Goodreads Synopsis
They say love is messy. Turns out friendship is too, especially when you’re stranded in a cabin with your best friend and hearts are on thin ice.
Teddy
I’ve heard that men and women can’t be friends without it becoming something more. Harlow and I put that theory in the penalty box, thank you very much.
She laughs at my jokes, secretly admires my hockey butt, trusts me with her biggest fear (it’s safe with me). In turn, she knows everything about me. Well, almost.
There’s been a recent development. I’m gone for her. Down bad. Solid Crush. She lives rent free in my mind. I’ve caught feelings. This wouldn’t be a problem except, you know, the whole shattering our friendship thing.
Harlow
You know those days you want to erase? It went like my boyfriend broke up with me (it was overdue), and then I broke up with my job while at a work conference (it was mind-numbing).
In an ironic twist, I won the raffle for a romantic getaway trip for two. Who else to bring other than my best friend who’ll gladly commiserate with me? He has a hockey event nearby, so it works out perfectly.
Until we’re stranded in the cozy cabin together. There’s a blaze of attraction. A friendship-changing kiss.
What now? Do we hit the reset button? Salvage what we had? Pretend it never happened? These are things I’d talk to my bestie about, but I can’t because I’m head over heels for him.
Love at First Skate is part of the Love on Thin Ice sweet small town hockey romcom series. It's a best friends to lovers, forced proximity, no third act breakup romantic comedy with all the sizzle and chemistry, but none of the spice.

Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher, via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
Friendship turns to love when best friends Harlow and Teddy put their friendship to the test at a romantic getaway near Maple Falls. They've always been comfortable with each other, never crossing the line when it came to the boundary between friendship and more, but that's all about to change.
I really enjoy friendship to lovers romances, and this was a good one. Harlow had just broken up with her boyfriend and quit her job, so winning the romantic getaway for two was just what she needed. She and Teddy were so close that it wouldn't make a difference for them to share a secluded cabin, right, especially not when Teddy will be playing at the local charity tournament. It was clear that both she and Teddy were best friends, but both had been hiding their feelings for each other for a while. Teddy was only just coming to terms with his feelings being more romantic than platonic, as he had always thought that Harlow was out of his reach, but now that she's single, the gloves are off.
