I searched the TapReel app for ‘Holiday Hockey Tale: The Icebreaker’s Impasse‘ and while it is a full length serial, I assume it is a seasonal sports-romance read promoted through the TapReel app for December. If you are interested in reading another hockey romance then you may enjoy ‘Pucked On Ice‘ which is a free read on the TapReel app. This sports-romance follows a hockey team on a chaotic road trip. Their bus breaks down in a small town and the gruff captain is forced to rely on the town’s local mechanic for repairs. The mechanic is not impressed by the Captain’s gruff demeanor.

My searches for harder-to-find titles are kind of like solving a small mystery. I first try searching the major online bookstores (Kindle, B&N, Apple Books) as well as Google Books to see if I can find a preview of Holiday Hockey Tale: The Icebreaker's Impasse. If I don’t find it there, I try searching the library’s catalog using WorldCat and then attempt to borrow it via interlibrary loan. For web serials, etc. (such as indie fiction, even published titles by small publishers), I search for the work on Wattpad, AO3, and RoyalRoad using tags like “hockey,” “holiday,” and “sports romance.”
I also monitor authors’ online presences, such as where they post chapters of their work (like on their own blogs, on Patreon, or on Tumblr), and put them on my watch list for reprints or sales of their e-books. Eventually, checking ISBN numbers and the names of publishers will usually uncover a copy of a book that I hadn’t been able to find before. And I always try to purchase or borrow a book through official channels, in order to respect the authors and their work. It’s such fun to find a new story to read on a chilly evening.

To read 'Holiday Hockey Tale: The Icebreaker's Impasse', I typically start with the “official” channels first and work my way out from there. Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble typically list most indie and traditionally published works for eBook purchasing. A Google search for the title (in quotes) often brings up the author’s website and/or publisher’s website, complete with link to buy, sample chapters, and information on pre-ordering. If an ISBN is listed for the title, it can be much easier to search for hardcopy versions of the book and check if they are available in local libraries, etc. via WorldCat.
If those do not work, I search for it at my local library via WorldCat, then see if it is available digitally via my local library via Libby/OverDrive or Hoopla. If I suspect that the work that I am reading is fanfiction or that it is a self-published work that is released serially, I try searching for it on Wattpad, Archive of Our Own, FanFiction.net, and RoyalRoad. Checking out author Facebook pages, Tumblr blogs, and communities on Reddit for books and fanfiction can also lead to translations, re-writes, and places where the work is officially sold. I try to support the author by purchasing or borrowing through legitimate channels whenever possible, but I have discovered so many fantastic stories by stumbling upon them through the fandom for a particular story, and that thrill of discovery never fades for me.

Unfortunately, Holiday Hockey Tale: The Icebreaker’s Impasse is not widely available yet, but I found a few alternatives. It turns out that many indie authors, including those who write sports-romance or holiday novellas, release their work as serialized posts on their author pages and newsletters, often as short e-books that can be purchased individually or read for free as chapters are released. Search the exact title of your desired book in quotes on Amazon/Kindle, Google Play Books, or Smashwords (an e-book distributor), and you should find a storefront listing with links to buy the book and read a sample. I actually purchased and downloaded this Kindle version on a snowy road trip, and it synced just fine to my phone for reading on the train later.
Then there are Archive of Our Own and Wattpad where sometimes authors even serialize their fan-adjacent works, or post a clean version of a novella under their own handle. Some people even post links to free copies on an author’s Patreon or Tumblr. I’ve even found that some of the indie e-books are available for borrowing through libraries via OverDrive or Libby. Last winter I even managed to read a holiday-themed novella. My tip for locating any of these free versions of Holiday Hockey Tale: The Icebreaker’s Impasse is to follow the author on Twitter/Instagram. This way you can find out where they are uploading the story and how you can support them to get new chapters up as quickly as possible.

For starters, the title of the short story I was referring to is ‘Holiday Hockey Tale: The Icebreaker’s Impasse‘. It is available for paid download via a variety of channels such as Kindle/Amazon (Kindle, paperback) and Google Play Books (paid e-book). Should the author of your chosen short story have a website of their own, you may be able to purchase her work as a DRM-free EPUB from her website (Gumroad, etc) or even as part of a discounted bundle of other short holiday stories she’s written. For example, I once came across a bundle of just that sort of thing.
If you’re interested in serialized content or even participatory fan fiction, I did find that the title exists on Wattpad and Archive of Our Own, some holiday sports fics get updated throughout the year. For translations, and especially for fan-created content such as extra scenes or illustrations of characters from the story, check out the author on Reddit, particularly in forums devoted to hockey romance, and hockey fanfiction by season or holiday. There’s even a Discord or two. And of course, be sure to check out official translations and fan-created content on platforms such as Wattpad, Archive of Our Own, and also on the author’s own website (presumably linked from their social media), as well as paying for the author’s work on platforms such as Kindle and Comixology, or by becoming a patron on Patreon, and even by simply tipping the author on Ko-fi, even when the work is very cheap to purchase in the first place. I read this one with hot chocolate.

“Top or bottom?” Ethan's timid voice echoed in the motel room, and Kane scoffed.
“Suck me off first and I'll tell you,” Kane replied and seductively licked his lips.
“What makes you think I’d suck you? How about you kneel for me?” Ethan spat with a grimace, trying to sound unbothered even though he knew he had a lot at stake.
A low, husky chuckle slipped from Kane's lips, and the room fell into a strange silence, their breathing and the soft wind the only sounds between them. Suddenly, Kane wrapped his arms around Ethan's back, pulling him close as his hand slid down to grip him firmly. "Let’s do this."

Warning: This is an extreme, high-spice, dark sports romance featuring an unhinged, ultra-possessive alpha hero and heavy bully themes. It contains dubcon/non-con elements, public humiliation, birth control tampering, and breeding themes. There is minimal grovel—the beast stays a beast. Read at your own discretion.
