Hot hockey superstar Brent Oliver has it all—good looks, charm, dozens of endorsement deals, and a spectacular career.
Uh, nix that last one.
Brent has the talent and skill that should have his career soaring. But something is wrong. He’s lost his hockey mojo and can’t get it back.
Enter Aubrey Shelburne, life coach to the stars.
Aubrey’s worked with some difficult celebrities, but she’s never encountered a guy quite like Brent Oliver.
Or has she?
Seems a reckless night of partying, one that had Aubrey waking up in a strange man’s bed, is about to bite her in the ass. That is, if Brent doesn’t first.
Fighting an off-the-charts attraction, Aubrey and Brent must learn to work together. But it’s not an easy task when they’re at each other’s throats every minute.
Is this relationship a disaster in the making?
Or is it destiny?
Washboard abs and sex toy mishaps aside, Destiny on Ice is a fun and irreverent romp that’ll have you swooning on one page and laughing on the next.

Excerpt
Whoa, wait! What am I thinking here? No lap dances and dates with Aubrey?
Never. Going. To. Happen.
“What’s up with you, Brent?” Nolan asks. “You’ve been weird since we left your house.”
We’re on the back patio of his house now, which is four doors down from my place. I’m still drinking, but much more slowly.
Setting my beer down on an outdoor iron table in front of me, I sigh. “I don’t know, man. I guess I feel kind of bad treating Aubrey the way I did.”
“What?” He makes a who-the-fuck-cares face. “You mean the life coach chick?”
“Yeah, the life coach chick.” I blow out a breath. “But she’s more than that. She’s a really great girl.”
Nolan knows me far too well. He senses where this is leading.
“Dude,” he begins, in full warning mode. “Don’t even think of going there.”
I play dumb. “What do you mean?”
“Oh, you know what I mean. Getting involved with that woman would be nothing but trouble. She was hired by the team to help you, which kind of makes her like your employee by default.”
“An employee I’d like to bang,” I admit.
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”
I glare over at him from across the patio table. “Are you kidding? Of course you would.”
“Yeah, you’re probably right,” he concedes. “So maybe you should bang her. But real secretly. And just once. Get her out of your system before you fuck up your career.”
When he starts staring over at me, like he has more to say on the subject, I make an attempt to change the topic. I need to end this conversation about my life coach, who I already can’t get out of my goddamn mind.
In my most dickhead tone, I say, “Stop giving me your googly eyes, Solvenson. You know how it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside when you do that.”
“Fuck off, Oliver,” Nolan volleys back, looking away as he takes a long pull from his beer. As he lowers his bottle, he adds, “I know what you’re doing, anyway.”
“Oh yeah, you do? Please tell me then, great sensei, what am I doing?”
“You’re deflecting. You’re trying to hide from the truth.”
“Which is?”
“You’re falling hard for your hot little life coach.”
Shit, I hate when he’s right.
5 Panty-Stealer Stars!!!!!
This is my first S.R. Grey read and i loved it Destiny On Ice is the first book in the Boys Of Winter Series and what a start we got with this Sports Rom-Com.
Brent is a Go Big or Go Home type of guy living the life of a sports celeb booze, party's and puck bunnies. But the owners and coach of the team are worried its starting to affect his game and decides to intervene with a life coach.
In steps Aubery Shelburne the life coach assigned to Brent, but here's the thing they have met. Neither of them realise before the meeting who each other is and lets just say it was a very interesting and quite a funny morning!!!
This leads to a funny push, pull love to hate relationship. I loved the bickering and the way they pushed each others buttons they had amazing chemistry giving us the right amount of build up to them coming together. With some very hilarious moments (Area 51 and AL the Aligattor).
"I'm going to Area 51, baby. And you bet your ass i'm about to light up the sky with the glow."
When you get to this part you will understand and will be laughing out loud!!
The characters are lovable and well developed. I love how the story ended. I enjoyed S.R. Grey’s writing style and humour. I definitely plan on continuing to read this series. I am looking forward to Nolan’s story, RESISTANCE ON ICE
"Maybe i'm trying to make you fall for me?"
"What if i already have?"
