3.5 stars.Really liked this one. The first New York Blades book was my fav, then Chasing Stanley, but I think that because Adam was SO similar to Ty, in my opinion, that it's kind of a tie for me on being the best book of the series. Adam and Sinead were such a great pairing and boy, was Adam appeal...
The hockey bits (excluding the cardboard pep talks) were really good, but there wasn't enough hockey to make up for the rest of the story.I don't mind neurotic heroines, but Sinead crossed the line into ridiculous territory.

I don't know why I'm addicted to the hockey romances, but I am. I liked this book overall, but there were a few areas that bugged me.

I helped my dad run a pool for a group of fri...
Review to follow. :-)
My thoughts:I shall begin with a little speech. I have only read book 1 so far, and I had no trouble at all jumping to book 9. It's a series about the players finding love, their relatives finding love and so on.Sinead was uptight, and a workaholic. Adam was quiet and did not talk any more than he h...
Deirdre Martin has done it again! I think my love of hockey romance is well documented, and I love the New York Blades!Icebreaker is the story between Sinead O'Brien, a workaholic attorney, and Adam Perry, the new captain of the NY Blades. Adam is being sued for assault after he knocked out another...
