Max Remus couldn't care less about finding his mate—unlike the rest of his fate-obsessed pack. He totally prefers hanging with his bestie, eating his dad's steak sandwiches, and drawing in his trusty sketchbook. But all that is about to change at the Blue Moon Festival—a summer camp where Elite Pack wolves go to find their mates. The festival is a rite of passage for every teen werewolf, and this year's festival will be one to howl home about. The alpha's son, Jasper Apollo, is attending for the first time.

Story
Cutthroat political consultant Thom Morgan is thriving, working on the governor of California’s presidential campaign. If only he didn’t have to deal with Clay Parker, the infuriatingly smug data analyst who gets under Thom’s skin like it’s his job. In the midst of one of their heated and very public arguments, a journalist snaps a photo, but the image makes it look like they’re kissing. As if that weren’t already worst-nightmare territory, the photo goes viral—and in a bid to secure the liberal vote, the governor asks them to lean into it. Hard.

Bookstore owner Aubrey Barnes likes his quiet, orderly London life, thank you very much. His shop may be struggling, his only employee is a menace, and his plumbing is one creaky pipe away from disaster, but he can handle it. Maybe. He cannot, however, handle the film company that's thrown his Soho street into chaos. And he definitely can't handle the charismatic American actor Blake Sinclair.

Summary
A. L. Graziadei's Icebreaker is an irresistible YA debut about two hockey players fighting to be the best - and the romance that catches them by surprise along the way.
Seventeen-year-old Mickey James III is a college freshman, a brother to five sisters, and a hockey legacy. With a father and a grandfather who have gone down in NHL history, Mickey is almost guaranteed the league's top draft spot.
The only person standing in his way is Jaysen Caulfield, a contender for the number one spot and Mickey's infuriating (and infuriatingly attractive) teammate. When rivalry turns to something more, Mickey will have to decide what he really wants and what he's willing to risk for it.
This is a story about falling in love, finding your team (on and off the ice), and choosing your own path.

Great character
Well written, realistic character. Well narrated. Kept me interested. But please tell me this was a Part One. This story just petered out and I want more.
Being the first reviewer of a debut makes it hard for me to delete a star because of the ending.

Honest about depression, hockey, and queerness
Great narrator. Honest about how toxic and problematic hockey culture can be - which I say as a lifelong hockey fan. Honest about the pressure to live up to a legacy you didn't ask for. Honest about what depression and anxiety really feel like. And honest about what a queer love story would look like in the midst of all that. I know this is a romance book, but it had me on the edge of my seat hoping everything would be okay in the end. Great character development all around. I honestly loved it.

Outstanding narrator absolutely *makes* this book
I admit I'm fairly new to Audible, about 14 books so far, and I've heard some great narrators, but Tom Picasso is hands down my favorite so far. The absolute emotion he put into Mickey's POV made this book even better - and I like the book pretty well as it is. Is the plot flawless? No. But it's still a good story about LGBTQ+ rivals-turned-lovers, about finding yourself, about coping with near-crippling depression and anxiety, the importance of family and of found family. I could hardly bear to turn the book off when I stopped driving, because Tom Picasso's voice made me feel so much. HIGHLY recommend this audiobook for anyone who likes sports stories, LGBTQ stories, stories about coping with anxiety/depression, or all three. I don't know a thing about ice hockey, but I still loved this. I blame Tom Picasso. ;-)

Excellent!
This book has a lot. An outstanding performance by the narrator. Really deep characters and complex character arcs. Delicious tension between the two main characters. Characters fearful of making themselves vulnerable and then working through those vulnerabilities. It's silly to say, but I know I'm going to miss these characters, and I really hope there will be many sequels to come.
