About this listen
From USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author L A Cotton comes a brother's-best-friend sports romance. Lakeshore U, where hockey is religion and the players are gods. Are you ready to fall in love with a Laker?
When Aurora Hart moves in with her brother and his two teammates, it’s only supposed to be a temporary fix.
Enter Noah Holden. Cocky. Heartbreaker. With enough game to have every girl on campus falling at his feet.
When Noah’s best friend asks him to look out for his sister, he doesn’t expect to find her so resistant to his charm. Or find himself so interested in his new housemate.
He’s Lakeshore U’s biggest player. She’s quirky, shy, and 100 percent not his type.
Can Noah help Rory let go of the insecurities holding her back from embracing life? Or will he be unable to break the ice around her heart?
Break the Ice is a 100,000-word stand-alone novel set in the Lakeshore U series. It deals with sensitive issues that may be triggering for some listeners. Recommended for listeners 18+.

A wonderfully honest look into the brutal treatment of not looking like the model perfect ideals many expect children, teens, and women to live up to. It also looks at the internal scarring it can cause to our pychy!😢
Aurora is curvy girl. She's spent her life being called names by her peers, while at home her mum 'encouraged' her to diet, exercise, and always try harder to fit the mold! She's escaped to Lakeshore University, where her big brother attends, to try and mend her heart and mind!
Noah is a star hockey player. He lives with 2 of his team mates, one of whoms sister will be staying with them for a bit while her dorm room is sorted out. He is the quintessential playboy, he doesn't do 'repeats' or sleepovers. Then he meets Aurora and becomes rather smitten! Unfortunately, life isn't simple!🥺
A fabulous read, the audiobook is absolutely fantastic though.😍 The dual narration is my favourite way to listen, its so dynamic. I really liked the female narrator!⭐️

I enjoyed this story! The book is very much driven by the characters and their developments, which made it a little light on plot. Both Aurora and Noah have series childhood trauma they're trying to deal with, but they can't resist the pull they feel towards each other. They were very cute together, and I loved the way he made her feel beautiful and desirable. Noah's initial "she's not my type" was a bit of a turn off, which was never adequately explained away for my liking. I have to say, I was furious with Connor and Ella when they had their "intervention" with Noah. I couldn't believe what kind of friends would do what they did. I understand why they would raise concerns with Noah, but they didn't give Aurora the opportunity to give her own opinion. They pushed Noah into the third act breakup, which drove me insane! Furthermore, neither of them spoke about it for ages, just hiding their involvement. I don't know that Connor ever apologised!!
I felt as though the ending was slighrly rushed. There were only two or so chapters where Aurora and Noah were working things out, Noah was dealing with his dad, and they were telling Austin about their relationship. The epilogue came as a bit of a surprise, as I felt more needed to be said.
I really related to Aurora as a character. She's a I really related to Aurora as a character. She's a plus sized FMC and her struggles with food are a familiar topic to me, and so it really hit home. It felt very familiar, and completely genuine, and I loved her for this. None of her trauma felt forced, and how she reacted was so understandable.
Noah was also a good character, if a bit nondescript. He felt like the archetype playboy hockey player. He had some serious family trauma, but this came across as under-developed. The truth was mentioned in one conversation after several allusions to issue with his dad throughout the rest of the book. Then, when he was confronted with the decision he needed to make, we didn't get to see that or live that with him, unlike Aurora.
The narration was very well done by both Teddy Hamilton and Stella Hunter. It is done in a full duet style, where male voices were done by TH, and female voices done by SH. I've not found many other books narrated like this and actually I really liked it. I thought their voices blended really nicely, and it gave me the opportunity to really identify the characters. I felt closer to everyone in the story because they had a single voice. Both put narrators put good emotion into the difficult passages, and it was a great listen.
Overall, a good book, and I will probably go back and listen to the first story in the series and look for more by the author!

A brand new series- Lakeshore U.
I loved the Dual Narration- having both POVs just sucks you in more.
There are sensitive topics from eating disorders, family issues/ abuse and general insecurities...
It was refreshing reading about the lead Female character who had the issues she had, Lianne did a great job portraying the topics.
The Interactions between Noah and Rory gave me all the feels.. plus there are a couple of steamy scenes.
Great Audiobook
Shortcake + Hotshot = 🔥
