Loud Mouth (Ice Knights series Book 3) by Avery Flynn

I never meant to say a word, not one single word. But I did. Now because of something I leaked--without even realizing it--I've inadvertently broken up one of the Ice Knights' most legendary bromances. And worse--I've kicked hockey star Ian Petrov's grumpy level to insane levels of grump.

And what could make it worse? How about the two of us being trapped together in a remote cabin after a massive blizzard. Neither of us can leave. Just us, the snow, his resentment, and OMG sexual tension so thick it would take a snowplow to break through it. I've got to get out of here before I do something even dumber than I've already done and kiss the sexy grouch with his misplaced anger and perfect pecs. That would be the worst, the absolute worst. But... would it be terrible if we gave in? Just a little? It's not like we're ever going to have to spend time together again.

Until the next morning when we're told we have to play chummy for the press until this news cycle blows over. F.M.L.

It's finally here!! I've been waiting for this book for awhile, so definitely couldn't wait to get start on this when I finally got it downloaded. I absolutely love hockey romance books, I couldn't tell you why specifically hockey (although maybe it has something to do with one of home countries!), but they are my catnip.

This is the third book in Ms. Flynn's Ice Knights series and in the Harbor City world. We're aware of Ian and some of the other characters mentioned from previous works, along with The Biscuit, so it's nice to see their story.

We're immediately thrown right into the story and into the major problem at hand - dealing with the fact that two former best friends are actually brothers and one has known for a long time, and the other is just finding out. Along with the fact that the person who accidentally leaked this secret is our female lead. We pick up straight into the chemistry between our leads, and the romance comes later.

Spoilers Ahead.

While I did love this book and the plotline, I did find myself slightly disappointed with not knowing more. We have a great plot with numerous side adventures that I would have loved to have seen more of, along with the romance between our two leads. While things were wrapped up for the most part, it would have just been nice to have seen more of the romance between our leads and more information about tidbits given, such as the relationship between Zara and her mother, or Zara changing her mind about leaving Harbor City. Don't get me wrong, this is a good summer romance read and one that does keep you entertained, I just was left feeling slightly unsatisfied.

Overall, another great summer read from Ms. Flynn, and I'm hopeful that we'll still have more left in the series!
