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 warrines 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.

MY REVIEW

Ty's nanny has just given her notice, and Ty's completely at a loss. Thank God a savior in the form of his boss's sister comes along and saves him and his daughter. But there's one little problem - there's a spark between them that they cannot give into. After all, she's his boss's sister, and his temporary nanny...

Indie has long held a secret that has left its mark on her in the form of not just emotional and physical damage, but has given her anxiety attacks and nightmares. She hides it from her family and tries to act as if everything is fine in front of them. Then along comes Ty and his beautiful daughter who start to break down her barriers. Now she's realizing she needs to get herself straight if she wants a future with them.

I gotta say that Ty is a saint. He's Indie's rock, and exactly what she needed - someone to love her through her healing, love her through her stubbornness (and damn is she freaking stubborn!!!) and love her enough to stick around when she pushed him away. I felt for her even though her stubbornness caused a lot of pain, both for herself and for Ty. Considering what had caused her behavior, though, I can absolutely get behind her even though she was really frustrating. Her and Ty's story is so heartfelt. Some angst, funny texting banter, and two stubborn, damaged, but lovable people who find love with each other while traveling down a very bumpy road.
