Ice Bet

Bexley U, Book 2

De: S.J. Sylvis

Narrado por: Bryant Walker, Stephanie Rose

She's the coach's daughter and his rival's newest target.

Aasher Matthews is everything I detest. Arrogant jock: check. Coy smirk: check. Too hot for his own good: check. To make matters worse, he plays hockey. Unfortunately for him, my father is his coach. Fortunately for me, I'm deemed untouchable.

The only common ground I have with hockey players is our love of the ice, so staying away from them will be easy-peasy. Until I overhear their bet—who can get Coach's daughter in their bed first?

I'm ready to bring the entire Bexley U hockey team to their knees. Instead of fleeing, I flirt. Instead of hiding, I run just so they'll chase me. Luring my father's players into a trap has a certain appeal to it.

Except, Aasher isn't fooled by my feigned temptation. He has too much riding on a perfect season and has plans to join the NHL after winning the Frozen Four.

So he proposes our own bet. If he wins, I stay away from his teammates and stop messing with their heads. If I win, he tells my father—his beloved coach—about his teammates' dirty plans for me.

The more Aasher crosses the lines we've carved into the ice, the more I find myself letting him. The only problem is someone else is in on our gamble, and they aren't willing to concede.

Ice Bet is a spicy coach's daughter college sports romance. It is a complete stand-alone. The other books in the series do not need to be listened to in order, but you will see glimpses of future characters in each book.

Great storytelling.

Love the HEA ending. Would recommend this series. Can’t wait to see what else comes from this author.

Love love love ❤️

This was one of the best books. I have listened to thus far. Daddy’s and their daughters you can’t tell me that daddy didn’t know what was gonna happen when he asked one of his team members to watch out for his daughter. The story was so great, but I think the ending was the best, showing 10 years down the road. I would recommend this book and any of the other books in this series to everybody.

4 STARS

I enjoyed this one more than book one, but fair warning, the hero in this one does hook up with other women BEFORE he has a relationship with the heroine. I know this is a big issue for a lot of people, and while I didn't enjoy the scenes with them, I did still really enjoy the book. I much prefer if he is with other people before the heroine, it is off page. I don't need the hero or heroine to be celibate but I also don't want to read about it. That is the loss of star for me.

Otherwise, I really enjoyed the audiobook of this one. I loved the hero and heroine together. The way the connected over skating, and how they ended even spending their time together was fun! I really did love it besides what is stated up above.

I will definitely continue reading the series.

One of the best hockey romance books

I don’t even know what to say except this book was amazing! Easily in my top 3 hockey romance books I’ve read so far and I’ve read a lot of them!
I’m a sucker for a good forbidden romance trope and an enemies to lovers trope and this book did both perfectly!
I really appreciated the no third act break up as these stories tend to have those and I despise it!
I also really liked that they touched on some deeper topics as well that gave the story and the characters more depth.
This is definitely a light fun read nothing too intense so if you need something with more conflict to satisfy you this may not be the book but I think it was a perfect mix of everything you want in a good book. Lovable characters, good spice, some tension, a bad guy you can hate who gets what’s coming to him, and a HEA!

Ice Bet

I loved this wish I would have read book one first!!
New author!! Love her!!

Funny, sweet, hot and serious

I was very surprised by this story. It was emotional and hilarious. These guys were so playful and sweet. I can’t wait to dive into the rest of the books in this series. Swoon!

Very close to being good

I enjoyed the story, but all the descriptive sex scenes with the MMC & OW made it less enjoyable. I could really do without that

Decent Story

Enjoyed this story by SJ Sylvis. It had been a bit since reading weak side, so I wasn’t able to place Theo and Claire (the previous couple) very well. Overall, this didn’t detract from the story too much. The male narrator was hit and miss for me. The female narrator was perfect. One thing that did miss for me were some of the antagonistic scenes between the MMC and the FMC in the beginning. I realize he was trying to keep his distance and maintain a boundary; however, some of the phrases and comments about the FMCs clothing choices really rubbed me the wrong way. It grated on me more than I thought it would.

Overall, I liked the story and will be reading the next book.

There connection

Oh my gosh i absolutely loved this book everything about it had me from the beginning

Perfect forbidden hockey love story!

Loved the storyline and they definitely were perfect for each other. Also liked that it was the same timeline as book 1 and remember the hints of this couple but was a totally different storyline at the beginning was kind of refreshing.
