Review: Loud Mouth (Ice Knights, #3) by Avery Flynn



Release Date: June 22


I never meant to say a word, not one single word.

But I did.

Now because of something I leaked—without even realizing it—I've inadvertently broken up one of the Ice Knights’ most legendary bromances. And worse—I've kicked hockey star Ian Petrov's grumpy level to insane levels of grump.

And what could make it worse? How about the two of us being trapped together in a remote cabin after a massive blizzard. Neither of us can leave. Just us, the snow, his resentment, and OMG sexual tension so thick it would take a snowplow to break through it.

I’ve got to get out of here before I do something even dumber than I’ve already done and kiss the sexy with his misplaced anger and perfect pecs. That would be the worst, the absolute worst. But… would it be terrible if we gave in? Just a little? It’s not like we’re ever going to have to spend time together again. 

Until the next morning when we’re told we have to play chummy for the press until this news cycle blows over.

Review:

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Loud Mouth is the third book in the Ice Knights series by Avery Flynn. I read Parental Guidance (book #1) and I loved it, so I knew I had to give this book a chance. I didn't love it as much as I loved Parental Guidance, but even with some bumps I enjoyed the book and if asked, I would recommend it.

My main issue with the story is that I feel like Shelby and Ian barely spent any time in the cabin and got back to their normal lives pretty fast. The romance would have felt more believable to me, if they had been stranded for an extended amount of time because then they would have had more time to get to know each other. Something about Ian and Shelby's romanced seemed off to me, though it wasn't in a capacity that would make me change my view of the book.

I had a good time reading this story and it was a nice, light-hearted book that worked for me. It's a stand-alone, but at times I felt like I should have read the previous book first in order to understand a few situations in this book. The whole "Shelby opened her mouth and ruined Ian's life" thing was a little abrupt.

The two paragraphs above are the reason I am giving 4 stars to the book instead of 5. They are mostly small things, which days after finishing the book still bug me, but they didn't affect my view of the book negatively (much). I liked Ian's developing relationships with Shelby and Alex, his ex-best friend, and half brother. Also, there is one player who has a sad story and I want to see him get a happy ending too! Sebastian needs to be the next Ice Knight who will get a book!
