Small town vibes and puck dropping
Sugar On Ice takes you back to Cedar Bluff, where you get to meet the town baker and two town heroes that are about to make life real interesting.
Goldie is full of sunshine and brightness and taking care of the community. So when trouble lands on her doorstep those around her step up to help. Which means months of secret glances and long distance crushes just might get closer as Tanner the golden boy cop, and Rhea the spunky firefighter decide to help their sweet baker anyway they can.
Now Goldie finds herself between Tanner and Rhea. Both offering something different that makes it impossible to choose. As they navigate feelings, small town drama, and the up coming cuffs vs hoses charity event.
I loved watching the growth in the characters. Watching the rivalry between Tanner and Rhea (because we know cops and firefighters love to against each other) and how it changed throughout the book. The connection between the characters was so well done. And the spice we can't forget about the spice that is always top notch in A.M. McCoy's book.
And I can't not talk about the side characters with main character energy that make the perfect finishing touch to the stories.
So if you are wanting to spend time in a small town, where there will be some drama, characters that leave you obsessed, and not your everyday hockey book, ohhh and hello spice, well then I recommend you reading the Cedar Bluff Penalties Series.
Check the list as some topics may be difficult.

~Sugar On Ice~Cedar Bluff Penalties Book 2~A.M. McCoy~
“Don’t be the strongest person in the room. Not this room. This room is ours. We’re here. And you’re safe. In this room, let us take care of you.”
♡This was the perfect continuation to this amazing series & the fact that we got to see all the characters from book one made it even better!
Goldie, Rhea, & Tanner are all Frontline workers of Cedar Bluff & they each play vital roles in the community. Goldie is our bright & sweet bakery owner, Rhea is our spicy & intense firefighter, & Tanner is our golden retriever police officer who can take charge when needed.
The three of them coming together (pun intended because the spice in this book was top-tier) was full of hilarious banter, so much chemistry, & of course on the edge of your seat tension that kept me hooked from beginning to end! I can't wait to see what comes next in this series (PLEASE LET IT BE JASPER)!♡
~As Always Happy Reading~

Oooh this book was so good!! It had the tension, banter, and sooooo much spice!! But it also had some small town mystery and suspense!! So so good! Goldie, Rhea, and Tanner are so good together I loved how Goldie brought them all together and really made them realize what was right in front of them. Tanner is such a golden retriever with a little Dom side thrown in that I loved, the way he got Rhea to submit ooooh man 🥵🥵🥵. Rhea is such a badass I love her and she takes no crap from anybody especially in her job as a firefighter. Goldie is literally a ray of sunshine unless you’re messing with her loved ones then it’s on! They are all so different and bring different things to the relationship and it just works so well! And I freaking loved Jasper he was so funny! Overall loved the book and highly recommend!

Wow, just WOW. This series keeps getting better and better. The chemistry, the character development, the PLOT are all top notch. I get nervous reading books with FFM as it can easily be done poorly and fetishized, but A.M. McCoy knows how to spin a love story and create equal and inclusive relationships between all parties. I LOVED the banter and the amazing side characters. This book had me begging for more by the end. I cannot wait to see what comes next from the folks in Cedar Bluff.
