 Melting the Ice completely and totally melted my heart. We are seven books into this series and each new book continues to bring original compelling plots and a whole cast of characters that become so alive you experience their emotions right along with their story. But honestly what else do we expect from Ms. Burton? She is one of the best at what she does. 
 Drew and Carolina share a story that is loaded with some of my favorite book themes. We get everything from, the brother's best friend and his sister, a one-night hookup from the past that was a disaster, careers getting in the way of having a relationship, and best of all, hockey. Which of course is only the best sport in the entire world. Mix all of this together and throw in a massive amount of sizzling, spicy sex and you have a guaranteed best seller. 
 I loved the pace of this story. They had a disastrous past to overcome and they really had a chance to build a foundation to their relationship. It wasn't a rushed love story and she wasn't giving into to his guaranteed charms. He had to work and prove to her that he deserved to be a part of her life. 
 As far as Carolina goes, she is completely focused on her career. She comes from money and is set out to prove to everyone that she is one of the best in the fashion world. She is tired of everyone thinking she can buy her way through life. She has no time to commit to a relationship. She has no desire to have a life outside of her career and she has no plans of ever being with Drew again. But Drew is relentless in his quest to prove he isn't the same guy he was years ago. His biggest challenge yet is to prove to her he is worth her time. 
 Add her intense work schedule to his hockey schedule and there isn't much time left over for much of anything. Their journey from point A to point B is fantastic. They definitely have a lot of up and down moments, but it just adds a lot to the final ah hah moment when they both realize they need each other and are both willing to make adjustments and sacrifices to make that happen. 
 This is one of my favorite sports themed series. Ms. Burton knows what she is writing about and she has a way to pull you right onto the ice, field, or the track. This is a guaranteed winner and one that you won't want to miss out on.
