Fighting against Gravity (Ice Tigers #3) by Isabella Cassazza Review

Fighting against Gravity by Isabella Cassazza
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Isabella Cassazza scores a hat trick with book three in the Ice Tigers series, FIGHTING AGAINST GRAVITY. Hockey defensemen Michael King suffers a career-ending injury. He does not handle his situation well and takes out his emotions on single mother/interior decorator Ellie Sullivan. When he goes to apologize to her, he accidentally causes her to break her leg. He offers to help her with her son, so she does not lose her business. She reluctantly accepts. This contemporary enemy to lover’s romance is suitable for adult readers.

Isabella Cassazza does a great job with this story. The plot was clever. My heart went out to Michael. He suffered a brutal injury that left him using a cane to walk. He has lived and breathed hockey and not handling the loss well. Ellie is a great heroine. She is a wonderful mom. She has some trust issues to overcome. She is the owner of the Cozy Cottage (mentioned in books one and two). I love that she stands up to Michael. The two have great chemistry. I enjoyed their verbal sparring. She brings life back to Michael. They help heal each other. I love how Michael reinvents himself.

FIGHTING AGAINST GRAVITY is a skillfully written and heartwarming read. It is the perfect addition to the Ice Tigers series. I recommend it to people who enjoy enemy to lover’s sports romances. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Center of Gravity (Ice Tigers #2) Isabella Cassazza Review

Center of Gravity by Isabella Cassazza
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Isabella Cassazza is on a winning streak with Center of Gravity (Ice Tigers Hockey #2). Emilia Ravelli and Matt Walker spend one amazing night together in Italy, only knowing the other's first name. Emilia moves to Boston to become the new GM of the Ice Tigers’ hockey franchise. She’s shocked to discover that Matt is one of her players. This contemporary sports romance is suitable for adult readers.

Isabella Cassazza does a fantastic job with this story. Emilia and Matt have a lot of stressful issues to overcome in this novel. Especially Emilia who is thrown into a situation, she knows nothing about. She handles herself well. They both grow considerably throughout this book. I enjoyed the fashion twist with the sports team. I love that they get a second chance to be together. This story is a good example of why communication is important.

I love that Tyler Wolfe, Danny Fisher, and Lily Parker from book one, Defying Gravity played an integral role in this story. I’m looking forward to Michael’s story in book three, Fighting against Gravity. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Defying Gravity by Isabella Cassazza

Title: Defying Gravity
Series: Ice Tigers #1
Author: Isabella Cassazza
Genre: Sport (Hockey) Romance/MMF Ménage
Release Date: February 25, 2019

Two men, a woman—an unexpected love story.

Tyler Wolfe has it all, or does he? He’s living his dream, playing pro hockey for the Boston Ice Tigers, and at thirty he’s become one of the NHL’s top scorers. Everything would be perfect if he didn’t have to hide the most important thing in his life.

Danny Fisher has had enough. Almost two years of hiding his relationship with Tyler have taken a toll on him, and when his very own hockey hottie is supposed to take part in his team’s social media dating show romancing women, Danny considers leaving Tyler.

Lily Parker is struggling with her career. Training young horses isn’t an easy job—one where she has recently been lying in the dirt more than being on the horse. An evening meant to leave her problems behind her leads to a chance encounter with Danny and Tyler, complicating her life even more.

Can Lily help Danny and Tyler overcome their problems, or will her presence cause even more trouble in their relationship?

Defying Gravity (Ice Tigers Book 1) can be read as a standalone. HEA guaranteed.

Defying Gravity (Ice Tigers #1) by Isabella Cassazza Review

Defying Gravity by Isabella Cassazza
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Isabella Cassazza wins with DEFYING GRAVITY, the first book in the Ice Tigers series. Boston Ice Tigers NHL star, Tyler Wolfe, has a secret, his boyfriend, Danny Fisher. Their lives change after meeting, Lily Parker. This contemporary sports romance is suitable for adult audiences.

I adored this story. Tyler, Danny, and Lily are all amazing characters. They are all very different but fit together. Tyler is an in the closet athlete. He distances himself from his teammates fearing they will discover his secrete. Danny is his patient bisexual boyfriend. He is a physiotherapist; this is great considering Tyler and Lily are athletes. Then horse trainer, Lily, enters their lives changing it forever.

Lily is a sweet person. She has good intentions. I felt horrible for what her friend, Nathalie, went through. It’s understandable how Lily becomes involved with Tyler and Danny. I enjoyed the horse training aspect of the story. It was very detailed, and I felt like I learned a few things.

I adored how the characters developed throughout the story. They make a serious positive impact on each other’s lives. I love that Tyler opens to his teammates. Everything about this story was perfect. It was believable. There were relevant obstacles. Isabella Cassazza does a fantastic job getting you in the characters' heads.

I appreciated Isabella Cassazza writing style. DEFYING GRAVITY was skillfully written and engaging. It had me hooked from start to finish. I cannot wait for book two, CENTER OF GRAVITY. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
