Heartbreak Hockey Book 2: Ice Dance Hockey by S. Legend

 

Heartbreak Hockey Book 2

DRAMA. HOCKEY. ROMANCE. BATTLES ON AND OFF THE ICE.

“I thought this was going to be the story about how I lost Jack, but it’s not. It’s the story about how I found my way to you.”

Rhett

I’ve made the biggest mistake of my life and I can only hope it’s not too late for me to redeem myself. All my future plans included building a life with Jack, but now he’s playing house with some second-rate hockey coach he thinks he’s in love with.

I want him back, and when my father’s misguided effort backfires, the perfect solution skates right into my life.

Logan

When no one cared about me, my half-brother, Mercy, took me in, loving me as if we’d been siblings all our lives instead of just a couple of short weeks. He’s sunshine. I want to stay close to him, but I know it’s only a matter of time before I become a stain on his perfect life.

Speaking of sunshine, it would be a lot better for me if a certain ray of sunshine, Jack Leslie, were out of the picture. When the hockey God himself, Rhett, makes me a proposition, I know I can’t refuse, even if it means I’m going to hell for it.

Ice Dance Hockey is a fake boyfriend book, with lots of catastrophes, some angst, and much hijinks. We get to peek in on the lives of Jack and Mercy as Rhett and Logan stumble their way into a love they never knew could exist. Oh, and of course, it contains the caretaking dynamic Mock (S. Legend and Canadian) is known best for. It’s a verified member of the Hot Pink Peaches Club.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

So I went into this story really not sure how I was going to feel about Rhett after the last book. And with how we met Logan, I made some assumptions there too. But! These two weren’t what I expected. And the story itself took so many twists and turns, it definitely kept me on my toes. The story starts off with this idea of Rhett and Logan fake dating so that Rhett can get his dad to leave Jack’s hockey career alone and in the long run hopefully get Jack to fall for him again. Logan has his own motives for agreeing. But what is one of the great twists of this book is that their fake dating isn’t so typical. And that’s just the beginning. These two have insane chemistry and are constantly challenging one another at every turn. It’s no wonder that their story shifts and these two realize that maybe they should be dating for real. And this is just the beginning of their story. So much happens as they work together to fight for one another and have the lives they both really want. They do a lot of growing together. Logan wasn’t sure what it would be like coming to live with his brother Mercy. But the longer he is there, it is clear just how much he wants to be part of their family. He wants that stability. And on top of finding his place there, he never expects to fall for Rhett. Rhett was hellbent on getting his ex back because he knows he messed up and let his father rule him for too long on what he should be doing in his relationship with Jack, but he is realizing that he has to take control of what and who he wants. I ended up really loving these two! And like I said earlier, so many twists and turns. It was so fun to read. Plenty of romance and humor and hijinks. I definitely can’t wait to see what happens in book 3. Based on what we have seen of that couple so far, oh man, it’s gonna be too good to put down.
