive skater, Natalia Ford, hatches a plan to save her future, Ellie ends up on the doorstep of her mother's ex-husband and Westgate University men's hockey coach, Hudson Grant.
While living with the step father she never really knew, tension grows between Ellie and Hudson, thickening when Natalia finds herself at the center of it, and hidden secrets are revealed.
The three of them may be considered experts on the ice, but when their frozen desire begins to melt, will it cause them all to break?

Перед прочитанням раджу зарядити всі потрібні пристрої 😅

Знайомство з авторкою для мене точно пройшло успішно ❤️‍🔥

Легко читається, динамічно, приємно написано, але не для мене 😅
Напевно добре, шо вона коротенька 🤭

Не очікувала, що мені так сильно сподобається ця новелка з ЖЖЧ, дійсно дуже хтива та гаряча 🔥але найбільше сподобалося як пише авторка, коротко і дуже змістовно, зрозумілі почуття та емоції головних героїв 🥰 Хоча трішки була в шоці коли їхнє тріо поповнилося, ще та груповуха 😂 но було прикольно.

This was the best and the hottest novella I've ever read!

[LollyDolly · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very spicy novella 🥵🥵 When Ellie catches her mother in bed with her boyfriend, she thinks, nope, I’m not having this 😡 I’m going one better, I’m banging my stepdad and best friend. Fair enough. There are also ice‑related themes to this book, but it’s mainly filth. It was ok.

5/5✨️ 5/5🌶

I hope that Sarah makes this into a series; I would love to read more from this world. This was sweet and absolutely filthy. Loved these 3. 🫠🫦🫶😮‍💨🥵

Omgggggg what a spicy little treat this was! One of my new favorite novellas 😍❤️‍🔥.

⛸️ FFM romance
🏒 Age Gap
⛸️ College romance
🏒 Former step-dad
⛸️ bi awakening
🏒 friends to lovers

SAB could truly write a phone book and slap me in the face with it and I’d give the experience 5 stars. That wasn’t the case here because Frozen Desire is an incredibly detailed, emotional, and fully formed love story packed in under 150 pages and the steamiest spice to boot! And you should read it.

Also I had more highlights than there are pages so … 😅😮‍💨

icebreaker was somehow better than whatever tf this was

[Ashley · Rating 5 out of 5]

If a book could get me pregnant...this one would be it.

If you are looking for a spicy, slvtty good time PICK UP THIS BOOK. I was panting through this entire read & learned real quick this was definitely NSFW

[Catherine M. · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was one hot novella!! With scorching hot chemistry between all three, I can’t help but eat up this forbidden story.

5⭐ | 🌶🌶🌶🌶

If you’re looking for a quick, steamy read that completely pulls you in, Frozen Desire delivers.

Sarah A. Bailey knows exactly how to write tension—and this one is packed with it. The dynamic between Ellie, Hudson, and Natalia is intense, complicated, and honestly addictive to watch unfold. There’s that perfect mix of forbidden energy, emotional undercurrents, and heat that keeps you flipping pages.

For a novella, this story doesn’t hold back. It’s fast-paced, bold, and unapologetically spicy while still giving you just enough character depth to stay invested.

The hockey + figure skating world adds such a fun edge, but it’s really the relationships and tension that steal the show.

If you love:
• Forbidden/taboo romance
• FFM dynamics
• Age gap tension
• Hockey x figure skating vibes
• Bi-awakening

This is one you’ll devour in one sitting… and immediately wish there was more.

Unexpected

Well that was a detour I didn't expect to take... I abandoned my current reads and tbr with this surprise release-- I hardly ever see FFM and I've loved Sarah's Pacific Shores series so I devoured this in a day. It was fast and hot and a lot of spice. But surprisingly also tender and interesting in how they navigated the relationship dynamics in the last 50%. I'm definitely not disappointed and think it's a great novella to dip your toe into taboo and why choose!

[Sheridan Mullen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Holy. Spice. 😳🤯🥵 This is my first FFM book and wow. The dynamic between the three of them is fascinating and intriguing. I feel like Sarah did a great job at portraying a throuple dynamic. The story line is great, I was expecting more on that front in terms of more depth but this is a short book and I still loved the story and the characters! But seriously, it’s spicy!

[Chelsea Mansell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Devoured this in one sitting and it is a spicy good time.

As soon as I saw the tropes and blurb for this one, I was like sign me right up!

This story is forbidden, delicious and Sarah writes some of the absolute best spice so buckle up!

What to expect:
Forbidden
FFM
Hockey/ figure skating
Group scenes
Hockey player x coach x skater
Bi- awakening

No actually the hottest novella Ive read in a minute. I read this originally on Patreon and then had the pleasure of beta reading the extended edited version and this remains one of the hottest novellas I have read.

[C'airra Carney · Rating 4 out of 5]

Y’all….👀 you know what? Don’t even look at me, I think I might be ovulating 🤪

Anyway read it, if you’re looking for a good time 🤷🏾‍♀️

[Misty • booksplusplants · Rating 5 out of 5]

Is Sarah a witch? Because how else do you manage to write hot as hell spice AND an incredible emotional connection in 150 pages?!? Witchcraft.

[da͟r͟i͟a͟ · Rating 1 out of 5]
