GRR Reviews Melting Ice by Jami Davenport

Isaac "Ice" Wolfe did not get along with any team in the NHL, and he was dumped to the newest team in the league, Seattle Sockeyes. He knew if he screwed up again he'll be out on his butt, without a job, without prospects. And he was nothing without ice hockey... Until he met next door neighbor Avery. // Avery dropped out of college to train and show horses, a decision that no one in her family agreed with. She can help the most cantankerous of horses, if you give her enough time. But can she help the wounded hockey player next door? And what happens when they had a hookup, a hot one-night stand, only to find that Avery's sister is the team captain's fiancee, and Ice was ordered to choose between his career, or the woman who can heal him?

A bit deeper than the typical sports romance, all the conflicts seems quite honest, and believable. There's also some family trauma about these three brothers who were all traumatized by their father after death of their mother, and after death of their sister, blamed each other and didn't speak to each other for years.
