Description

When ice and sunshine collide, someone is bound to end up burned...

When Dayna Benson moves home, she doesn't expect to feel so torn. On the one hand, she's glad to be back in Dupont Beach. But it means parting ways with her boyfriend and facing ghosts she thought she'd left behind.

Enter Aiden Dumfries.

Arrogant. Angry. With enough attitude to freeze over Lake Erie, he's determined not to let anyone help him.

When he finds himself exiled to the small coastal town after a scandal that could ruin his hockey career before it gets started, his plans for summer break are dashed.

He's Lakeshore U's bad boy on the ice. She's sunshine, smiles, and something that feels a lot like hope.

But can Dayna melt Aiden's heart?

Or will she end up burned?

*Ice Burn is a standalone prequel novel set in the Lakeshore U series

    4.25 ⭐️ When LA Cotton announced she was coming out with a hockey series I was so so excited! I’ve been waiting for her to write hockey and she did not disappoint! Not shocking though because everything she writes is amazing 😍 This book is about Aiden and Dayna. You get a little glimpse of Aiden in bite the ice which is the prequel to the series about another player named Connor. (Yes go read that too😉) Aiden is pretty much angry at the world, so when he meets Dayna you can’t wait to see if she’ll bring out his soft happy side. Things are rocky between them in the beginning which was great because I love seeing that development between two characters who clearly don’t want anything to do with each other. I always relate to many of LA’s fmc’s and Dayna is another on that list. It was great to see her finally live in the moment <3 The connection these two ended up having melted my heart🥲 LA never fails at writing a brooding bad boy who ends up falling in love 🥰 If you love hockey romances, forced proximity and the grumpy sunshine trope, then you definitely need to read this 🫶🏻 I cannot wait for the rest of this series! Counting down the days till March when we get Noah’s book🤗

    I love hockey series and I love LA Cotton so putting them together is amazing! We got a little taste in the prequel novella and then we got this first book which was perfect. Dayna has not been herself for the past few years. Losing someone close to you can do that. She fled home and all the good memories to start over, but going home became necessary after graduating college because she missed her family too much. Aiden might be the hotshot on and off the rink but he needs to get out of his head and away from the whispers around him. Going to stay with his coach for the summer wasn’t in those plans. When these two meet, both are holding back a lot of hostility about being in Dupont Beach for very different reasons, but when they both lower the walls a little they find that other one is the missing piece that they didn’t realize they were looking for. I love the bad boy hockey star and Aiden is no different. He is hardcore protective and holds himself in that typical hotshot playboy way. He didn’t see Dayna coming but she knocked him on his butt, and he was not ready. Aiden open Dayna back up to the person she had been before. She allowed the memories to be spoken again and he was there to listen when she needed that. These two have such a great chemistry and I am truly excited for the rest of the series.
  • Loved it!

    Absolutely LOVED this book! Aiden and Dayna have enough chemistry to light the pages on fire!! When they met and that kiss…LOVED IT! The angst that followed kept me wanting more. I was rooting for Aiden, the man needed some good in his life. My heart broke for Dayna, her strength carried her through and meeting Aiden may have just been the best thing for her. I look forward to seeing them in future Lakeshore books.

    When the bad boy of Lakeside U hockey team needs an escape to get himself in line the last thing he expects is to be brought to his knees. Aiden’s life wasn’t an easy one living in the shadows of his awful father he finds it hard to trust others and be compared to him. The demons that haunt Aiden leaves him angry and when he meets Dayna, he finds himself intrigued by her when she sees there’s more to him than what others say. Dayna finally comes home after spending years away hiding from the pain her past left her with, so when she finds herself going through a breakup, trying to confront her pain the last thing she wants is the cocky playboy to come in her life, but their chemistry is off the charts. This story was a fun one that was full of emotions, steam, and so much more. The characters find a way in your heart and have a way of making you love each of them with the family and friendly bonds they create. I can’t wait for more from these guys.
