Shattered Ice: A Good Girl x Bad Boy Enemies-to-Lovers Hockey Romance
He’s the king of the ice. I’m the scholarship girl who’s supposed to save him.
If I fail, I lose everything.
Adrian Hale is a legacy, a captain, and a predator. On the surface, he’s untouchable—the golden boy of Briarcliff University, worshipped by fans and feared by rivals. But behind the brutal smirk and perfect stats is a man unraveling, hiding a secret that could end his future.
Clara Harrington is a survivor. Every inch of her life has been clawed from the edge of collapse, held together by discipline, control, and a refusal to break. The one rule she lives by? Stay invisible. Stay safe. But now she’s trapped—forced to tutor the one person who sees straight through her walls.
Our sessions are a battlefield. Every word, every glance, every breath between us is a weapon. He pushes. I push back. He thinks he can crack me open. I refuse to be conquered.
But obsession is its own kind of surrender. And in the shadows of locker rooms and the silence of library stacks, hate starts to taste like hunger. Control slips. Lines blur.
And the boy I should despise becomes the one man who could shatter me completely.

I thought this was okay. I thought there was a lot of unnecessary descriptions in this book and me made me confused at some points honestly. I don’t think the writing style was my jam, I really think the plot was good and liked the second half of the book better than the first half and the spice was decent too!

I loved this book! It kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to know more. Every time I was doing something else I would be thinking about these characters and what could happen next. If you love the bad boy hockey player X tutor trope you will love this.

Firstly, thank you to Brooke for letting me ARC read your debut novel! You done amazing!
This story follows Adrian and Clara. Who are forced into each other’s lives when Clara is chosen to tutor Adrian. Let’s just say, the tension was HOT. You could feel it burning through the pages. This story has everything you want. Slow burn, the good girl and the bad boy. The bad boy falls HARD for the good girl. These two worked perfectly together. The spice was spicing. The banter was bantering. Her smart mouth was everything! The way Clark always backed Adrian and visa versa was so well written you could feel the love flooding between them!
Another 5 star ARC review from me!

This book could use a few more rounds through the edit cycle. So many gaps and redundancies that makes it hard to read and get through.
1. The characters personalities are barely developed. Like the MMC’s only trait for half the book is like psychopath and it’s all because he wants to hide he’s dyslexic. He doesn’t talk to anyone, doesn’t consider any of his team his friends, actually barely ever talks to the FMC and just wants to destroy her before he even meets her. The FMC was a little better but we basically stopped hearing about her after she diagnoses him with dyslexia.
2. Huge plot hole is they never revealed the FMC’s background story. Like she has a dead dad and is afraid of the dark. It was hinted at through the first half of the book that something traumatic happened and that’s why she didn’t like the dark and was so scared of the MMC at first but that was basically just dropped? And her and her dad used to watch hockey but she just stopped going, that was never explained. Could be because her dad died but was never brought up really.
3. I would say 40% of the book is repeated dialogue or dialogue that doesn’t make sense. The big shoe drop is the MMC has dyslexia and FMC suggests anchoring dates to jersey numbers but this conversation happens three times before the final time she brings it up and says out right he has dyslexia. Also sometimes the same character would speak twice answering to what seems like a completely different conversation which is really jarring and confusing
4. The pacing and timeline is all over the place. The first half of the book seems like it happens within the span of two months but then after they get together the book then starts making major time skips going from mid terms to thanksgiving all the way to graduation, but barely gives indication that the time skips are happening. I didn’t even realize they were at graduation until they started talking about caps and gowns since the chapter before was them at some donor dinner for hockey?
5. The details are off. Sometimes the scene would be describing movements as if they were sitting next to each other when the beginning of the scene they were sitting across from each other. The first time they described their tutoring room it was secluded with no windows or outside light but then sometime later in the book she’s opening the window and people are looking at them speaking. The first time they hook up he basically strips her of all clothes right away but later she’s saying the friction of her bra against her chest is too much. They sit on the hood of his jaguar which is completely unrealistic. Stuff like that really takes you right out of the mental picture
6. I can’t believe I’m saying this but there was too much sex. They basically bang all within the second half of the book and they bang literally every scene they are together. I’m usually all for it but with the gaping holes in the plot and development I would say those pages of her sitting on his face would have been better spent filling in some of the missing details
7. Too many things that are unresolved. The big baddie is his dad who is abusive and a piece of shit. They have one dinner with him and then apparently after graduation he’s gearing up for a big attack to prevent the son from entering the draft because he’s with this girl but we get warned about this and then it skips to years in the future where they are married? Why even bring up that he was going to retaliate if we were not going to acknowledge
Overall the premise is interesting. MMC is a psycho because he has something to hide, FMC is just trying to survive in some dystopian version of college where they hate poor people. I was intrigued and that’s why I did ended up finishing but it was not worth it in my opinion. Execution fell flat on a pretty interesting concept. Won’t be continuing the series unfortunately.

A hockey romance with forced proximity, enemies to lovers, sharp-tongued good girl tutor x bad boy hockey captain with a darkness, and intense tension with possessive notes and a sweet singe of slow burn.
Adrian Hale, the moody, closed-off captain of the hockey team, has only operated on protecting himself, throwing up walls to make sure no one can get too close. He permeates the air with his anger, his unspoken brokenness inside of him, vibrating a cutting and cold persona that has everyone making room for him.
Clara Harrington, an equally guarded and closed-off entity that harbors a fear of the dark. She is intelligent and witty; she has no time for anything but academics and the responsibilities of her scholarship/grant. Despite how hard she works, the school doesn't take the seriousness of her place when it comes to the university's elite legacies.
Adrian has spent his life living in the shadow of his father; the last name 'Hale' weighs heavily on him, as if he is merely borrowing it. When the threat of suspension looms due to his poor academic performance, he reluctantly accepts help from a tutor. With midterms approaching, his future hangs in the balance. What he doesn’t realize is that Clara is in a similar predicament but from an entirely different perspective. Having watched her mother work double shifts to make ends meet, Clara mirrors that work ethic, determined to maintain her scholarship until it becomes contingent upon the success of the hockey captain. She is tasked with safeguarding the asset.
Despite their disdain for each other and their forced proximity, Clara begins to see beyond the walls and cracks, realizing he isn't just a "dumb jock" but a human who has been broken and neglected, and actually processes things differently yet deemed lazy and unmotivated. Realizing that she is on the right path, she shifts her tutoring approach, and that seems to bring not only his walls but hers down as well. They both are the definition of calculated, obsessive, observant, controlling, almost in a ritualistic way; they never stray from their practiced routines. Their stress is alleviated at the conclusion of midterms, leaving room where an undeniable connection blooms, pulling them together at a rapid pace. They start rebuilding each other; together, they become two halves of a broken whole—an unexpected remedy for one another's pain. Yet, Adrian struggles with the weight of his burdensome last name and the shadows it brings, retreating into practiced self-destructive behavior that distances him from Clara, but Clara doesn't go easy and not without him saying it to her face. When he realizes the gem she is, he holds tighter - letting her in to see all the scars, everything his father has and is doing. Clara understands his struggles and supports him in standing up against his father, who threatens to take everything away, leaving him with the ultimatum: her or hockey. Adrian doesn’t hesitate; he chooses Clara. Clara helps Adrian dismantle the walls built by his father’s negativity and transforms him from a beaten-down boy into the man he was always meant to be. In return, Adrian shows her that she is more than she believes herself to be. She empowers him to trade anger for strategy, enabling him to navigate the challenges and those that threaten his future.
They no longer hide from their storms; instead, they embraced and tamed each others chaos. They redefined the rules and their relationship, becoming an unstoppable force. Initially thrown together by circumstance, they transform their bond into something powerful and untouchable. They, together, are a storm to be reckoned with.
Thank you to the author for the chance to read this for you in advance! I loved it.

Dark, icy, and addictive — a power-play romance that burns beneath the surface
Spice Rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Tropes: Enemies-to-lovers • Forced proximity • Tutor/student • Damaged hero
This 350-page, medium-burn college hockey romance kicks off the Titans of Briarcliff series with dark tension, emotional depth, and a hero who’s one bad decision away from losing everything.
“He’s the king of the ice. I’m the scholarship girl who’s supposed to save him.”
Told in dual POV, Shattered Ice pairs Adrian Hale—the golden captain with a crumbling façade—with Clara Harrington, the disciplined survivor just trying to stay invisible. Their tutoring sessions are warzones of tension, every snark-filled exchange brimming with heat and emotional risk.
“He pushes. I push back. He thinks he can crack me open. I refuse to be conquered.”
Adrian’s darkness hides more than arrogance—it’s pain, guilt, and the pressure of perfection. Clara’s strength is her armor, but Brooke Wilder peels it back layer by layer until we see the girl who’s terrified to fall. Their chemistry is magnetic—raw and slow-burn—but once the wall cracks, it’s fire and ice colliding.
Wilder balances grit and heart beautifully here. The hockey setting gives the story texture without overpowering the relationship. Side characters add tension and intrigue, especially the other Titans whose stories are clearly brewing. If there’s a flaw, it’s that some emotional beats repeat in the middle stretch—but the payoff in the final act absolutely lands.
“In the shadows of the rink, hate starts to taste like hunger.”
Shattered Ice is a powerful start to the Titans of Briarcliff series—equal parts sharp, sensual, and unexpectedly tender. Clara and Adrian will leave you bruised and breathless, and you’ll be begging for the next Titan’s fall.

*arc review*
Okay so I don’t even know where to start, first of all, a huge thank you to Brooke for allowing me to be part of the arc team 🫶🏻
Now let’s get into it, this follows Adrian and Clara. This has everything you could want from a slow burn, it has tension, it has the good girl x bad boy, it has the complicated pasts, it has obsession, it has angst.
Adrian Hale is morally grey, he’s angsty, he’s obsessed, he’s the star hockey player. Clara Harrington is the scholar, the good girl, the tutor. The way these two study each other the entire time is fucking amazing. We have banter, we have tension, we have panic attacks and we have Dyslexia.
He calls it control, she calls it survival. This couldn’t be better written. Brooke, this is amazing, be proud of yourself 🖤

If you like Spice, Enemies to Lovers, and Slow Burn you’ll like this book.
This book follows the story of Adrian and Clara. It shows how they are forced into each other’s lives.
Each of the characters have their own personality, struggled and over coming their wants. I am glad I read this book because the struggles they both go through make them stronger in my opinion. This book has a bunch of spice but it was fun reading how a good girl couldn’t stop thinking of a bad boy.
I liked this book because I love all the sass Clara gives Adrian lol. Never can have to much of that..
The spice was a little to much for me but over all well written and easy to fall in love with each of the characters and what they over came together.
4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and 4.5 🌶️🌶️ 🌶️🌶️

The overall book is really good; I’m still reading and haven’t finished yet. But there are multiple parts that repeat. Sections that have been duplicated (i.e. the big dyslexia reveal where they tie numbers to jerseys is mentioned several times and isn’t new by the time the “reveal” occurs on page 180) and lines where it seems like there were two ideas and both were included instead of just one, shown by skipped lines or by including two responses by the same person instead of one.
Edit: now that I’ve finished, I just want to add that I really love how they team up together to take down anyone trying to stand against them. It’s much more satisfying than any 3rd act break up and I love it!

They were forced together, one a scholarship tutor, the other a legacy, ice hockey captain with a savage reputation. Two people carrying their own burdens, neither willing to back down. As they clash and outmaneuver each other, something unexpected happens—they grow fond of one another. I loved the strength and intensity both characters radiate: their unwillingness to give up, their determination to fight for what matters, and their courage to stand tall through it all. It’s a story about resilience, pride, and finding connection in the most unlikely places. i received this as an ARC and grateful for it

⭐️ 3 stars for me
Good girl x bad boy is always such a fun trope! I love a possessive MMC, and Adrian is definitely that. I also liked that there wasn’t too much drama, and their little interactions were just so interesting!
The writing style didn’t fully click with me, it’s a bit more poetic than I’m used to, but I still enjoyed the story overall.
P.S. I’m not a fan of covers with real people, but this one’s just too good!!

Shattered Ice (ARC Review)
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
“You’re mine, Clara,” he says, his voice a low, rough growl that vibrates through me. “You’ve been mine since I walked into that fucking library.”
What happens when you mix a hockey bad boy and a tutor ? Sparks!! Adrian and Clara start off as enemies until Adrian becomes obsessed and then they are exactly what each other needs. If you love enemies to lovers with an obsessed crazed MMC then this book is for you. It is a slow burn but totally worth it!

Oh my heart. It was no ok for a little there. These two became everything to each other when they needed it the most. Two souls destined to be anchors. I hope that there is more to this series. I need another one for sure. Handsome hockey player and a beautiful tutor. Possessive. Obsessive. And totally in love with the woman who’s not afraid to talk back 💥

Dnf so hard… AI definitely helped write this….

This is a college hockey romance between the team captain, Adrian and his tutor, Clara. It is dual POV.
I feel like I need to break my review into two parts. The first half of the book is just both characters in their head trying to dominate each other. You could count the times they think "challege". 🤔 It did not sell me.
However, the second half did. Once, they finally open up and have a conversation he claims her as his. He is ready to burn the world for her. Clara becomes his rock to face the challenges he is facing in the hockey world.
