Description
They call me the Ice Queen.
I take it as a compliment, because owning a pro hockey team requires a certain ruthlessness. But my penchant for ball busting has made me political enemies, and one of them has the clout to get me deported back to my home country of Russia. There’s only one solution: I have to get married, and fast.
Enter Colby Harrison.
He’s an easygoing forward on my team who meets my only requirement: he’s a single US citizen. I talk him into a fake, married only on paper arrangement, solving my problem. That is, until we move in together, clashing at every turn. We only get along in one place, which is how I discover that my aloof new husband is a different man in bed. He demands that I give up the one thing I cherish most: control.
I own him on paper. He owns me in the bedroom. And soon, I start wondering if I’m the only one who’s not faking it anymore.
Reviews
Mediocre dubcon with no heart
2By kalanyyThe writing is mediocre, with errors that should have been corrected by any competent editor. The sex is cliche dubcon that feels like someone diligently transcribing the top videos on PornHub. The romance has no heart to it, no believable sense of emotion other than being horny for each other. The characters are flat caricatures of popular tropes: the Russian heiress and the sexy jock. The jock has a brother he likes, and that's about the extent of making us care about a millionaire NHL star. There's a vague hand wave attempt at making us not hate the billionaire because she occasionally does random acts of kindness. There's something that's supposed to be a twist, I guess, that humanizes her, but it's so incredibly cliche that it's visible a mile away. Two stars because it did contain English words in a sensible order and it did adhere to genre conventions. Still, not worth your time unless you're incredibly bored or you have a fetish for Russian billionaires.Pretty Poor

5By miling12Really liked this book!Thank youLOVED THIS BOOK!!
5By Yorkl_2This book 100% sucked me in!!!Loved Colby and Mila!
5By Rinsky13Colby & Mila, I loved them! That are in the third book in the Colorado Coyotes series, and I couldn’t get enough! It started out as a marriage of convenience between the “Ice Queen” owner of the team & the hunky hot player, but it soon turned into more. There were quite a few moments that got me emotionally. And I absolutely loved their growth, both with themselves and each other. Definitely a series worth reading
