Everyone’s impressed, well except one person…

After a blow out in high school, Makenna Halstead and I were happy to never have to cross paths again. Except life has a way of knocking you straight in the teeth with a puck when you least expect it. She hasn’t just returned to my life, she crashed into it like a wrecking ball...into my college kingdom, into my class, and smack dab into the seat next to mine. My new lab partner to be exact.

For years we hated each other... I may be King on the ice, but she is the Ice Queen. She has no problem calling me out, doesn’t back down, and her piercing blue eyes have me picturing more than than just my arms wrapped around her.

Now we’re stuck with each other and there’s no getting around that fact that we have to work together. My hockey career hangs in the balance. Problem? Oh, yeah.

I can’t deny it. I want her. More than I ever thought I could want a woman. I’ve got one semester–only four months–to convince her everything she thought about me was wrong.

Will my queen let me prove to her I’m the King she can’t live without?

Only one way to find out...

It's no secret I'm a hockey romance junkie. But this new series... well, the Kings of Rittenhouse are undeniably sexy, adoring, and scrumptious! This series kicks off with Declan's story. And this man, because he is allll man, is swoonworthy to the nth degree. And what makes him even hotter is his Ice Queen, Makenna. 

Two misinterpreted kids from high school who had it out for each other gladly parted ways at graduation, and then life throws them back together in college, where the misinterpretations keep fueling new fire in their feud. It's always said there's a fine love between love and hate. And that could not be more true. Mak and Declan are at each other's throats with destruction as their end game, which quickly turns into love bites and drawing out moans and the best kind of pleasure. These two were insatiable in their dislike for each other, until it they became unexpectedly insatiable in their lust and love. 

This book takes sexy to a new level. Makenna and Declan are insanely hot. I mean...wow. Their passion knows no bounds. But behind the passion and their previous placement as enemies, these two have had the world stacked against them at times. Which in truth, is what led to the aforementioned misinterpretations, past and present. But Declan's sweet nature, and Makenna's inherit vulnerability can't be hidden forever. Their tough exteriors come down as they get closer. But as they give in to their emotions, their passion, and their need for something more in life, it may just be enough to scare them away from the intense reality of their relationship before they can find happiness and truly resolve the tortured parts of their pasts that still dictate their lives. 

This book is sublimely perfect. I loved Makenna. I loved Declan. I loved the hilarious, and enticing cast of friends we got to meet (and will hopefully see more of in the future). Makenna and Declan's story is one that shattered my heart a bit a times, and then turned around and had my laughing, or trying to catch my breath (I know I mentioned these two were hot, but I'll say it again: WOW). For every page I turned I just kept needing and wanting more. I loved every second of it, and if you're in the market for a steamy, enemies-to-lovers book, grab this one now, because it's to-die-for amazing!

Happy Reading!
