Melting the Iceman

Isaac Wolf rents a home next to Avery Maxwell.  They meet when he chases after his dog.  The boxer likes going next door to where all the animals are.  Avery trains horses at at a farm who takes in animals who need love after abuse.  They help people who have been abused too.

Their story gets more complicated when we learn that her sister, (Avery has 3), is engaged to his team captain.  Needless to say he and she are both warned off each other right quick.  She lives there with her twin, who is quite conservative and thinks she should be too.

Isaac is used to being a rough, tell it like it is and punch whoever does not like it kind of guy.  He is learning that this team is his last chance in the NHL and he better make the most of it.  He normally is a loner, estranged from his family, and does not make friends easily.  

Avery and Isaac become friends after they talk it out.  Their one night stand has to be forgotten.  The complication in it all is that they want to have more nights.  As they get closer, Isaac realizes she is someone special and wants more.  Avery is afraid to rock the boat. This is 5th book in the Game On in Seattle series.  I give it a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP!
