ICE HEARTS

By Monty Jay

Release Date: September 24


 

Behind every heartless woman is a little girl who trusted the world with her love to have it chew her up and spit her out.

No one knows that better than Aurelia Riggs.

Silver tongue matched with a golden appearance.

She is the notorious ice queen.

To protect her heart she has a set of rules.

No sleeping over.

No second dates.

No falling in love.

Someone should have really warned Nico of them, but honestly, would he have listened?

 

Nico ‘Southie’ Jett is the best forward in the league. Leading in points, shredding the ice, his control is unmatched.

After an earth-shattering loss, and one slip up hits the press, his spot on the Fury is in danger.

Nico needs someone to fix his image and quick, who else better than Chicago’s most exceptional PR agent?

The only problem is she avoids him like the plague.

Nico is determined to get underneath her skin in all the right ways.

He has Aurelia Riggs all to himself. She can’t run from him anymore.

The game is on, and he’s ready to melt Aurelia’s Ice Heart.

 

Ice Hearts is a standalone novel in the Fury Series and deals with sensitive subjects some may find triggering.

Ice Hearts is the second title in the Fury series, and follows on from Love and Hockey.  Aurelia and Nico both featured in Valour and Bishop’s story and I was eager to see how their story would come about.  I don’t think I was completely prepared for this heartfelt, emotional, raw, slow burn sports romance.

Nico is a professional hockey player and a gorgeous man both inside and out.  Whilst he’s a sweet, sexy, protective gentleman, he’s also an alpha to the core.  He’s confident and optimistic and completely driven and determined when he sets his mind to a goal.

Aurelia aka ‘Riggs’ has a reputation as an ice princess, but it’s all really a façade to keep everyone from getting too close.  She’s suffered from a traumatic and tragic childhood that has left her with emotional scars and she is constantly fighting the demons that reside in her mind.  She’s incredibly strong and resilient and more than once her plight bought tears to my eyes.

The banter between this pair is sassy, snarky, witty and flirtatious. But for me it was the deep and meaningful conversations that drew me into their story and made me feel connected to this pair.

Ice Hearts features characters that are not only well developed, but complex and whilst they may appear to be opposites, they balance out each other perfectly.  There is great vulnerability in this title and it touches on many mental health issues that many people can relate to, but it is also quite confronting, but broached in a compassionate and enlightening way.

Monty Jay has written another captivating title and I look forward to reading future additions to the Fury series.
