Icebound Reunion by Marion De Re: Book Review

The Book

I’m not usually a fan of the Christmas break.

But when it means escaping my friends and their girlfriends for a few days straight, I’m the first bloke on the plane back to England.

So here I am, back in the small town I grew up in, ready to spend Christmas with my overbearing mum and way too cheery brother.

What I didn’t expect? Grace Turner, aka my first and only love, walking through the door of my mum’s house for Christmas dinner. She’s still the same beautiful woman, with that smile that lights up the room and a presence that makes my heart beat faster than during a hockey game.

Grace’s been through a lot, and she’s back in town to piece herself together. I’m only here for a few days, but I spend every moment I can with her. I help her sort through her dad’s house, listen when she needs me to, offer an embarrassing spectacle when I play football (don’t ask), and I even take her to the Christmas market—yes you heard that right. The days blur into one perfect routine, and it’s like the fifteen years we spent apart never happened.

For me, it’s crystal clear: now that we’ve found each other again, I’m not leaving without her. But does she feel the same?

She came back to heal, to reinvent herself. Asking her to uproot her life and move halfway across the world might just be the worst idea ever… right?

Book Review

A second chance romance at Christmastime? Yes, please! Second chance is a favorite of mine anyway, and it really does pair so perfectly with Christmas, what with people returning home for the holidays and all. Throw in hockey too? Even better. Right from the start, I couldn't help but enjoy the sweet chemistry between Grace and Noah. Their story may have been shorter, but it certainly wasn't short on Christmas cheer or smiles. While I'm always a little sad to see a series I enjoy coming to an end, this was a great way to closed out this series... and gave us the perfect set up for the next series too. I absolutely cannot wait! If you enjoy hockey romance, this is definitely one to add to your holiday TBR. 

Icebound Reunion is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language. It is part of the New York Raptors series, and while I think those who have read the rest of the series will appreciate it most, it could be enjoyed as a standalone as well.
