Ice Cold Rival

Beyond the Ice, Book 3

By: Nikki Hall

Narrated by: Samantha Cook, Bryant Walker

One night, one chance, one hundred percent a lie…

Reece

Hookups are my jam, but I've never had a girl shuddering with one breath then running away the next. And I can't stop thinking about her. Probably for the best, I'm trading in party games for extra practices. I can lead us back to the Frozen Four, but I need a sign of my dedication to persuade Coach. All I have to do is convince the one who got away to fake a relationship with me—and remember my oldest rule: only one night.

Kenzie

Nerd. Prude. Boring. Not anymore. After my ex proves hockey players really will stick their…uh, sticks…in anything, I swear off his type forever. But I don't last a single night before hooking up with his rival. Turns out I'm bad at fun, though with my ex being thrust upon me at every opportunity, I'm willing to try—and fail. Until Reece offers me a choice: fall back into my boring, safe life or play along with him. The answer seems simple, but I'm worried that playing will never be enough.

Ice Cold Rival is the third book in the Beyond the Ice series of interconnected standalones featuring the hockey players of Teagan University—a fake dating, reformed playboy, one-night stand, rival's ex, college hockey romance with plenty of heat.

I love you more than peanut butter

Wow! What a great book. The best one in this series! The banter, storyline, character growth, and sweetness of the relationship between Reese and Kenzie drew me into this book
book immediately and kept me listening well past bedtime.

The great narration was engaging, bringing the characters to life. I cannot wait for Mase's book.

Loved it!

Nikki Hall always delivers. Beyond the Ice and Wild Card cross over so well it’s heart warming to hear about your old book boyfriend when you read about the new ones.
