Icebreaker Series Books In Order With Publisher’s Descriptions:

Today, I will summarize this series along with its order. I hope it will be enjoyable for you! Come on, let’s get started!

 Icebreaker Book#1:

This story revolves around a figure skater girl named Anastasia Allen, who’s training to become an Olympic athlete at the University of California. She is accompanied by her skating partner, Aaron Carlisle, and her friend, Lola, who live together. Anastasia often faces anxiety attacks, so she seeks relief from a therapist. She is firm in steering clear of any romantic involvements and carefully plans out each day of her life.

Their lives were going smoothly until something happened that she did not want. A guy who is the captain of his college hockey team entered her life; his name is Nathan Hawkins. When Nathan completes his graduation, he will join the national hockey team. He also lives with his teammates Henry and Jaiden and his best friend Robbie. 

The story of this couple begins after the destruction of the hockey rink when the athletic director forces the figure skaters to share their rink. It is one of those situations that becomes the reason for Nathan and Allen’s encounter. However, Anastasia Allen dislikes Nathan because she does not like hockey players.

Icebreaker Summary

She also harbors resentment towards Nathan because he lied to Allen. Nathan tries to befriend Anastasia, but she always avoids him. However, various reasons eventually lead to them bumping into each other. 

During this time, Lola and Robbie also grew closer and started dating. One night, Anastasia and Nathan meet again at a party, and their hostile relationship takes a new turn. They become very close to each other, and a sexual relationship develops between them. After that, Anastasia avoids Nathan for about a week, but it can not last long. One day, they run into each other again at university, and they keep having these intimate moments between them, and their hostility turns into friendship.

Looking at her makes me want to be the funniest guy in the room, so I can be the one to make her laugh.

Icebreaker

Meanwhile, Aaron, who was very possessive of Anastasia injures himself during a football match and unjustly blames Nathan for it. The coach threatens him, and Nathan ends up taking the blame for something he did not do. As a punishment, he is banned from the hockey team until Aaron gets better.

Aaron does all of this just to keep Anastasia away from Nathan, but Anastasia gets very confused, not knowing whom to trust. Two weeks pass without them meeting or talking to each other. However, during this time, Anastasia realizes that she has started to develop feelings for Nathan, and she even shares this with her therapist. Her therapist advises her to express her feelings to Nathan and to stay away from Aaron. 

A few days later, Anastasia and Aaron qualify for sectionals, but there Aaron drops Anastasia on the ice and injures himself again, sidelining both of them for eight weeks. After that, Nathan starts taking care of Anastasia, and they spend a lot of time together. During this period, Nathan opens up to Anastasia about his feelings, and Anastasia does the same.

Furthermore, Nathan becomes Anastasia’s skating partner, which makes Aaron jealous. Anastasia decides to stay with Nathan, and they become friends, getting to understand each other better. However, they both regret that they would not engage in any sexual relationship as long as they are skating partners. Living together helps Anastasia reduce her anxiety.

They start living together but quickly break their promise and become physically intimate again, soon appearing in front of everyone as boyfriend and girlfriend. Their friends are very happy for them, but Aaron is furious. During the hockey team’s Christmas party, Aaron shows up drunk and insults Anastasia, and that is why  Henry hits him. Anastasia is very upset, but Nathan comforts and calms her down, and they reaffirm their relationship. After that, Anastasia takes Nathan to Seattle to meet her parents, and they all get along very well. Then, Nathan takes her to his home in Colorado, where she also forms a good friendship with his sister. Meanwhile, their love grows stronger when Nathan saves her from falling through the ice.

After the winter break ends, Aaron returns to skating, and Nathan rejoins the hockey team. Anastasia decides to stay with Aaron to prepare for nationals and also joins him in therapy sessions. However, Nathan is not happy with this decision and tries to persuade Anastasia against it, leading to arguments between them. Eventually, Nathan realizes his mistake and apologizes to Anastasia. He feels that he should have trusted her, and his apology strengthens their relationship even more. 

During the nationals, Aaron and Anastasia perform well, but Aaron forcefully kisses Anastasia, leading Nathan to punch Aaron and causing Anastasia to quit the competition. Later, Aaron transfers elsewhere while the hockey team wins the national championship. Two years later, Anastasia wins a gold medal in women’s singles, and Nathan also achieves success in his field. After some time, Anastasia becomes pregnant, and during a vacation in Mexico, Nathan proposes to her; she happily accepts and says yes.

Icebreaker Series Review:

I just finished this book, and I must say that I liked it. I had read some negative reviews about these books, but when I read them personally, I found them to be good. The first book in this series, “Icebreaker,” was the most enjoyable book for me, and it was full of spice, romance, and entertainment.

Thanks to the writer for not putting any character’s picture on the front cover because when we imagine all these characters while reading, it feels much better. When the chapters begin, they are quite interesting, but then there are many tense moments where there are distances between Anastasia and Nathan. However, this story portrays this couple as very caring and loving.

The character that I disliked in this book was Aaron’s. Then similarly, the next two books have their own unique identities with new faces and new characters that were very entertaining. This series covers some sexual content along with being very romantic. But overall, I enjoyed this series. Some chapters felt boring to me, but overall, it was good so that I would give this series a 4-star rating. I suggest you read this series by Hanna Grace; you will enjoy it.

In the end, I just want to say that this novel should not have been too bold, but overall, it’s good.

Conclusion

The writer of this series, Hanna Grace, presented every emotion with a balance, bringing each character to life. For instance, the roles of Anastasia and Nathan as a romantic couple were positive, while Aaron’s character was negative. Some people found love, while others found hatred. Similarly, in Wildfire, Russ and Aurora’s characters are portrayed as complicated and confused, as they love each other but also try to distance themselves.

And then there is the couple from Daydream, Halle, and Henry, who suddenly meet each other, and Henry’s circumstances bring them closer. The writer has presented both love and hate throughout the series, but in the end, love wins. After reading Icebreaker, where plots are hatched to separate Nathan and Anastasia, they end up getting closer. It’s only after reading all three books in this series that you truly grasp the message the writer wants to convey.
