Ice Contact

Milwaukee Steel Riders, Book 1

By: Ellie K. Drake

Narrated by: Ellie Gossage, Bradley Ford

Olivia Brooks, the talented national anthem singer for the Milwaukee Steel Riders hockey team, feels like she's nothing more than background music in her own life. Stuck in a miserable relationship, she craves something more. One night, after being abandoned at a bar by her neglectful boyfriend, Olivia shares an unforgettable moment with a striking stranger, convinced she'll never see him again.

Hayes Larson, the newest star center for the Milwaukee Steel Riders, never imagined how much his life would change when he first saw Olivia Brooks. Fresh from a painful breakup, Hayes doubted he'd ever find true love again. But the instant he locked eyes with Olivia, he felt an overwhelming connection he couldn't ignore.

Three weeks later, their worlds collide in a way neither of them saw coming. As Olivia sings the national anthem at the home opener, her heart stops when she spots the stranger from that fateful night staring back at her from the ice.

With everything on the line—her career, her relationship, and her chance at love—will they risk it all for a shot at happiness?

Contains mature themes.

Great hockey romance!

Hockey romance

Dual narration - Ellie Gossage & Bradley Ford

This book is absolutely freaking amazing.

It gives me all the feels and everything I want in a hockey romance book. Witty banter, humor, spicy, romantic, insta love, he falls first and hard!

Olivia is a singer/advertising copy editor. She’s has a boyfriend but he’s not living up to her expectations of a relationship.

Hayes is the new in town hockey player. He walks into a bar to unwind after moving and unpacking all day. When he hear Olivia singing and lays eyes on her it’s instant attraction.

I love how Hayes supports Olivia in truly being who she is. And they both give each other what they need to become their best selves.

The story just gets better from there. The banter with the two main characters is fabulous. The side characters are great supporting characters.
Ellie Drake has written a damn good hockey romance! I cannot wait for book 2!

LOVE THIS!
