The hunky dad, the hockey coach, and a new start....

Bryson:

Elmwood isn't good for my love life. Hey, I'm a positive person and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about small town living, but I haven't had a date in years. That's fine. My son is and always has been my number one focus.

Except now he's grown and gone. And its lonely.

Okay, yes, the new hockey coach is hot and single, but he's off limits. Smitty's trouble with a capital T, and his baggage might outweigh mine. Besides, we said nothing would happen after that night. It was a one-time, never to be repeated deal.

At least that's what I thought.

Smitty:

Am I sad about retiring from pro hockey? Honestly, no. I cant remember the last time I wasn't in pain. My body needs a rest, but I can't go home. Everything has changed there, and I need a distraction. Stat.

So Elmwood.

Look, we all know I won't last a whole season of coaching high school kids, but stepping in till they find a better candidate is a good temporary plan. And Bryson's here.

There's something about the hot dad with the sunny smile and bad dad jokes that makes me feel alive again. I'm not in the market for forever. Been there, done that. I've risked my body, but I'm not giving my heart away again. I know thin ice when I see it.

Or do I?

Thin Ice is an MM bisexual, small town romance featuring a silver fox dad, the new hockey coach, and a fresh start on solid ground.

While I thought the last book in this series was a bit rushed and underdeveloped, I *loved* this one! So great to see a “mature” character with real wants, fears, and desires. We barely saw Bryson in the previous books, so it was a delight to discover this sweet and silly man who had put his own needs wayyyy on the back burner for years. Smitty was more of a typical leading man — brawny, bold, supremely gorgeous and confident — but he meshed well with Bryson. Always great to revisit Elmwood and see the other couples thriving. Spot-on narration (as ever!) by Nick. Loved it all.

Might be my favorite of the series!

While this wasn't my favorite of this series, this was a good story to read. I enjoyed how things developed for Smitty and Bryson. I especially liked listening to the audiobook and the great narration by Nick J Russo.

I loved this book when I read it with my eyes and I loved it all over again as an audiobook. The story is really sweet and very spicy. Nick J. Russo did another great job performing the story. I loved his French accent. Lane Hayes books always make me feel all kinds of emotions and this book was no exception. This whole series is fantastic!

I liked Smitty. He is one of my favorite characters in this series so far. He is the type of person who seems comfortable in their own skin. He doesn't always know what he wants, and he isn't afraid to try new things. Bryson needs someone to shake up his ordered world. These two might be able to offer each other some new life experiences.

The romance has a comfortable balance of sweet and steamy that Lane Hayes is talented at creating. The conflict is just tense enough to keep you reading, but not so tense that you can't sleep. My team losing the latest Stanley Cup Playoff game did that... Anyway, if you need a book with soothing narration by Nick J. Russo to keep you from throwing hockey pucks at the television, this will be an entertaining read/listen.

Good story. Good narration.

What happens when your son’s hockey rival retires and not only moves to your small town but moves in across the street?  Small town romance blends perfectly with hockey romance in Lane Hayes’ latest Elmwood Stories installment.  I absolutely loved this story, and it was even better read by Nick J. Russo.  There was so much heart and substance in the plot and the characters were everything you could want in a semi enemies to lovers story.  I laughed, cried and fell in love with Bryson and Smitty as an unlikely but ultimately perfect pair.  I have a feeling this will be one of my go to comfort reads from now on!  

Perfect blend of small town and hockey romance!

Really liked the pace of the story, low angst and a really fun love story. I just finished it too fast and wanted more. This usually happens when I listen to Nick Russo. I have so many where he narrates. Hockey player and single dad story and both these guys are described as yummie yummie...lol. Was worth my credit and the time. Is a favorite for me and will listen again if I need a break from those angsty stories I can't stay away from. Oh and there is some hockey stuff too! Books 1 and 2 were short and sweet in this series but I really liked this one.

wait what happened!!😅

This one is paritculalry entertaining!

Thin Ice is a small-town hockey romance. Two things I love in books! I thoroughly enjoyed myself, laughed on the hilarious dad jokes, and even shed a few tears.

Bryson and Smitty's story turns from a one-night-stand to friends to a fling and to more. I loved seeing them grow closer and slowly develop feelings, breaking down the other's thick walls.

The story is a tad hilarious, but I loved it for that. I mean, a dad gets together with his son's nemesis on the ice after a hockey game? It was funny and just a bit crazy, which made the whole book an entertaining read.
Smitty moves to Elmwood months later, and Bryson is forced to face his feelings and make friends with the new guy.
The small-town scene is everything the trope can offer with nosy neighbours, quaint little shops and beautiful places.

The characters are so complex and loveable! Smitty and Bryce both have their demons in their past they need to face and conquer to be able to feel the love that's brewing between them. But together they work and all the funny, spicy, sweet and emotional moments between them are wonderful.
I loved them interacting with their friends and family, showing their secrets and insecurities.
My favourite thing about Bryson is definitely the dad jokes and his unapologetic humour and laughter. It made him tangible and real.
Smitty quickly carved a place into my heart. His past could have made him bitter and distant, but he is this open and full of light person who cares deeply. Even if it took him a bit to see clearly.

Audiobook:
The narrator is fantastic!

Overall, this is an entertaining romance, and I love the setting. The huge plus is that the audiobook version is really 🔥.

Funny and emotional, just how I like it!
