From USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author L A Cotton comes a brother's-best-friend sports romance. Lakeshore U, where hockey is religion and the players are gods. Are you ready to fall in love with a Laker?

When Aurora Hart moves in with her brother and his two teammates, it’s only supposed to be a temporary fix.

Enter Noah Holden. Cocky. Heartbreaker. With enough game to have every girl on campus falling at his feet.

When Noah’s best friend asks him to look out for his sister, he doesn’t expect to find her so resistant to his charm. Or find himself so interested in his new housemate.

He’s Lakeshore U’s biggest player. She’s quirky, shy, and 100 percent not his type.

Can Noah help Rory let go of the insecurities holding her back from embracing life? Or will he be unable to break the ice around her heart?

Break the Ice is a 100,000-word stand-alone novel set in the Lakeshore U series. It deals with sensitive issues that may be triggering for some listeners. Recommended for listeners 18+.

I heart hockey rom, y’all. throw in some angsty new adult forbidden feels and I’m a goner!

Noah and Aurora are no strangers. in fact, he’s her brother’s teammate, right winger for Lakeshore U, and completely off-limits. this wouldn’t seem like a problem since they’re polar opposite—him with his chiseled abs and playboy ways, her with her generous curves and bookish quirks. but when Aurora is forced to dorm with her brother…and Noah (!!)…tension and attraction tumble into feelings and connection that neither can deny. this one is filled with all the new adult sports rom vibes we love! but also has depth and heart with Aurora’s deep rooted struggles with body image.

it was an absolute delight to read this story with my ears! Teddy Hamilton was a d r e a m and the duet style narration was perfection! 10/10 for all the audio goodness.

Noah + Aurora, y’all! 🤍

I was not a fan of the last 20% of the book. The groveling should have been the other way around. And I got so sick of all the nicknames. But I could really relate to Aurora. Gut wrenching to hear her inner thoughts.

Another hockey romance is in the books! This is my first time ever reading something by this author and I had no clue what to expect but I’m already dying to read more. Noah and Aurora won a little piece of my heart. I absolutely loved the banter between these two from beginning to end. The connection and chemistry that they have was so wonderful to watch blossom. Noah is your typically playboy hockey player who’s oh so dreamy! I mean what else can we ask for?! And sweet Aurora. I found Aurora so easy to identify with. She’s unbelievably kind, funny, and has a huge loving heart. I loved watching her confidence finally break free. This book was so easy to get into and I really want to read more books in this series, like right now. This group of friends is so much fun to get to know. I had the pleasure of being able to listen to this audiobook and I LOVE being able to listen to a book on audio. For me, it makes the reading experience, somehow even better. But obviously depends on who is narrating the book. Stella Hunter and Teddy Hamilton did such a wonderful job bringing these characters to life. I’ve listened to Stella Hunter narrate another book before and I just love her voice.Teddy Hamilton will forever be a favorite of mine, his voice is unlike anyone else, and is so comforting to hear.

You’ve got to read this!

Break the Ice will broke my heart.

Full of hurt, hope and heart, Noa and Rory stole my heart from the very first word. impeccably capture by narrators Stella Hunter and Teddy Hamilton, Rory's sass and strength combined with her scars make her so relatable and real, and Noa, though a little guarded is sweet and kind and exactly the right person to draw her out of her shell.
Special VIP mention goes out to Connor, for just being the bestest fake big brother and picking up the slack when Austin dropped the ball and needed a swift kick in the behind.

Duet Narration >>>>

I enjoyed listening to this story so much! Noah had the transformation I am a sucker for. He went from the hot, playboy hockey player to the swoony hero you can’t help but love. Rory has just as amazing character development with some pretty tough things she had to deal with. These sensitive topics were handled very well and in the right way for both of these characters.

Noah and Rory’s banter had me chuckling to myself while listening. Their chemistry was addicting and I loved watching them grow together and fall in love.

I have fallen in love with this whole cast of characters and I can’t wait for the next book!

The duet narration was absolutely fantastic in this story and they brought the characters to life in the perfect way!

Grateful to have received a complimentary copy to honestly review.

Duet Narration is everything!

Yes! Yes! Yes!! Teddy Hamilton and Stella Hunter did these characters Justice. Their outstanding performance as Noah and Rory was phenomenal. This brother’s best friend, close-proximity, college sports romance was epic! The banter, the chemistry, the characters on top of la cotton’s story-telling… all of it was perfection! I am in awe of the author’s ability to make me fall hard for her characters as well as these amazing narrators bring them to life. This was such a great audiobook to get lost in!

I love this new series!

I really enjoyed this and the fact that Teddy Hamilton was one of the narrators just made it that much better. The characters, especially the FMC Aurora, were so loveable. Noah's character development was great and his persistence with Aurora was swoon-worthy. I'm really excited for the next book in this series to come out!

loved it!
