Break the Ice: (Lakeshore U, Book 1)
By: L A Cotton
🎧 Audiobook Narrated by: Stella Hunter and Teddy Hamilton
Length: 10 hrs and 10 mins
Ebook
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!⭐️
