“This might be my favorite romance book, but we’re my favorite love story.”

I absolutely adored Henry so much and found him very relatable. Just like the others in this series, it’s a YA adult with mature content. While I felt a connection with both main characters for different reasons, Henry truly reached out to me. One, I think we all need a Henry in our life who will call us out on our nonsense while also being the sweetest/ most considerate person ever. I mean those Christmas gifts… come on! This was a fun and quick read that I enjoyed from start to finish.

I really really enjoyed this book! I had the privilege of reading the physical and the audio and felt it only enhanced the experience. I appreciated the fact that the mc’s were respectful of each other and their needs. Absolutely recommend!

hannah grace took it upon herself to write the longest, most boring book in existence and based on the amount of naps i took, i'd say she succeeded. nothing happens in this story, it's entirely plotless and uninspired. it's literally just two people complaining about their personal issues for 500 pages.

i mean i love halle, LOVE henry!! u could bake them into a pie, they're so freaking sweet! but they are the worst main characters ever and it makes reading this book a very rough experience.

three stars tho for that damn cute ending and for the relatability factor

imma write a better review and post it on the release date but yeah, this one was better in terms of writing style but was still as convoluted and drawn out as her other books are.

I have loved each book in this series, and it seems I like each more than the last! I loved this book so much. Both of the main characters were very relatable, but Henry especially stole my heart. Henry was exactly the adorable sweetheart we were all expecting him to be after the first two books, but he was also so much more. Overall, I'm obsessed with this one.

This book was fine. Maybe my favorite of the series, but not a series I’m in love with. I thought the characters were well developed but the conflict didn’t grab me. For how spicy it was, the romance definitely held on to the “friend” vibe much longer than I wanted it to. I didn’t understand why they never really got together, or the FMCs reluctance for the label. It made it hard to root for or believe in the connection between the two of them, Overall, the pacing felt slow but it was still an enjoyable read.

I received an advance review copy for free from the publisher via Netgalley and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

What a dreamy romance this is. Our main characters fit so well together. And it was lovely seeing the main characters from the previous books. I also love the cover!

I loved this book so much! I’d recommend to readers that you read wildfire first before daydream. I’m very excited to see what the author has next in store for us, really enjoy their books!

Best book from Hannah Grace so far! While I have enjoyed each book in the Maple Hills series so far, as the series has progressed the writing has improved. The first book "Icebreaker" gave more good time vibes and seemed to be more about the spice than plot (still a good time and valid), but now we are getting into the plots being more developed and taking center stage while still having spice. This is my personal sweet spot if you removed the spice you still have a good story, but please please please don't take my spice away, not asking for that now.
Really enjoyed Henry and Halle's aqantice to friends to lovers/fake to real dating story. Also even more loved the growth they made individually as people. Halle's girl gang is precious and fierce! Over all a hehehaha kicking feet of a good time book. Also listened to the audiobook since was late on reviewing this and enjoyed the audiobook as well.

I genuinely loved every single thing about this book! the plot: had me hooked from the first page, the characters: I loved every single one and if you love a good found family then you should definitely read this cause the friendship in the book made me want to cry. the romance: 10/10 omfg Halle and Henry have my whole heart and they need to be protected at all costs! Definitely my favorite book in the series!

I was so excited for this book and it did not disappoint! These two characters, Henry & Halle are so cute And their story, which is the 3rd book in the Maple Hills series, may just be my favorite. Hallee, the FMC, is so relatable. She likes books, is a bit shy and puts everyone's needs ahead of her own. It was a great friends to lovers with a slow burn to the spice. Definitely not as spicy as the first two in this series but stll such a good story.

The third installment of the Icebreaker series finally dives into Henry's love story. Henry is the new captain of the hockey team, albeit reluctantly. He is struggling in one of his classes and knows that he's going to have to work harder to keep up with his coursework. Henry befriends Halle when he crashes her book club at the book store. Halle agrees to tutor Henry, on top of all her other responsibilities. In return, Henry promises to help her with new experiences so she can write her novel. The only rule is to not fall in love.

This to me was a little different than the previous Icebreaker books. It felt more cute and slow burn, but I actually really liked that for Henry and Halle. I liked the buildup to their relationship and found myself smiling at the cute moments. Don't get me wrong, I think there are a good amount of spicy scenes, they're just later in the book. I love seeing their relationship grow as they're working on their own issues. Henry is a complicated character and has a lot of qualms about being the captain of the hockey team. I really liked that his friends supported him as he decided what was right for him. Halle is struggling to keep up with all the demands of being the eldest daughter in a big family,. while putting her dreams up front as well. I really sympathized with her people pleasing ways, but I was so glad to see her develop throughout the book. I love the new friendships she forms and I really liked that she felt supported by Henry and her friends.

I think overall, this was a different installment to the Icebreaker series. I liked it and I liked Henry and Halle as the main characters. I loved seeing the others from the previous books show up! I would definitely recommend this one if you're a fan of the series!

I was so excited to read this book! I loved Icebreaker and Wildfire and was so happy to get more of the story. The beginning was a little slower than the other two books and it took a little bit to get into but it really helped establish who Henry was as a character and helped him become the lovable guy we’re all rooting for. Here’s hoping for more Maple Hills!

College romance that muddles mental health issues. Not a fan, could not get into it, and don't think it is fair to give feedback.
