Home Ice by Aven Ellis

Home Ice (Dallas Demons, #1)

by Aven Ellis

This book was previously published as Waiting for Prince Harry

Kylie Reed vowed she’d never pick up a man in a bar.

It’s one of her personal rules, after all.

So falling into a gorgeous ginger’s lap, tossing a glass of wine on him, and then hoping he asks for her number while in a bar would be a trifecta of wrong, right?

Organized, rule-loving, and cautious to a fault, Kylie Reed is waiting for the perfect moment to live her dreams—when she has a house, when she meets her husband, when she has been at her visual display job at a chic boutique a little while longer. All of her dreams are saved for later—as that seems to be a safer place than taking a risk to actually live them.

Yet Kylie finds all her rules bending when she falls into the lap of gorgeous Harrison Flynn, captain of the Dallas Demons hockey team. Harrison harbors his own fears for the future, ones he keeps close to the vest. He’s intrigued with the brown-eyed beauty who proceeds with caution, while she’s drawn to the sexy man who pushes boundaries and functions in chaos. The phrase opposites attract has never been truer as the chemistry between them is anything but polar from the second they meet…

While the attraction is hot, is that enough to make a relationship work? Can they face their fears for a future they both want? Will this relationship end before puck drop? Or will they find home ice together?

If you like swoony heroes, hilarious heroines, and a couple you can cheer for, you’ll want to escape into Home Ice. Can be read as a standalone and a happily ever after is guaranteed.

OMG OMG OMG. The day is finally here. I cannot tell you how excited I am. Happy Pub day Aven!! I urge you all to go an buy this book right this second. I really do not think this review will do the book justice but I'm going to attempt to.

Kylie is cute and funny. She is also sweet and kind. She is scared of confrontation and failure which sometimes leads to her missing out on opportunities. She thinks that Prince Harry is perfect because she knows she will never get him. He's almost 5,000 miles away and well he's a prince. She's not exactly going to just bump into him.

Harrison. Oh Harrison. I think hockey might become my new favourite sport. He is sweet, kind caring. He really cares about his fans and making sure that when they get that once in a lifetime opportunity to meet him that its everything they ever hoped for. He is always helping other people. Harrison is also  a lot cleverer than he thinks he is.

I can't describe how much I love this book. It has changed my opinion on many things hockey, pool tables.....

I absolutely loved the quizzes at the beginning of each chapter. It brought a uniqueness to the book.

I couldn't put this book down. I read it in a matter of hours. I was smiling so much as I finished the last few pages I couldn't have been happier with the ending of this book. I really hope Aven will provide us with bonus scenes on her blog.
