I was all in.Down on one-knee. Love you forever. ALL in.But I destroyed it.Because that’s what I do.The worst part… town during the off-season.
Forced to do penance or I’m no longer the Dires’ goalie.
But Sophie’s still there and she’s not buying my acts of atonement.
Why would she?
I broke her heart.
She has no reason to forgive me, but I can’t skate this time.
I remember how it felt when we got under each other’s skin.
So does she.
Hot. Wicked. Hypnotic.
Maybe if I tell her the truth, we can start over.
Or, maybe I’ll lose her all over again.
Cold as Puck is the first book in the Cold Love Series. All books in the series can be read as standalones.

Okay but not melting the ice
Cold As Puck is the first book I have read by Violet Paige and I found it to be a bit of a struggle for me to complete. Don’t get me wrong as the author has published a well written story. For me it is the characters and story-line. This book is about Roman and Sophie and a second chance romance. Roman is an azz who has made more than his fair share of blatantly bad decisions. Sophie in the meantime is more than willing to forgive all when he comes back to her. I mean she could have at least showed a bit of backbone and made him work for her forgiveness. I think this story was just not for me. But I will read another book or two before making up my mind about whether to add this author to my list or not.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Roman and Sophie were going to get married four years ago when he called it off and broke her heart. He’s back home after his team lost the last game for the Stanley Cup. The first person he sees is Sophie and he realizes he will do anything to get her back. I really enjoyed this book.

This was a good read. Roman’s backstory gutted me and I really felt for him. I did feel that Sophie forgave him too fast but it all worked out in the end for them.
This is about college girl Sophie and her home time boy Roman who is there on a hockey scholarship. There romance is hot and heavy when he breaks it off. This book had plenty of romance, angst and drama. I enjoyed this book. It had a bit more sex than was necessary. The story line was somewhat original. It was a quick and easy read.

An amazing second chance romance. This rollercoaster of ride had some many emotions swirling as I was addicted page after page. It’s well written and includes a thrilling plot with its intriguing storyline with constant action, suspense, romance, and sweet cute moments. The characters are interesting, well develo po ed and still have intense sizzling chemistry and attraction. I voluntarily read and reviewed this incredible ARC.
Roman and Sophie dated and college, and he broke her heart. Eight years later, their small hometown has hockey fever – he’s the star player. She’s tried to move on but her heart won’t cooperate. She’s pouring herself into her bookstore. He shows back up in Penny Hill for R&R in the off season, and to get his head back together. The first person he runs into is Sophie, and she disappears as fast as she can. There are so many secrets pulling them apart, and his past is tugging at his future. I loved this book, a great opener to this new series. In general, I really like hockey romances, and the backstory brought a different twist to this book. I’m looking forward to the next book.

Violet Paige heats things up with Cold As Puck (Cold Love #1). NHL Goalie, Roman Sorrow, is devastated after losing game seven of the Stanley Cup. He returns home to Penny Hill, Virginia for the summer. After eight years, he is reunited with the love of his life, Sophie Fairchild. The person whose heart he broke. This second chance sports romance is suitable for adult readers.
Cold As Puck is a heartfelt and entertaining read. Roman has a lot of dimensions. He had a tragic past that haunts him. He has secrets, and he keeps things to himself. The only person who could ever center him was Sophie and he gave her up. I love that these two get a second chance. Sophie is an admirable heroine. She was devastated when she lost Roman. She is hardworking and strong. Sophie and Roman have igniting chemistry.
Violet Paige does a fantastic job with this story. It is well written and engaging. Cold As Puck has interesting twists and a strong plot. It is a solid foundation to the Cold Love series. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
Sophie and Roman have a history. They were together for 4 years then he broke it off. He hurt her very badly and the story goes throughout with flashbacks which helps clear up what happened. At times I felt Roman was all the way in with Sophie again and others I felt as if he could leave her and not look back. But all is not what it seems so as the story unfolds, secrets are revealed. Good story line with a good mystery but at times I wanted it to come out already. Glad I was reading in my Kindle else if I had a paperback I would have flipped to the end. I liked their love story but the mystery was what kept me reading.

Sophie is a girl who likes her books. Roman is a hockey player. For years they were a couple until one day Roman was told by his father to break it off with her. He didn’t want to break the girls heart he loved. Roman made it to the NHL & Sophie swore she’d never watch another hockey game after he broke her heart. It was the play offs so she watched as much as she could without feelings of Roman playing in her head. Romans team lost but he gained much more after he was told to take a break and go back to his home town. He gained Sophie’s trust and her heart in the process. He made up for his past behavior and gained everything he ever wanted in the process. Sophie forgave him and their loved continued.

Roman and Sophie met in the library of the college they both attended. They were also from the same town. After being together four years, Roman breaks up with her. She is devastated and he is heartbroken. He is told family comes first and Sophie’s father is in military intelligence and that won’t do. Now, four years later, Roman is sent home to get himself sorted since he didn’t take losing the Stanley Cup when he missed catching a puck that scored a goal so well. There are a lot of bridges to cross to make amends to get her back. He is only sharing half truths with her leaving her confused and on edge about his intentions. An evildoer from his past is back to haunt him with threats to his loved ones unless he agrees to certain commitments again involving Sophie. Nicely written. The background in the beginning is a little sluggish up picks up.

First time reading this author Ms. Paige, and wow just wow. Love the second chance aspect along with the mysterious past of Roman, with his hidden issues. Not to mention Sophie has her own problems with an over zealous employee who turns out to be everyone’s worst nightmare. Wonderful approach into the mental health of an athlete, and people in general. That you always need someone to talk to and Sophie’s love for Roman and her warmth is the balm he needs to tell the truth. I am anxiously waiting for the next book in this series.

Roman and Sophie have been together and madly in love for years. He is an ice hockey player. Then, one day it all comes crashing down and he leaves her. Before it all happened, Sophie put all her money into buying an old building and opening a bookshop. This is what kept her going over the ensuing four years. Meanwhile Roman became a big name ice hockey player. Then he comes back to town. Can a great love resurface out of the ashes of what they once had? What were his true reasons for leaving Sophie and town? Amazing story. Totally amazing, I have never read this author before but I sure will from now on. Very highly recommended,
Great second chance romance. Roman and Sophie dated while they were in college and he ended up breaking her heart. Fast forward years later and they have both moved on, she is working on getting her business up and running and he is now a NHL goalie. After the last game of the season, he comes back home and he wants her. He has always wanted her. The chemistry between them is so hot but is it enough. Will he be able to finally have her after all these years or will she push him away in fear that he will just break her heart again?
