Ratings and reviews

This is a great box set and fun read. FLIRTING ON ICE (ATLANTIC CITY HUSTLERS #1) Flirting on Ice by Veronica Forand and Susan S. Shelley is an incredible start to the Atlantic City Hustlers Series. Professional hockey player Zac Elliott career is at a high as he is entering a contract negotiation. The last thing he should do is jeopardize it pursuing a relationship with the team owner's daughter, Heather Ryan. This 100-page novella is an exciting and fast paced read that I finished in one sitting. I really enjoyed Flirting on Ice. I like how the story starts out with the characters bumping into each other outside the work environment. Both Zac and Heather are likable characters. They undergo some interesting obstacles in this story. The plot is very realistic and convincing. The story had a nice Christmas ending. SIMMERING ICE (ATLANTIC CITY HUSTLERS #2) Hockey player Alec O'Meara has not been interested in dating years after the death of his wife. That is until physical therapist, Annie Davidson, catches his eye. I like Annie. She is smart and athletic. She is self-sacrificing, living in less than optimal conditions to help out her older landlord. She is a bit insecure, but who isn’t at some point or another. Considering the lack of support she gets from her mother, she turned out to be a wonderful person. My heart went out to Alec for losing his wife. He is a good guy and leader. He is a likeable character. He has great friends. I like how his team mates get involved in helping match-make, especially Mikael. I swear they are worse than a bunch of girls. Simmering Ice is well-written and has a delightful plot. There were some unexpected twists, and the entire book was interesting. I could not put this book down. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

This duet combines risk with heart and scores a winning goal. Flirting on Ice - Zac is a rule breaker on the ice, but when he takes those skills off the ice his heart and career may not withstand the blow. Heather proves to be his greatest temptation and his biggest risk? Will the odds end in his favor? (5 stars) Simmering Ice - She wants to sit this one out. He's playing for keeps. Will this attraction score a goal or go bust? (5 stars) Iced proved to be a win, win for me.
