Welcome to the ‘Love on Thin Ice’ series, seven authors, seven short novels, and one charming town, welcome to Maple Falls where heartwarming love stories live. Our fourth book of the ‘Love on Thin Ice’ series is ‘Love in Overtime’ written by. Melissa Baldwin.

Blair is a publicist and is just utter sunshine and now has her work cut out for when her new client is known to be a real grump, but Blair is a girl who likes a challenge and is good at what she does. Cooper is a grumpy hockey player who is having a bit of a hard time adjusting to his new charity hockey team but when he makes a commitment he sticks to it after all this is for the kids and with him having a rough childhood himself he knows how important these charity games are. But Cooper has another thing he’s trying to adjust to or well more of a someone he’s trying to adjust to Blair is his new publicist because his old one went into retirement but Cooper has been attracted to Blair ever since he landed in Maple Falls and saw her standing there, but he’s not the only one Blair feels their connection too, but they have to keep it professional but they keep finding it harder and harder to fight the growing feelings between themselves. Will Blair and Cooper step over the line of professionalism and dive into something more? Read ‘Love in Overtime’ now to find out.

I’m four books into the series now and I’m obsessed and basically half way through.
The characters are realistic with real emotions, that feel authentic.
I think that Blair and Cooper are each others other half they balance each other out they worked perfectly together.

I liked to wrap this up by giving a huge thank you to the author Melissa Baldwin along with NetGalley and the publishers for sending me an advanced readers copy of this book, it was a joy to read.

While this book is a nice, easy read, it also felt a bit rushed which means I wasn't as connected to the main characters as I wanted to be.

I will admit that I hadn't read any prior books but it definitely didn't stop me from enjoying it!
I loved the fact this was blush-free (closed-door) -- sometimes I want my hockey romance without smut, and that's sooooo rare!
The characters didn't feel completely fleshed out but again, I still liked the book

love in overtime! wow, I absolutely adored this book, I haven't read this author before and I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Love in Overtime is a sweet story about Blair, a publicist who scored her dream job of keeping tabs on Cooper Montgomery, a grumpy hockey player. Although known as the resident grump around his teammates, Cooper is really just a man who likes stability and routine. While in Maple Falls for Cooper’s charity hockey event, Blair and Cooper fight their growing attraction to each other but soon find that leaning on each other can make both of their lives better.

If you like confident but not cocky MMCs, you’ll love Cooper. I loved that he knew what he wanted, wasn’t afraid to say it and especially when it came to Blair it felt like there was no “if” with him, it was just a matter of “when”. If you love cozy and sweet fall vibes with a confident MMC, this is a great book for you!

I loved being back in Maple Falls again for this hockey game and getting to check in, sort of, with the couples from other bo0ks. The chemistry wasn’t there for me with these two and I didn’t feel like he was very grumpy/grouchy for the trope to fit. There wasn’t much character development or fun banter between them, either. Also, for a hockey romance, there was almost no mention of the actual game and what there was showed a lack of understanding on how the game works.

I loved this book so much! The romance was so cute and I loved their banter. If you are looking for grumpy sunshine this book is for you!

This is book #4 in the cutest multi-author hockey romance Love On Thin Ice series. Based in the adorable small town of Maple Falls around a charity hockey team called The Icebreakers. They can all be read as standalones but I am loving reading them in order and learning about the characters and places mentioned in each previous book!

Love In Overtime is Cooper and Blair’s story and holy grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract, this was the sweetest! Cooper is a no nonsense, quiet, not known for smiling kind of guy, and Blair is bubbly, always excited, and crazy outgoing. He falls fast and hard, and she isn’t far behind. I read somewhere that this is a slow burn, but honestly, I don’t agree. It is more of an insta love and a quick read on top of that so the story moves fast, but not at all in a bad way.

As the story develops Cooper’s layers are peeled back and he is such a sweetheart and Blair is the cutest basic girl who loves all things small town fall and I couldn’t get enough of them! Even with the bonus content, I wanted more! I loved their chemistry and connection and hope to see more of them in the books to come.

This was my first read by Melissa Baldwin and I am loving how this series is introducing me to all of these talented new authors. Go do yourself a favor and read these books! They’re all so perfectly unique yet connected.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for the opportunity to read and review this book.

The only thing Cooper enjoys is playing hockey. He is not interested in the extra activities surrounding it, and the only reason he agrees to the charity tournament is because of the children.
Blair has just landed her dream job - to be Coopers publicist. He is known to be a grump and not easy to work with. She is all ready for the challenge, but not ready for the crush she has developed on him.
This was a cute grumpy/ sunshine read. It was a short and quick read. All the 7 books are based during the same time frame, and we get to enjoy seeing on outsiders view to them blooming.
This was my 2nd book in this series, and I am definitely enjoying them.

This was the 4th book in this series and it is hard to believe that each one was written by a different author! It all flows so well, but each seem to add a little something different. This was an adorable story of the Bubbly Publicist and the Grumpy Hockey Player changing each other's life forever. I adored this story! This was my first book by Melissa Baldwin, but it will not be my last! I already have 2 more to read! Don't forget to read thru to the authors note at the end and there is a bonus epilogue link with a wonderful surprise! Thanks #Netgalley for this amazing ARC! On to the next in the series!

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for a honest review. I enjoyed the grumpy and sunshine trope from this book. Cooper doesn't have an easy time having fun and is known for being grumpy by the public. Blair is a publicist who enjoys having fun and being joyful. Cooper and Blair have an instant love and a slow-burn relationship. They become good working peers and friends, leading to a great relationship. Blair brings out the best in Cooper and helps him come out of his shell. While I enjoyed this book, it seemed to move quickly, and I wish this book were a little longer so we could have read more about this relationship. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

A great story, engaging funny and fast paced. I absolutely adore hockey romances and this one is up there with the more trending titles. A must read if you love this kind of sports romance

This is the Grumpy/sunshine trope done right. Cooper was actually just kind of grumpy, not just straight up rude like most guys in the grumpy/sunshine trope. Their romance was so cute and it was so fun to be back in Maple Falls. I can’t wait to read the next book!

Love in Overtime is the fourth book in the Love on Thin Ice series, which is a series of small town romcoms with each volume being written by a different romance author. This one is by Melissa Baldwin.

The series take place in the small town of Maple Falls, centering around a charity hockey competition. This volume stars Blair and and Cooper. Cooper usually plays for the Tennessee Wolves, but he is coming to Maple Falls to play for the Ice Breakers. For some reason he doesn’t have the best reputation in the league and is seen as grumpy. Blair is taking over as his new publicist and it is only during this trip that he is finally meeting her face to face. Upon meeting, feelings flourish at first sight for both of them, but can they get together for a happily ever after? Well of course, it wouldn’t be much of a romance if they couldn’t, right? lol. We’ve seen both of the characters in the background of the previous books and now they take center stage. Blair bubbly positive personality makes her instantly likable, so naturally you’ll want her to find love. Cooper gets described as grumpy in the previous books and I was expecting there to be some kind of conflict or reason for this, but honestly he didn’t really come off as that much of a grump. And there wasn’t much in the way of them falling in love or anything threatening to keep them apart. So the truth is that this one comes off as more of just a sweet falling in love story. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It added another layer to the Maple Falls saga, where love in definitely in the air for … well, everyone, lol. Like the previous books, this is on the short side, making it quite easy to read in only a sitting or two. It would be really fun to see Hallmark or some other service make the entire book series into a limited series, introducing us to all the characters and allowing us to witness all of the various relationships coming together as at the same time. I can totally picture getting to see the certain events (like the party or the farmer’s market, etc.) from all the various POVs. I’d like to thank the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review an eARC of Love in Overtime.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Cooper and Blair have an instant attraction when they meet at the airport. The only problem is Blair is Cooper's new agent.

Read this if you love:
- hockey romance
- kissing only/hallmark type romance
- happily ever after
- small town romance
- no 3rd act breakup
- instalove

This was just a happy, Hallmark movie minus the slight drama, book! A perfect fall read for when it's a lil chilly outside and you want something light but still has some personality and swooniness along with some funny moments. I'll definitely be reading more from this author!

Received this as an ARC. I really liked Blair in the quick moments we saw her in Kiera’s book! Cooper being the grumpy hockey player was intriguing. I wanted more substance to their relationship. It was almost too quick for me. I didn’t have time to feel their connection. Would give this 3.5 stars. I love Maple Falls and love that with each book we get to be brought back to this magical town. I can’t wait for the next book!

If you love small town love stories or sports romances look no further than Love in Overtime (Love on Thin Ice #4). This is a series written by multiple authors set in the small town, town of Maple Falls, Washington and Cooper and Blair’s journey and it’s a great addition to the series. Blair has just become Copper’s new publicist and her first job is to get the grumpy hockey player to mix in and play for a charity team put together in Maple Falls. The only thing that softens Cooper is the children’s charity that is going to benefit but will Blair turn Cooper’s life upside down…..one click this little gem to find out. I loved everything about this book, I fell hard and fast for Cooper and Blair is the girl I want as a new best friend. The town moto is “You’ll Never Want To Leave Maple Falls” and after reading this quick story that’s exactly how I felt, I swooned and I giggled but more importantly I was left smiling and a sure sign I have just finished a great read.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me access to this book in exchange for a honest review!

First off I would like to say this book made for a fun and easy fall-themed read. It was low-stakes and surrounded with fun fall activities. I enjoyed the banter the two characters had between them and the romance was sweet and not over the top! Overall I would recommend this book for a quick and easy read that leaves you feeling happy at the end.
