#Review: Off the Ice by Julie Cross | @chapterxchapter @Juliecross1980 @EntangledTeen


Off the Ice 
(Juniper Falls #1) 
by Julie Cross
Publication Date: February 27, 2017
Publisher:  Entangled Teen


The NY Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of Whatever Life Throws at You kicks off a brand-new series perfect for fans of Miranda Kennealy and Abbi Glines.

All is fair in love and hockey…

Claire O’Connor is back in Juniper Falls, but that doesn’t mean she wants to be. One semester off, that’s what she promised herself. Just long enough to take care of her father and keep the family business—a hockey bar beside the ice rink—afloat. After that, she’s getting the hell out. Again.

Enter Tate Tanley. What happened between them the night before she left town resurfaces the second they lay eyes on each other. But the guy she remembers has been replaced by a total hottie. When Tate is unexpectedly called in to take over for the hockey team’s star goalie, suddenly he’s in the spotlight and on his way to becoming just another egotistical varsity hockey player. And Claire’s sworn off Juniper Falls hockey players for good.

It’s the absolute worst time to fall in love.

For Tate and Claire, hockey isn’t just a game. And they both might not survive a body check to the heart. 


DISCLAIMER: I received an e-ARC of this book as part of this blog tour. 



MY RATING: 5 OF 5 STARS.
Grab your coats and your snow-shoes! This is the best kind of cold! Curl up and enjoy a sweet romance to warm your heart! I love Tate and Claire. The beginning of the story introduces us to both characters. We learn just enough to fall in love with them and it makes you want to know more. I want to take a moment just to acknowledge a fantastic author. I read and LOVED Chasing Truth (The Eleanor Ames series, #1), and fell in love with Julie Cross' writing. I am sure that I have read another of her books prior, but the title slips my mind at the moment.
