I loved this book so much. It is one of those books that you don't want to put down once you start it. I loved how Brooke was able to quietly help Jake to mature as a person. Meanwhile Jake helps Brooke to realize even by small town standards she's not meant to be someone who hides in the crowd. It's a must read for sure.

This was not what the blurb lead me to believe. Instead of a hockey romance this is about bullying, harrassment, and standing up for what is right. So just know that there is some darkness in here that isn't shown in the blurb.
If you enjoy a deep story with a side of romance then this might just be the book for you.

This is the first book in the Juniper Falls series that I read and so my introduction to the small town hockey world. I love a good sports romance and On Thin Ice has all the ingredients to make it an enjoyable read.

The fast-paced story pulled me in from the start and I read the novel in one day. I loved the way the romance between the protagonists grew out of their mutual support for one another after a traumatic experience, but what I found even more captivating was how the athor tackled the bullying storyline. The characters were all so well-portrayed that their motives and inner struggles felt authentic and easy to identify with.

I recommend On This Ice to everyone who likes sports with a bit of romance spicing it up.

I am a fan of Julie Cross's Jupiter Falls series and I have to say On Thin Ice is the best one yet. This is a cute young adult romance that will have you hooked from chapter one. Great Read and another great book by Julie.

Timing is everything! Things either happen when then should or at the worst possible time and for Jake and Brooke time was neither friend nor foe but both! All it took was one look to strike something inside the other, all it took was a few mere seconds for a tradition to turn to a nightmare and all it took was time for Jake and Brooke to make changes that not only affected them but a town hell bent on keeping the secrets hidden!

This was definitely a book that made a statement! So many things happened to not just Brooke but Jake as well! Privilege should be something that yes is earned but also shouldn’t be taken advantage of and the tiny town of Juniper Falls is about to find out how taking advantage of privileges can hurt more than just someone’s pride!

Brooke was quiet and reserved but strong and resilient! She learned from her mistakes and
Discovered that sometimes silence is deafening! Together with Jake she learned how to open up and become the best version of herself as well as teaching Jake that there is more to life then team honor. She gave him the strength he needed to make the biggest decision of his life!
