4.5 SMOOCHES!

SYNOPSIS:
She’s the distraction the team can’t afford.
He’s the solution no one saw coming.
Winnie Garrett is done with men. After a toxic relationship left her second-guessing everything, she’s focused on one her dream job as the New York Knights’ new yoga instructor.
Banks Callahan doesn’t do relationships. Or feelings. Or anything that requires letting people get close. Growing up in the foster system taught him not to need anyone—and definitely not to want something he could lose.
So when the team’s new yoga instructor becomes an unexpected locker-room distraction threatening their playoff focus, Banks comes up with a solution so ridiculous it just might work.
Fake dating.
If the guys think Winnie is his, they’ll back off. It’s simple locker room you don’t touch what’s claimed—like calling dibs on the last slice of pizza.
The problem?
Nothing about Winnie is simple.
She’s warmth and laughter and everything Banks has spent years convincing himself he doesn’t need. She makes him want things he can’t have. Makes him feel things he doesn’t understand.
He was never supposed to fall for her.
But somewhere between fake hand-holding, pretend nicknames, and very real late-night moments, the line between “just for show” and “dangerously real” starts to blur.

REVIEW:
Ice Cold Chemistry is the second book in Kendall Ryan’s Off the Ice series of hockey romances. This story features newly and definitively single, Winnie, the new yoga instructor for the New York Knights, and Banks, the closed off and relationship averse hockey player, who are both laser focused on their careers. Winnie was constantly being hit on by the other players in her yoga class, and that’s how she and Banks come up with the fake dating idea.
These two were definitely opposites. Banks was broody, moody and possessive, and Winnie was the sunshine to his grump. I could feel the mutual yearning this couple had for each other. Full of playful banter and undeniable chemistry, this story was also rich in character development in the way that Banks came to life because of Winnie. A sweet, swoony, heartstring-puller, I devoured it in an afternoon! Ice Cold Chemistry by Kendall Ryan gets 4.5 smooches from me!
