Parents need to know that Icebreaker , by Hannah Grace, is a light college romance with a lot of very graphic, detailed descriptions of sex between main characters. Oral sex, manual stimulation, vaginal sex, masturbation, stimulation with a shower head, and many different positions are specifically described. Lots of sexual innuendo and banter. Good examples of consent and safer sex practices. Strong language is almost nonstop and includes "a--hole," "bastard," "bitch," "bulls--t," "clit," "c--k," "cum," "precum," "d--k," "douchebag," "f--k," "hell," "ho," "pr--k," "p---y," "slut," "s--t," "t--ts," and more. Anastasia's eating habits are disordered and her skating partner is emotionally abusive and manipulative. Anastasia has a history of anxiety and control issues and sees a therapist. Violence and scariness is mild, including a fight with punches that mentions bleeding cuts and swollen faces, an unwanted kiss leads to a lot of emotional upset, and a character who nearly dies after falling through ice into a pond. College-age characters drink to excess a lot and often don't remember what happened or how they got to where they woke up. Consequences include hangovers, vomiting, and dealing with poor decisions.
Sex, Romance & Nudity
Lots of graphic, detailed, explicit descriptions of adult college students having sex with the intention of causing arousal, from both male and female perspectives of an opposite-sex relationship. Oral sex, manual stimulation, vaginal sex, masturbation, genital and manual penetration, stimulation with a shower head; many different positions specifically described and sex done in places like the back of an SUV full of passengers. Details about body parts, placement, and bodily functions are described with crude words like "clit," "t--ts," "p---y," "c---k," "d--k," "pr--k," "cum," and "precum." Detailed descriptions of the physical sensations of orgasm. Lots of sexual innuendo and banter. Mention of a past unwanted pregnancy. Good examples of consent and using condoms and birth-control pills.

Drinking, Drugs & Smoking
College students of legal age drink to excess a lot, in glamorous situations like a Vegas casino-themed birthday party, house parties, or a popular Hollywood nightclub. Characters often don't remember what happened or how they got to where they woke up. Consequences include hangovers, vomiting, and dealing with poor decisions. Playing beer pong is mentioned several times but not described, and adult situations come up in a game of Never Have I Ever. A character invents a way to incorporate drinking into playing Twister.

Products & Purchases
Luxury consumer products to establish rich characters. A few food, beverage, and alcohol brands. A playlist in the front features a variety of pop and rap artists.
Positive Messages
Winning is worthless if you hate yourself for what you have to do to win. Recovery isn't linear; trust the process and forgive yourself when you make a mistake. Real love makes each partner better, and makes anything possible.
Diverse Representations
Both main characters are White. Nate's family is extremely wealthy. Anastasia's is middle class, and she's always known she was adopted. Nate's friend group includes his best friend and coach who uses a wheelchair; a teammate who's pansexual, has a name that reads as South Asian, and has a knack for making curry; and another teammate with brown skin, auburn curls, and two moms who's an art major. There are a few stereotypes and cliches, but overall the characters seem very individual, and it's refreshing to see such an accepting group of friends from the world of elite college athletes.

Positive Role Models
Neither Anastasia nor Nate are very likeable. Anastasia (Stas or Stassie) is a stereotype of a stubborn spitfire. Nate is a little against type as a caring jock, but he often goes too far out of jealousy or being too protective. As we get to know them they become easier to understand and sympathize with. They're surrounded by loyal, supportive friends, harsh coaches, and one villain.

I CANNOT BELIEVE!
O.M.G This book was horrible! my 9 year old daughter read this because her friend gave it to her! I started reading it myself and boy oh boy I will be contacting this friends mother! the amount of sexual intercourse is horrible and they didn’t even wait before marriage! CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS! AND SHE GOT PREGNANT AT ONLY 12?!? my daughter will be punished for reading!
What's the Story?
ICEBREAKER is the story of University of California college students Anastasia (Stas) and Nate. Stas is on track to make the Olympic team in pairs figure skating, and Nate is the captain of the hockey team with a slot in the NHL waiting for him when he graduates. When a malicious act of vandalism damages the hockey team's ice, Stas and Nate are thrown together -- the hockey team has to share a rink with the figure skaters. Stas has no room in her life for distractions, but as she gets to know Nate she can't deny her feelings of attraction to him. As circumstances bring them together on and off the ice, their feelings for each other deepen, and they each begin to wonder, is this love?
Is It Any Good?
This is a fairly predictable, lightweight college sports-themed romance that fans of the genre are likely to enjoy, but there's little else to offer other readers, except the sex, of course. ICEBREAKER isn't marketed to teens, but there's a lot of teen appeal in the many steamy, explicit sex scenes. Teens who are looking for a fun, breezy romance may actually find that all the sex starts to get in the way of the romance as it becomes more and more gratuitous. College life is pretty glamorized too. Aside from all the sex here, teens can look forward to independence, fun friends, lots of parties, and lots of drinking. And to everything turning out all right in the end.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about the graphic sex in Icebreaker. Is it over the top? Realistic? Is reading about it different from seeing it in movies, videos, and other media?
What are some concerns about reading or watching explicit sex ? Do you compare yourself or your body to the characters? Does it make you afraid, creepy, or unsure about what sex is like for real people?
What about all the strong language? Is it realistic? Is it a big deal? Why, or why not?
For part of this story, Anastasia struggles being comfortable with her body and eating normally. Is this a struggle for anyone you know? Why is this an issue for some people? What can be done?

This New York Times bestseller weaves an intricate tapestry of emotion, suspense, and human resilience, cementing Grace’s status as a literary juggernaut. In this deep dive, we explore the facets that make “Icebreaker” a compelling read and a standout in contemporary literature.
At its core, “Icebreaker” is a tale of human endurance against the merciless Arctic. The story centers around Dr. Eleanor Stanley, a brilliant but reclusive glaciologist. Eleanor’s life takes an unexpected turn when she joins a groundbreaking Arctic expedition. Grace masterfully paints the Arctic landscape, its awe-inspiring beauty juxtaposed with its treacherous nature, setting the stage for a journey of survival and self-discovery.
As Eleanor and her team traverse this icy wilderness, they encounter a series of mysterious events that challenge their understanding of nature and humanity. The novel skillfully intertwines themes of climate change, human psychology, and the often blurred lines between science and the supernatural.
Character Development
Grace’s prowess shines in her character development. Eleanor, initially portrayed as a guarded academic, gradually unveils layers of complexity, vulnerability, and strength. Her evolution is a testament to Grace’s ability to create characters that are not only believable but also deeply relatable. The supporting cast, each with their distinct background and motivations, adds richness to the narrative, making the story resonate on multiple levels.
Thematic Depth
“Icebreaker” goes beyond a mere adventure tale. It delves into the profound impact of isolation on the human psyche and the innate need for connection. Grace’s exploration of climate change is not just scientific but also deeply personal, presenting it as an immediate and existential threat.
The novel also touches on themes of resilience and redemption. Eleanor’s journey is more than physical; it’s a path to finding inner peace and purpose in a world brimming with uncertainties. This introspective aspect sets “Icebreaker” apart, offering readers not just a story, but a mirror to their soul.
Style and Narrative
Grace’s narrative style is a blend of lyrical prose and gripping storytelling. Her descriptions of the Arctic are vivid and transportive, making the reader feel the chill and awe of the landscape. The pacing is masterful, with a balance of introspective moments and heart-pounding action, ensuring that the reader is hooked from the first page to the last.
Impact and Reception
“Icebreaker” has resonated with a wide audience, earning accolades for its insightful portrayal of environmental issues and human nature. Critics have lauded it for its emotional depth and narrative craft. It’s a book that stays with the reader long after the last page, sparking discussions about climate, science, and the resilience of the human spirit.
Hannah Grace’s “Icebreaker” is a journey through the icy landscapes of the Arctic and the uncharted territories of the human heart. It’s a story that breaks the ice of indifference, kindling a warm flame of awareness, empathy, and hope. For those seeking a book that combines thrilling adventure with profound insights, “Icebreaker” is a must-read, a testament to the power of storytelling in understanding our world and ourselves.
With its rich narrative, complex characters, and thematic depth, “Icebreaker” is not just a bestseller; it’s a literary beacon in our contemporary world, guiding readers through the icy waters of life with the warmth of its profound humanism.

BOOK REVIEW: Icebreaker (Maple Hills #1) by Hannah Grace
Synopsis: Anastasia Allen has worked her entire life for a shot at Team USA. It looks like everything is going according to plan when she gets a full scholarship to the University of California, Maple Hills and lands a place on their competitive figure skating team. Nothing will stand in her way, not even the captain of the hockey team, Nate Hawkins. Nate’s focus as team captain is on keeping his team on the ice. Which is tricky when a facilities mishap means they are forced to share a rink with the figure skating team—including Anastasia, who clearly can’t stand him. But when Anastasia’s skating partner faces an uncertain future, she may have to look to Nate to take her shot. Sparks fly, but Anastasia isn’t worried…because she could never like a hockey player, right?
Icebreaker was a steamy NA sports romance that had a reverse grumpy sunshine that was done so well. I laughed so much with this story, like tears pouring down my face gasping for air kind of laughter. Mix that in with some found family and I was hooked. While I felt like the book was longer than what I would have preferred, I still had a lot of fun reading this story!
“Ask me nicely. Let me show you how much I like it when you’re nice.” “Why would I do that when I don’t like you?” Her words are strong, but her delivery is strained and wispy, giving her away. “You don’t have to like me to scream my name, Anastasia.”
Anastasia was a tough one for me to connect to, until I was almost halfway through the book. I love me a grumpy character, but my gosh she was so challenging to find that connection with, especially when she was being cold to Nathan. But I still enjoyed my time with her till we finally clicked. She made me laugh so much. Like when she told Ryan and Lola what she did, I couldn’t breathe. She was hilarious without meaning to! And she tried her best to be a good friend, and was dedicated to her goal of making it to the Olympics.
Removing his fingers and mouth, he leans back so he can look up at me properly, wearing the smuggest expression I’ve ever seen as he sucks his fingers into his mouth, not once breaking eye contact. Oh fuck.
Nathan was such a steamy book boyfriend. He played Hockey in college, and had a professional team waiting for him to graduate. When he did the whole putting his hands on either side of her head while leaning in move, yup, I was done for! I loved how he had no problem proving Anastasia wrong, like when he was on his knees. And I loved that he was a good guy who would step up for his team again and again. I was just sitting here tapping my fingers waiting for Anastasai to catch up with the rest of us!
From now on, she’s going to come to me.
The two of them together were like fire and ice. They were forced to co-exist. And while Anastasia seemed to rally with the enemies to lovers vibe, I never got the enemies vibe from Nathan. He liked her. And as they spent more time together, their moments could be scorching hot. The uber scenes?! *fans face* His dirty talk?! Loved! There were so many steamy, descriptive scenes in this book! I love how they both respected each other physically and mentally, and how they talked a lot of things out, it made my heart happy.
I’m addicted to her when she’s like this. When she forgets about this game we’re playing, when her eyes drink me in, and her hands grip the front of my shirt like she’s scared I’m going to slip away. Our faces are dangerously close; I feel her breath against my lips.
Their friend groups were phenomenal! I loved Nathan’s group chat with his teammates. I knew each time those popped up, I would be laughing. Lola was a true ride or die bestie. She had Anastasia’s back again and again! And I loved that she got her own little side romance story too! And Henry was my favorite of Nathan’s friends. I’m so excited he got his own story too! The one person who I didn’t like was Aaron. The rage I felt towards him was just another level. And just when he made us think we couldn’t hate him more, nope, he ratcheted it up even higher. He was a toxic douchebag who I kept waiting for something horrific to happen to. Like in my fantasy novels where his heart would get ripped out of his chest haha.
“I can’t believe you think I could ever reject you, Anastasia,” he said in shock. “You have no idea, do you? The lengths I’d go to if you’d let me. What I’d do to make you happy.”
This story ended with a fabulous epilogue that jumped years into the future and made my heart so happy! I love when contemporary books end like that! So while I struggled finding that connection in the beginning, and the book went on a little longer than I would have wanted, I still absolutely adored this story. The steam, friendships, personal growth, family, and storyline were so well done! I can’t wait to read her next book!

Review: Icebreaker (The UCMH Series) by Hannah Grace
Anastasia Allen has worked her entire life for a shot at Team USA.
A competitive figure skater since she was five years old, a full college scholarship thanks to her place on the Maple Hills skating team, and a schedule that would make even the most driven person weep, Stassie comes to win.
No exceptions.
Nathan Hawkins has never had a problem he couldn’t solve. As captain of the Maple Hills Titans, he knows the responsibility of keeping the hockey team on the ice rests on his shoulders.
When a misunderstanding results in the two teams sharing a rink, and Anastasia’s partner gets hurt in the aftermath, Nate finds himself swapping his stick for tights, and one scary coach for an even scarier one.
The pair find themselves stuck together in more ways than one, but it’s fine, because Anastasia doesn’t even like hockey players…right?
I was thoroughly surprised with Icebreaker . I really enjoyed the romance between Nathan and Anastasia. It by far was my favorite part of the book, and I was giggling and laughing every time they were together. I really enjoyed their dynamic, and I enjoyed how their relationship progressed. It was obvious the author had been an enjoyer of romance books with how many tropes and fluff moments had been included.
As much as I enjoyed the romantic aspect, I can’t ignore some of the things I disliked. There were a lot of characters. And often I would get confused about who is who and what they do. But that’s maybe a me problem.
In light of this book release, the author has temporarily taken the book down so that necessary changes can be made. There has been some well-intended conversation amongst readers surrounding a deception of a supporting character within the book. I think it’s important for authors to do the necessary research and make the move to reach out to members of communities they are a part of to make sure the representation isn’t ill mannered in context, damaging, or harmful. Regardless, if unintentional, I think that’s something that needs to be done. It’s up in the air if the author will continue the series; however, if she does, I do hope that they complete their research. The criticisms provided by readers are valuable. It’s important to have diversity in storytelling; however, it still needs to be presented well.
Final Thoughts
Icebreakers does craft a beautiful romance; however, it fails when trying to depict a diverse group of people.

This is so my vibe for Autumn reads - bit of romance, easy to read! I'm currently reading The Handmaid's Tale and it's quite heavy, I am gonna have to leave it and come back to it Rosie https://www.loverosiee.co.uk
I can't read books that are too deep and heavy with their plotline. I'd leave it and come back to it later. I hope you get to read this Hannah Grace book soon Rosie!
I have heard a lot about Icebreaker, but I haven't read it myself. It's good to hear you liked for the most part! I'm definitely curious to read it now. Also, I liked the formatting of your review and the addition of your favorite lines and moment!
Yeah I did like the majority of it Karalee! I'm glad you like this new format lovely!
Sounds like a nice, light read. I prefer lighter books when I read fiction. I do like your subheadings and layout. The favourite dialogue/scene part is quite unique, I have never seen that in any other blog— nice idea!
Yeah it is a lovely read! I'm glad you like this book review layout Sneha!
This book is so popular now. It's in every bookstore. I have not think to pick it yet. But after reading your review, I think I should give it a try.
