About this ebook

From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa comes an enthralling single dad, hockey romance that skates through the challenges of forbidden love, healing after trauma, and found family.


They say never mix business with pleasure.

As a single father, and the captain of the Seattle Sasquatches, I’m adamant to keep every corner of my life separate and running perfectly. 

That is, until Indie Decker walked into my life. 

She’s the team owner's little sister, my new nanny, and so completely out of my league.


Our first encounter? Pure fire, clashing wills with a passion that ensnared us both. Our second? A tentative truce, maybe even a budding friendship. But at some point, we slid recklessly into a 'friends with benefits' arrangement, thinking we could stay casual. 


Wishful thinking, I know.


With each passing day, our no-strings-attached fling starts weaving threads between us that I’m not ready to cut. Indie’s fierce independence clashes with my need to protect, to heal, and to love her despite her weariness to open up.


But will my steadfast will and soft hands be enough to get through her defenses? Or am I doomed to sit in the penalty box of Indie’s heart? 


Ice, Love, & Other Penalties is part of the family Decker but can be read as a standalone.

I dived into this read as soon as it landed in my Kindle as I love the Decker's. Claudia once again drew me in with her writing and left me craving more. It was yet another emotional whirlwind that left me emotionally drained by the end yet feeling content. Indie and Tyberius had my heart from the first chapter. And the more I got to know them, the harder I fell. Indie and Ty might come from different worlds, but they are perfect for each other. My heart broke for everything they had to go through. I was happy when they opened to each other. The spice was off the charts and their chemistry sizzling hot enough to melt my Kindle. I was in awe of Indie for moving forward in life despite her insecurities and for overcoming them and was swooning over Ty throughout the read. He is the perfect bookboyfriend and father. After he reveals the secret, I fell even more for him. Myra was adorable, and I loved her from the first moment. There is so much more i wanna say, but I do not want to spoil.

Looking for an age-gap, single dad and sports romance with a sassy and independent woman and a pro hockey player who is trying to keep his head above the water and making sure that his little girl feels all the love she deserves? Ms. Burgoa has the book for you with Ice, Love & Other Penalties. She tells us a story where two people never thought love would be right in front of them. Tate is the new captain of the Seattle Sasquatches and needs help with caring for his daughter Myra. This is where Indie walks in, well she was voluntold to help by her bother who is the owner of the team. Indie and Tate's relationship of employer and employee crosses a few lines because they can't fight the chemistry between them. Being a nanny was supposed to be a temporary thing but that never worked out. Indie loved Myra and the two of them grew close just like she and Tate. The banter and flirting that went back and forth through texts heated up the pages. The sexual tension was building with every text and interaction that happened between the two of them. The more I read their story the more I was swooned by Tate and how he treated Indie as well as his daughter. The storyline has me pulled in right from the start and before I knew it time had slipped away from me and it was early in the morning.

This was a terrific addition to the Decker Family series. This is Indigo (Indie) Decker and single dad and captain of the Seattle Sasquatches Tyberius (Ty) Brynes’s story and what an emotional read it was. I fell hard for Ty and admired his persistence with Indie and his relationship with his daughter Myra was swoon worthy. The chemistry between them was hard to ignore and once they crossed the line, all bets were off. The banter was witty and their texts had me smiling at times.
