Icebreaker

I wanted to love this book but it took me several months to finish, putting me in a book slump. The first half is slow introducing all of the characters & their backgrounds, middle half starts to get interesting but repetitive & the last half is the most hooking out of the entire read which is the only reason why I finished it. I feel like some chapters were dragged & others were rushed. This felt poorly written & all over the place. I’d have to turn back 1-2 pages every few chapters to understand what was going on & who was talking. Lastly, I would recommend this book to beginner readers that are looking to explore their interests, but there is a handful of spice in this so it’s definitely an 18+ book. Wasn’t my cup of tea but you may love it!

Fast shipping and correct description

This book has been on my TBR forever! It’s been recommended to me by so many people. It’s a cute and fun story. I enjoyed the characters and would actually give my rating a 4.5 but there’s no half stars lol.I do think there were a few times where the author could have flushed things out a bit (especially with some of the Aaron issues).Overall fun book with great spicy scenes!

Loved the story I didn’t want to put the book down. The story line had romance and made me smile.

I nearly DNF'd it!! I set it down for 4 days because it starts slow and not very well-written. Icebreaker is about 100 pages too long. It's desperate for an editor, so it took a while to get into, and even when I did get more interested in the book, it never gets GREAT (2.5-3 stars at most). But I finished it! It's such a popularly read book that I wanted to read it to get the Book Boyfriend cultural references. Literally pumped my fists in the air when I finally made it to chapter 50!PROS:-Nathan IS a pretty dreamy Hero. Like a sassy cinnamon roll. He'll do anything possible to make your life better and make you feel safe and spoiled, but will also tell you when you're being annoying. Plus he maintains excellent male friendships.-Some surprisingly emotionally intelligent dialogue occurs throughout this book, particularly towards the end. There's really good modeling for healthy communication between not only our MMCs, but their friend group too.-Henry-It's very spicy but sometimes it's a bit obnoxiously spicy. ( Saying that as someone who wants her spice open-door and in detail lol).CONS:- The FMC Anastasia (Stassie) is hard to like for awhile. She is SO petulant and unreasonable. This enemies-to-lovers trope is completely one-sided, and I find it tiresome that female authors write FMCs with this reactive personality type.-Wear some underwear Stassie!! It is not cute or sexy to be at a party or club in a microdress that is barely past your butt while you're not wearing underwear! It's a borderline sex crime cuz the risk of bystanders being flashed is too high. PLUS, that cannot taste good or fresh for when oral invariably happens.-For half the book, Stassies horny-juices are described as spreading down her thigh. That's not cute. Is she a baboon?? Put on underwear!-There is too many unnecessary scenes and detail. It's just far too long and it doesn't move the story forward.-Peonies do NOT come in light blue?! HG could have just looked up their color variation instead of making up a color that felt like "appropriate boy color" flowers. What a dumb and gender normed reason to be pulled out of a story.
